Metal Slug X

Metal slug X, one of the arcade?s most beloved action titles, has received a pixel-perfect transplant to the PlayStation.

For the uninitiated, Slug is a side-scrolling shooter similar to the classic Contra titles. From a side-scrolling view, you collect weapons, blast enemies, and dodge incoming fire. You can even utilize weapons of mass destruction, like tanks, jet fighters, and machine-gun-fitted camels. Slug is the type of old-school arcade-action title that?s been sorely missing from the PlayStation game library.

Metal Slug X delivers the goods for a perfect arcade-to-home port, while the game?s console-exclusive features deserve a gaming medal of honor. In addition to the intense one- and two-player games, players will find several addictive, challenging, and diverse mini-games with activities that range from safely guiding a crawling infant to destroying as many buildings as possible in a limited time. You can also unlock additional hidden mini-games depending on your success rate.

The game also never suffers from slowdown?even when the screen is jam-packed with chaotic action during a wild two-player skirmish. Metal Slug X probably won?t appeal to gamers looking for a title to push the limits of their PlayStations. Yet for players who crave old-school arcade mayhem, X firmly marks the spot.
