Core Magazine
While essentially just a more difficult remix of "Metal Slug 2," Metal Slug X is still one of the finest 2D shoot-em-ups since the original "Contra."

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

GamePro
Delivers the goods for a perfect arcade-to-home port, while the game’s console-exclusive features deserve a gaming medal of honor.

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

PSX Nation
A stellar representative of a bygone era of gaming that put more emphasis on skill and personality that textured polygons or sex appeal.

GameSpot
A skewed sense of humor, combined with its frenzied gameplay, gives the game a unique flavor and makes it one of the best side-scrolling shooters out there.

Electric Playground
It's idiotic. It's also pulse-pounding, addictive, cartoony, loud and grating, and essentially engineered to lay the audio/visual Stigmata on mom and dad hard if they happen to be in the same room trying to read US News & World Report.

Game Revolution
It's just refreshing to play to a game like this again, but how much you get out of it depends on how much you like this genre.

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