X isn't unplayable, it runs way better than 2 does.

Tell that to poor young D_R who got completely stuck at the arcades in the middle of blasting his way through stage 4(or maybe 5).

All enemies dead, but the screen wouldn't move. I was basically stuck in limbo with nothing to do but die by time out. Game over-ing and putting in more quarters didn't help; only made that mistake once.

That time, the owner was at least a nice enough guy to return my two quarters. Too bad for the dozen I spent getting there though!

That wasn't a single occurrence either. Happened several times afterwards. Most often on stage 2, and ONLY with X. Never with any of the others.

So, no, I'm never anointing X the best of anything. Those experiences tarnished my view of it incontrovertibly.

I'd even dare call it the worst of the whole bunch if it weren't for 4 being a phoned-in low-effort self-plagiarized mess, and 5 being an unwelcome tonal shift with an unnecessary, stupid sliding move.
