Not bad. It's frustaratingly old-school hard though.

Not as good as I was expecting.

I'll still pick it up though.

Right on that's a pretty good score. I've always been a fan of the Contra games and Alien Wars is my favourite so it's very cool to see a direct sequel like this. These games have always been about the bosses, the difficulty, and the crazy action like riding atop missiles and such so I'm happy all these things seem to be intact.

Looking forward to picking this up. I'd love to see Konami start working on a console Contra now. My mind boggles at what it could possibly be like on these powerful new systems.
