Truely an amazing side scroller.
I like the weapons here. All 3 have their own unique use for a situation which i think is totally cool because it makes it seem like the machine gun isn't the only weapon that needs to be used. Although it would have been good to see different weapons for both characters, it is still awesome to see (we've seen that in Legacy of War...i'm scarred for life). Did i mention the action and explosions?
If you love Contra or even side-scrollers, then get this one. No matter how impossible it may seem for people to get, it's possible to get both endings. That's right, TWO endings. I know it isn't what a lot of fans of the series expected, but give Konami a break! They've been making crap Contras for a few years and now they've come out with something that resembles the original a little bit more. Now if they can just do the same for Castlevania...
