What Gamespot Users have to say about Contra: Shattered Soldier

  • Rating:8.3

    Contra is still strong, maybe too strong.

    I loved the original Contra game from the arcade. When it came out on the NES I was addicted to the game. I went on to play the sequel and the sequel after that but no game has justified the old shoot em up game like t... Read Full Review

    Short, Challenging, and Classic Contra

    This game is classic contra. It is filled with arcade style shoot ‘em up action. Fans of the classic contra will not be disappointed with this one. Although the music is somewhat forgettable, the side scrolling style ... Read Full Review

    Fun, yet hard!

    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... Read Full Review

    Fans rejoice.. but proceed with caution.

    There isn't a whole lot to say about this game... I LOVED the original Contra, and to be honest, this does capture somewhat of the same feel... but this game seriously lacks substance. Remember all those pickups that ... Read Full Review

    Truely an amazing side scroller.

    Contra is a classic game. Super C was an awesome one as well. The Alien Wars was amazing...and then came the Playstation. But it looks like Konami has redeemed the series. Run N Gun is definitely present here with loads ... Read Full Review

    Trash of the highest order

    15 years on and the same formula of gameplay is squeezed to death. Contra III was a classic and this gives the series a bad name. Admittedly the graphics are ok and the sountrack contains some fast paced dance but it is ... Read Full Review

    Shattered Soldier is a good reminder of the classics from the past, although people will be disappointed with the value.

    Gameplay: I mean this, Contra: Shattered Soldier is without the shadow of the doubt the most difficult game you will ever play for the Playstation 2. All got to say is this, you better be prepare to die, a lot. You have... Read Full Review

    Contra: Shattered Soldier adds new school graphics to an old school game. Old school fans should play, or buy this game.

    Contra: Shattered Soldier is a great Old-School game. The graphics and sounds are done really good. The gameplay is basic, but hard. The storyline continues the storyline's from the previous Contra games. Old-School fans... Read Full Review

    It's because of all that flash that makes the game SO entertaining.

    Sometimes, gameplay isn't necessary to make a good game. I know plenty of them that sport excellent gameplay which is the highlight, with some scripted sequences that end up being memorable moments. Contra: Shattered Sol... Read Full Review
