The third title in SNK's Metal Slug series, Metal Slug X for the PlayStation is a port of the 1999 coin-op game, which itself was an enhanced version of Metal Slug 2. Choose from four characters, two male and two female, as you move from left to right trying to destroy everything in your path. Along the way, you can rescue hostages to earn points and acquire new weapon power-ups.
Weapons include pistols, machine guns, lasers and grenades. Also available to players are four "slugs," vehicles that can be stolen and used against the enemy, including tanks, jets, robotic-suits and even camels. Locations range from Egyptian pyramids to underground bases as you advance through the game's five stages. Swarms of enemies will attack you at once, and each level features a boss character that can take up half the screen in size. Two players can progress through the game simultaneously, just as in the arcade.
