Metal Slug Review (𝒜𝓏𝒶𝒾𝒦𝒶𝓃𝑔)
All you need to do to fix the game is.
1. Go to your MSXX Steam folder and Change the .exe properties to run the game as Windows 8 Compatible. DON'T RUN this game as an Administrator.
2. Use an Xbox Controller, if you don't have one. Use XOutput to emulate your controller into Xinput. Or Xpadder to emulate it into keyboard layout. After that, turn OFF Steam Input
3. Speaking of keyboard layout. There doesn't seem to be any issue. Map it on the launcher.

Why Metal Slug XX is 7/10?
- Well, its a PC port of the PSP version. The port is terrible because there are bunch bugs that prevent everyone from playing it. I recommend SNK to do something about this, but since its a VERY old game, I don't think SNK will do anything.
- Gameplay design is average compare to the other Metal Slug games. Still a better game than MS5 (Even though my favorite game is MS5 lol)
- Settings Menu runs at the very terrible 3-5 FPS
- Amazing cast, especially Leona with her amazing Knife skill.
- Short but reasonable.
- Few variation of enemies compare to other MS games.
- After fixing the game's bugs. It's completely playable.
- Just enjoy the game, if its suck. It suck. Don't expect Metal Slug 3 quality on this entry.
