Advantages: Decent blaster

Disadvantages: Difficult after a while

To describe this game as an Adventure Roleplay I feel would be kind of inaccurate, Contra has way too much action involved to describe it as roleplaying. In fact if I was to describe it in short term i'd say Blaster-Shoot-em-Up. And a damn good one at that. Contra was a game that I first seen on the NES and it's made its way through Generations of console with changes to each apaptation. In an Old School style the game blasts you through level after level sticking to a pretty good storyline along the way.

Graphics - Yeah it looks pretty good , the fire looks real nice but the game suffers a little bit of slow down through the busy sequences with alot of explosions. To be expect from a game of this era though. 6 out of 10

Gameplay - Pretty good, utilizes nearly all the buttons on the pad with various moves and attacks, the first level explains the gameplay pretty well too. 6 out of 10

Sound - Raring rock riffs galore as you blast your way through hell, sure they aren't licensed but compared to most games this is quite refreshing. 6 out of 10

Longevity - After the first few levels it gets tough, at that point you'll know wether you like it enough to gut it out or chuck it out, could go either way though dpeending on the gamer. 5 out of 10

Overall - It's a prety good blaster game, doesn't live up to the cult Contra name thatt he NES version and SNES version garnered however. 6 out of 10

Summary: Pretty above average blaster
