MORE ARCADE ACTION: This is one of the best "ports" from the arcade ever - bring all the action home! MORE ENEMIES: Team up with a friend for 2-player combat missions where only the strongest survive!

MORE WEAPONS: Arm yourself with the Metal Slug Tank, the Slugnoid, the Flying Slug, and the Camel Slug!

In Metal Slug X, you'll chose from four tough-as-nails soldiers ready for missions that only the best could survive. Swarms of enemies will attack you at once, and each level features a boss character that can take up half the screen in size. Locations range from Egyptian pyramids to underground bases as you advance through the game's five stages. Also available to players are four "slugs," vehicles that can be stolen and used against the enemy, including tanks, jets, robotic-suits and even camels. Weapons include pistols, machine guns, lasers and grenades. Along the way, you can rescue hostages to earn points and acquire new weapon power-ups. Choose from four characters, two male and two female, as you move from left to right trying to destroy everything in your path. Otherwise, it's a great rental that will find you blowing through both games in about an hour due to unlimited continues.The third title in SNK's Metal Slug series, Metal Slug X for the PlayStation is a port of the 1999 coin-op game, which itself was an enhanced version of Metal Slug 2. If you want some old-school shooter action that requires lightning quick reflexes and takes weeks to master then this game is for you. And there's no life bar you die if you get hit even once. At any moment there are dozens of enemies on the screen, all firing at you from every direction. With Metal Slug 4 and 5, that could be a near-impossible task. As impossible as that may sound, I eventually accomplished that feat on Metal Slug Advance. After my thirtieth time playing it I realized what Metal Slug really is: a trial-and-error fest that you play again and again until you can run through each level without dying even once. At first I thought it was a simple run-and-gun game that was way too short.
