Contra 4 DS

Post by zodiacprime » Fri Mar 21, 2008 12:13 pm

As a fan of the series I decided to give this one a try. I am a huge fan of Contra III primarily, and loved Hard Corps on the Genesis. What's so cool about this game is that it seems to take the basic concepts of III and smothers the gameplay with elements of Hard Corps. It makes for a very compelling release that once again places Contra among the upper echelon of action games. Its not the best Contra to date, for that I still tip my hat to Contra III, but the developers have left the door wide open to what will hopefully be a great run of sequels. If this game supported Wifi and/or the initially promised 4-player option, then we may have had a new Contra king on the block, but as is, the game feels extremely good and offers lottsa unlockables for continued play. I'd highly recommend this game to anyone who is into some old-skool challenge.

Sounds great! I have always been a Contra fan.

I will definitely pick this one up and give it a shot. It it too bad that they dropped the WiFi option, that would have definitely been a blast.

Thanks for the heads up.
