IGN: Metal Slug XX Review

Metal Slug XX isn’t necessarily cheap. At $15, you only get seven stages. Sure, you can stretch the experience with co-op play or limiting your continues, but this is an arcade game at heart – longevity is supposed to come from repeat plays. But the Metal Slug experience is getting a bit creaky; too much repetition in the action and too few new ideas. That makes it difficult to excitedly get through a single run much less three or four.
