hardcore to the extreme max

User Rating: 8.5 | Contra 4 DS
By memphis5280 | Review Date:
This game is probably one of the best non Nintendo made game for the DS period, and it fills a hole (games for people between 14-36) in the DS's lineup. But first things first; this game is HARD.HARD and most people that are not gamers are going to have a really tough time getting into a game of this magnitude. Most gamers that don't remember putting passcodes into games to get their save files are going to have a tough time with this game (What do you mean I can't save????) and even gamers that fill both of those requirements are going to have a tough time with this game.
But the price is worth it, with great level design and weapons this game is probably the best shooter on the DS, and a great reminder of days long gone

Overall-8.9
Graphics-7, it is a real shame that they can't make a game like this in true 3-d
gameplay-9
sound-8, but be prepared for a flashback
control-8
replay value-9
