I've already reviewed Metal Slug 2, so go check that one out!
All that's actually different between 2 and X are the weapons and the slugs... In the train mission, you now have a choice between the aircraft or the golden tank... The Golden tank does look fancy, but the aircraft is still much better against the SpiderMachine boss of the same mission. You also get a Super Grenade from Metal Slug 3 in the metro level... Other than that, the games are actually THE SAME.
One difference I'll always remember is how they swapped the bowling mummies now with insect barfing ones that are not only annoying but cringeworthy... At least a mummy that throws up a bowling ball is original. Metal Slug X is the the least favourite Metal Slug game for me, for that it gets a 6/10
, it's unoriginal, uninspired and much less forgiving than Metal Slug 2: which I love, to hell and back.
