Now THIS is how you do a sequel. While I'm not entirely sure what happened with Metal Slug 2's development, I appreciated that the developers decided to remake it with a new engine they built for Metal Slug 3, and that's how you got Metal Slug X!
Compared to the original version, Metal Slug X has new enemy types, new weapon types, more dynamic confrontations with remixed enemy/weapon/vehicle spawns, and--most importantly--much more responsive gameplay that doesn't slow down nearly as much.
All-in-all, this is the most defining game in the Metal Slug series, but of course it wouldn't be until the next game that we'd receive run-n-gun arcade perfection . . .
