Fun, yet hard!

User Rating: 8.8 | Contra: Shattered Soldier PS2
Contra: Shattered Soldier is a nice game that follows the
orginal Contra pretty darn close.

This game is pretty difficult, so if you like to have a
challenge, buy this game immediately.

One thing different than the old Contra, is that you
always have 3 guns with 2 functions. You don't
get the blimp looking powerups like in the old
days.

There is a machine gun, flamethrower, and a
gernade launcher like weapon. Sorry, the spread
gun isn't in this game. That's a huge downer for
me personally.

Other than that, it takes awhile to get used to the
pattern of each level, but it's pretty downhill from there.

Rent it first, see if you want it, cause it is a short game,
but hard.
