    While essentially just a more difficult remix of "Metal Slug 2," Metal Slug X is still one of the finest 2D shoot-em-ups since the original "Contra."
  2. Gamestyle

    If you own a PSone this is the best thing that has happened to it in years.
  3. IGN

    One of the finest of shooters, because it delivers such a massive volume of exploding things, and in such wonderfully fine detail.
  5. GamePro

    Delivers the goods for a perfect arcade-to-home port, while the game’s console-exclusive features deserve a gaming medal of honor.
  6. PSX Nation

    A stellar representative of a bygone era of gaming that put more emphasis on skill and personality that textured polygons or sex appeal.
  7. GameSpot
    82
    A skewed sense of humor, combined with its frenzied gameplay, gives the game a unique flavor and makes it one of the best side-scrolling shooters out there.
  8. Electric Playground
    79
    It's idiotic. It's also pulse-pounding, addictive, cartoony, loud and grating, and essentially engineered to lay the audio/visual Stigmata on mom and dad hard if they happen to be in the same room trying to read US News & World Report.
  9. Game Revolution
    75
    It's just refreshing to play to a game like this again, but how much you get out of it depends on how much you like this genre.
  10. Cincinnati Enquirer

    A faithful re-creation of the popular 2-D side-scrolling arcade shooter.

The artstyle is arcady and some parts in the gameMetal Slug X is one of the many PSOne classics, it is such an addicting and awesome game. The artstyle is arcady and some parts in the game are really funny. The shooting mechanics and side-scrolling action is better than its ever been. Metal Slug X is like a combination of Metal Slug One and Two, it combines boss fights and it makes the experience longer and better. Metal Slug X is truly a classic.… Full Review »

Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»… Full Review »
