    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 even more colorful. 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. Collapse

  1. If you own a PSone this is the best thing that has happened to it in years.
  2. 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.
