 Punishing 2-d action...just how I like it!, December 16, 2008

This is your typical Contra game albeit witha much harder difficulty! I played this for numerous hours and I have to say....Konami has truely stayed faithful to the tried and true formula of run and gun. Be warned weary "save" gamers: This game is total old school and you only get continues..and not many at that.
Thank you amazon!

This game is hard. Of course what Contra isn't. Its what we buy these games for. The blistering difficulty, tight controls and multi-player matches. This game took every Contra game out there and perfected it. New additions in-game are the ability to upgrade weapons on the fly and a cool new grapple that has you shooting up the two DS screens on the fly. The grapple gun takes some getting used to for old school Contra fans along with the duel screens but once you get used to it, it becomes second nature. The difficulty is ramped WAY up. Even on Easy mode it took me a couple of times to beat it to unlock the new Challenge mode. This is a series of 40 test your skills games to unlock classic Contra games and characters. Ive really enjoyed these alot and the two classic Contra games on the cartridge is just awesome. This game will test your skills to the limit. Its great to see developers starting to cater to us hardcore audience. For any fans of the Conta series or anyone just wanting to see what games were like back in the day this is a MUST BUY.

A classic Game, October 16, 2008

Contra... Ahh who doesen't remeber that game for the Nintendo 8 bit??
I remeber playing that game every so often, but only as a rental, since I could never seem to find the game in any shelves at the time. I remeber playing it with my brothers, and was having a great time..
Now Contra 4 is here, and boy does it bring back old memories. I still remeber how hard Contra was for the NES, and I think that Contra 4 lives up to that, if not even surpassing it.
Having come straight from playing the excellent Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on PS 3, it was a real kick to the groin when I died in one hit in this game, no Force powers to save my behind here. Contra 4 is hard as nails, even in easy mode, but that's the way Contra games are..
Now for the short review:
Graphics: 7/10 It's not the best looking DS game ever, but it's more than good enough, seeing this game is a side-scroller, just like the Super Mario games of old are.
Sound/music: 8/10 Good sound effects, and a nice soundtrack that does this game justice.
Gameplay: 7/10 The game is fun to play, but I do think it's to hard, even on easy mode, so they should have been a bit more easy going on that mode.
Overall: 7/10 This game is a classic, and deserves to be in any serious DS game owners library. The only downside with this game is that there's no option to save you progress, wich I think they could have added, since the game is so hard, and it's no fun starting from level 1 every time you want to play...
Other than that, I would really recommend this game, and it's a must have I any serious gamers library.
