Metal Slug X

"Amazing! The best SNK game ever."

Hi. I really didn't know what SNK or Metal Slug was before I was 9. Once I played it I was like kicking the arcade machine till quarters popped out. I was so addicted. I sat there in an ice rink arcade wasting quarters at my own expense. I loved this game. I never truly beat it though.
I got into metal slug a lot and then last year I walked to my friend's house and he says ''This game is great you gotta play it'' So I borrow it from him for 3 days. I turned on my PSX and almost fainted while playing. I was amazed at the mini-games and different various missions. I stayed up all night playing it. The gameplay was good the sound good the graphics well. Ya see I really don't care about graphics. I'm not saying that this game has bad graphics either. But everyone says they weren't all great. I loved em cause the guys looked all cool. I would give the graphics 7 or 8 out of 10. Atleast they aren't bitmap images like pac-man.
Another great thing is the addictivity (not a real word) of it. It's fun and you get 2 player. I beat the came with only 2 characters cause the girls are dumb. but then I tried 2 player mode with my brother beating it different various ways. That made it fun because there was always a new challenge. The unlimited continues may lower the level of FUN a bit but hey are you gonna stuff quarters up a memory card slot?
While playing I examined other ratings on the computer and FAQs. They are all really good as I saw. If the ratings are good that means you should most liking buy it. And if you get stuck on a part and need help well the faqs are packed with info.
Also I think you should rent the first 2 before playing this. Its almost like a series. But better! I gave this 10/10. You should buy it. You'll love your friends will your brothers and sisters will. If you like shooting games you'll like this.You get pretty good guns in this game. Heavy machine gun, shotgun(good for killing lots of mummies),lasers,rocket launchers. I mean what more could you need?You also get grenades.
Basically,what I'm trying to say is BUY IT NOW! Not kiding! BUY IT NOW!
