    As far as the franchise goes, Metal Slug XX is pretty accessible, and most action-oriented gamers will enjoy it.
  2. My Gamer

    Even though Metal Slug has not evolved, it is a still a fun game, but game design changes would definitely be welcomed in the inevitable Metal Slug 8.

    I expect only hardcores and nostalgic gamers to truly enjoy the game. Everyone else will probably play it a handful of times and set it aside.
  4. GameZone
    70
    The campaign is super-short (clocking in at a little under an hour from start to finish), but this is a game that is meant to be played over and over again. Just don't expect much in the way of innovation.

    If you are a fan of the Metal Slug series then you will have already bought this game by now, for everyone else, I would recommend it if:
    1. Y    ou like shmups (bullet hell, run and gun)
    2. You like action games
    It is probably the most accessible of the Metal Slug games due to the Combat School which allows you to learn the patterns of the bosses quite well in particular (note they are not called bosses, but "Base Assault" if you are looking for them in the menu)

    I gave it a 7 as at retail £20 could be too high, though I looked online and got it for less than £12 which represents great value for money.    … Expand
