    Metal 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 hits the Playstation frontline with a serious boom. As always, the hilarious nazi-like soldiers go out with the awesome demises that are expected of them. The controls are quick to learn, but long to master as you learn to be a supreme dodger. The music is slightly repetitious but adds to the overall gameplay. The fun as hell explosions are a key selling point. 2p games are Metal Slug X hits the Playstation frontline with a serious boom.

The extra minigames are extremely addictive, if not frustrating sometimes. Combat school cuts no slack; trying to gain the instructors respect can be very tasking. Overall, their is tons of eye candy and cute things to laugh at. For the veteran arcade gamer, this game will fill that missing piece of enterntainment that is harder to find in a lot of consoles these days.… Expand

    I loved this game It was so good the only other ps1 game i would ive 10 isnt on this website and trust me I played a lot of psone back in the day that is no light statement. It was so fun to work through the smart levels with decent but detailed and intersesting graphics and it had a perfect easy to learn hard to master like games should be.

    This game is an amazing revision of an already amazing game, the difficulty is great (better if you play it on arcade), the music is great, the character design and mecha design are great, it has this colorful vibe that you don't see very often, simply a classic. As a recommendation play it with a friend and try to beat it with limited continues.

    The best installment of the series. Not as huge and high-def as Metal Slug 3, but its simplicity makes it a perfectly round and pleasant experience to play - especially in 2p-coop!

    Classic with an impeccable artistic section. Fun and super replayable. My favorite of the Neo-Geo.

    What a blast from the past! You can get a bundle of the first three Metal Slugs on steam for $10 on sale. Metal Slug X is a remastered of the second one, I think. Each installment is a great co-op for an hour of gameplay. Good humor, unlimited lives, and pure fun :D

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. 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»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

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

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

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