Atlus
Announces Metal Slug XX for PSP
One X away from ESRB trouble
Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced
METAL SLUG XX, a side-scrolling, arcade-style, run-and-gun shooter for PSP,
exploding with the same winning formula of over-the-top action and cartoon
mayhem that has kept METAL SLUG a premier franchise for over a decade. Frantic
and fun, serious METAL SLUG fans and casual gamers alike can relive the glory
and charm of old school cooperative arcade play, teaming with a friend via
ad-hoc multiplayer to outrun and outshoot hundreds of enemies and liberate as
many prisoners as possible.
Choose between six zany METAL SLUG
characters and shoot through seven action-packed levels with varying obstacles,
numerous enemies, and diverging paths. Confident players can put their skills to
the test by playing more than 70 mission-based trials in "Combat School." With
its unmistakable style and personality, nostalgic gameplay, more than 70
missions, and the ability to play with a friend, METAL SLUG XX is the definitive
portable METAL SLUG arcade experience.
Consider yourself the ultimate METAL
SLUG fan? Purchase Leona, a seventh playable character with her own unique
abilities, via PlayStation Store for only 99 cents.
METAL SLUG XX is currently scheduled
for release on February 23, 2010 with an MSRP of just $19.99. For more
