    There's actually quite a lot to admire here. [Issue#61, p.104]

    Metal Slug XX is so much fun that you can forget its main issues. It's a short game, it has almost no new features and it lacks depth at every level. But it's sheer fun, with great replay value and one of the best coops out there.

    It's intense, destructive fun while it lasts, especially with two players. [Aug 2010, p.79]

    Metal Slug XX isn’t necessarily cheap. At $15, you only get seven stages. Sure, you can stretch the experience with co-op play or limiting your continues, but this is an arcade game at heart – longevity is supposed to come from repeat plays.

    It doesn't scale well on gigantic tellies, and you must endure nasty 4:3 borders, but for the committed, that's all part of the authentic retro fun.

    No insult to the series' legacy, but a workmanlike sequel that didn't need to be made (or ported).
  9. GameSpot

    This side-scrolling shooter has its moments, but it never rises above being a quickie port of a handheld game.
  10. Console Monster

    In short, the game presents a slice of quick-action pie to pass the time but won't keep you anchored for any impressive stretches of time. At the hefty ol' price of 1200MSP, I can't recommend a purchase, 800 would have been far more reasonable.
  11. MS Xbox World
    45
    The bottom line is, 1200 points is just too steep a price to pay for a flawed, frustrating, unbalanced and vastly dated shooter.

    Backgrounds are blurry. [Sept 2010, p.101]

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Very bad graphics compared to MS1,2, and 3. Very poor story. I prefer to spend more time on graphics rather than adding morr buttons and make playing complicated.… Full Review »

    This game is just an average port of metal slug 7, wich is the weakest of the series I really didn't like ms7, is a piece of **** compared toThis game is just an average port of metal slug 7, wich is the weakest of the series I really didn't like ms7, is a piece of **** compared to masterpieces like ms1, 2 and 5. This does not offer anything new except a couple of downloadable characters, that's it. It should not be considered a formal game, is just a weak port. and people wonder why the series ended with this game. Don't buy… Full Review »
