Contra 4 (2007)

User Rating: 8 | Contra 4 DS

8.0. It satisfies a niche and then some. While most of the boss fights aren't exactly difficult, this game just may hand you your ass at times (be it setpiece or enemy onslaught in sheer numbers) even when you know what to expect since it's that hardcore and ruthless, though some parts in the second half after the harbor show some lenience (and then the finale in the harvest yard ditches that concept entirely). Only serious aficionados of Contra or other similar genre offerings like Metal Slug need apply.
