Game: Metal Slug X
Platform: ps,psp,pc and arcade (quite a lot of plaform)
Developer: SNK
What is it?
It is a highly action packed game whereby player has to constantly killing enemies and awaiting for more new enemies(monsters, soldiers, aircrafts etc) to appear to fight on. It is a play which requires lots of skills to control the character. In the game, player can choose one to use from the 4 characters(Marco,Tarma,Eri and Fion) at the start of the game. Personally i like to use Tarma as my character.There is no special difference in power of each character. Just that they are each unique personality and they will do unique animation in the game. For Tarma, this character will always smoke (which is cute) as it will smoke even it is half way fighting monster.
What i like ?
-Interaction
It is a highly action packed game whereby player has to constantly killing enemies and awaiting for more new enemies(monsters, soldiers, aircrafts etc) to appear to fight on. Animation is used effectively to show the interaction between the player and the enemies. For example, soldiers / monsters/ aircrafts are effectively animated to show that they are being hit/ destroy by the player to give a better user feedback to the player. Thus, effective animation is used to enhance the interaction between the player and the enemies.
In addition, player can find and obtain weaponry upgrades/ machines/ transport throughout the game whereby they can use these special items to fight against the enemies. Great variety of items (weaponry upgrades/ machines/ transport) can be pick up by the players make the game a more interesting one as player can use these items and see how it benefits them. Thus the collectables makes this game into a more explorative game whereby player will play the game in order to explore new weaponry items.

-Challenging level
It is a game which requires great control of the character in order to finish the whole game with the given life given. The placement of the enemies is carefully though of whereby there will be a spur of enemies charging at the player at certain time of the game. This poses a challenge for the player to be able to fight against the enemies and be able to break through this chaos. In addition, the player will meet different unique boss at the end of each mission (stage). Player then has to figure out how to beat the boss and at the same time avoid the endless and merciless attacks by the boss. In this game, it requires good coordination of the hand and eye of the player in order to win this game. Thus, this game is highly addictively as players will aim to win this highly challenging game.

-Competition
This game can either be player individually or in pairs. Players can work together to fight against the enemies by cooperating seamlessly in their movements. At the same time, players can complete with each other in this game. For example, Players can complete with the number of the POW (Prisoner of war) they can rescued in each mission. Scores will be given to both players based on the number of the POW they had rescued and the lives the players had left at the end of each mission. Thus competition pushes players to complete with each other and it urges them to continue playing the game in order to win one another.

Platform wise?
The first time i played this game is on a pc.Personally i do not like playing it on a pc as i find it quite hard to control the keys movement. I feel this kind of action packed game should be played on joss stick(controller). Perhaps it is due to the arrangement of the keys on the joss controller that make it more comfortable to control.
Life Limit?
I play another metal slug series on a ps and one can choose the life limit to UNLIMITED.

YES!!! This game is seriously VERY hard and challenging. If you want to complete this game, either you have very good skills( limited life) OR you have unlimited life where you can heck-care shotting the enemies and heck-care being dying. The acrade has this game and one REALLY have to spend a lot ot money to complete this game (someone like me). Though this game is highly hard, i find this game addictive and will play it again and again( in a unlimited life mode,of course).
