average due to massive input lag

as an arcade Metal Slug veteran I want to complain about horrendous input lag and this game requires incredible reflex, also can't see option to reconfigure xbox 360 controller I am using (on Mac)

Not worth it...

The game is awesome but the port is complete garbage. Fps slowdowns are ridiculous and constant. In this day and age for this kind of old game this shouldn't even be an issue. Unless you like playing at 15-20 fps don't buy this or any other of the metal slug ports untill the issue has been fixed.

METAL SLUG

This is the first time I've ever played metal slug I've been wanting to play this for several years it didn't NOT disappoint.. If you've ever seen the movie "Hot shots: part Deux" that what it reminded me of, I couldn't stop laughing the whole time.. It was fun and straight to the point. For what it is its very short but very fun. Controls are easily manageable it's a plug and play all you need is a controller plugged in on start up you can manage controls from settings, very simple. Its very much an arcade type game like in the 90's or 80's if this is your first time playing I highly recommend it...
