Also, sort of like how they fucked up the prisoners by making them more awesome. The laser is a very simple weapon: just point at what you want dead, and it dies. Hell, I'd end this blog with a whale eating it, but Giant Bomb's multiple background colors would certainly fuck that up. I wish I could think of something that awesome. That may not sound like much, but trust me, it makes after you win a boss fight in the final level, a whale eats the corpse of your defeated foe, for no reason. (I didn't need to say it, but I like to go above and beyond, even though I never really 100% any of the games I play.) For example, every soldier you shoot lets out an oddly satisfying death scream when you tear them in two with your gun. Needless to say, this game has a weird, over the top sense of humor. Unfortunately, they seem to be good at it, too, since they take the last villain and shove things up his butt while simultaneously surrounding you with what is essentially a death rave. Somehow, this approach eventually works: you find yourself in the sewers, shooting at aliens and zombie things (they may be aliens it's hard to tell, since story isn't a priority for this game), and then find out that aliens plan to take over the Earth.
Why are you firing enough bullets to make Rambo look extremely left-wing by comparison? Who the fuck cares? Metal Slug X's approach to story is to shoot stuff until the story catches up. Each level drops you into a random country, and your job is to kill everything in it. How the hell do I describe Metal Slug X?.I'd probably go with "pure." I'm not saying that it's a virgin or anything (we all know Metal Slug X is a dirty, dirty slut), but that it's purely dedicated to one thing: shooting. Then again again again, let's just get on with the damn blog. Then again again, it's awesome enough to get away with being ridiculously short. Then again, the game's short as hell, only having six levels and not much reason to go through them again (there aren't any branching paths, and all the very ugly characters play exactly the same). Metal Slug X ( Holy shit, three games left, and I'm actually going pretty fast.) Hell, I was able to beat this game in a day, which I don't remember doing when I originally played Metal Slug X on the Neo Geo.emulator I got working a little while back.
