Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Metal Slug X sets the stage for you to save the world. A power-hungry group of renegades has teamed up with aliens, and together they are planning to assume control of the planet. You are a one-man army whose mission is to squash the rebellion. There are four characters to choose from: Marco, Eri, Tama, and Fio. At the beginning, you've only got a gun and a few grenades, which isn't going to be enough. But as you rescue hostages, new weapons like rocket launchers, flamethrowers, bouncing shots, Molotov cocktails, and a shotgun are at your disposal. In addition to new weapons, you will also have access to a variety of vehicles including the Super Vehicle-001 mini-tank, Camel Slug, Slug Flyer, and Slugnoid, each packed with special weapons and abilities. The world is counting on you to stop the terrorist threat in Metal Slug X.

5.0 out of 5 stars And people thought 2d was dead...., May 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Metal Slug X (Video Game)

SNK have made many masterpieces, Metal Slug, Metal Slug2, King of Fighters 94-2000, and the Fatal Fury series. None of these games are 3d, why? because SNK obviously believe that beautifully hand drawn, and wonderfully playable games are better than either blocky 3d graphics or all graphics no gameplay games. Metal Slug X is no exception to SNK's line of Metal Slugs. The graphics are absolutely fantastic! I just saw a review saying the graphics are very basic, tjis person has no idea. It's 2d, so what! There is so much detail thrown into the backdrops alone that you could play the game over and over just to see new stuff in the scenery. The characters are also fantastic, they have fluid motion and lots of detail. The enemy soldiers have so many little animations, they knfe/gun/grenade you and then point and laugh until you drop down again with a Machinegun, at which point they scream (with a true look of fear on thier faces) and try to run away. The bosses are massive and truly impressive like the battleship on tank tracks, after destroying the guns the front of the ship opens to reveal a MASSIVE GUN which lauches shells the size of your character! It then EJECTS THE SHELL CASE!

Enough on the graphics, theres great platforming in there too. There's also a variety of vehicles. The tank, the Plane, the Jumping mech thing, and the Camel (used for mowing arabs down in the desert). These coupled with the fast paced gameplay and the chaos on screen make for an awesome game. And if you complete it you'll love the ending.

There's the usual extras too, the art gallery and the extra missions. SO BUY IT, NOW!

After playing the import copy of this game I would just like to let the world know what a fantastic 2d action shooter this game is. If your a fan of great colorful 2d animation, buy Metal Slug, buy it NOW! Not only can you ride in tank and a plane but you get to also ride a camel! A CAMEL!! How messed up is that? Anyways if your a fan of great control, and games that are actually fun, this is for you.

Awesome!

This review is from: Metal Slug X (Video Game)

i own this game for the good ol' neo geo (which didnt catch on cause of its high price) and it was just wicked! the graphics are just like any other 2d scroller but you ask what is so good about this game? well first of all its fast paced 2nd the gameplay!!!!!!!! last but not least, the humor. all these things paked into one game. OH yeah its realistic 2 lets say u shoot some1 they die in one hit! but so do you. this is one game thats worth buying if you dont have the original neo geo version!!! (both exactaly the same)
