Contra…You have fun! You shoot things, You blow stuff up, You almost destroy your DS….

User Rating: 8.5 | Contra 4 DS
Ah..nothing like FRESH AGGRAVATION!

Contra is a really great, addicting, relentless, and overall challenging game. The object is simple. Make it all the way to the right side of the screen without getting hit. You get about 10 lives, 1 hit kills. It's a very hard game just by itself. There are two different games you can unlock (Super C, Original Contra) So in total there are three games: Contra 4, Contra, Super C. There is also a selection of about 6 or 7 characters, which don't really have different attributes. This game also features lots of artwork you can unlock by playing Challenge Mode. The gameplay is pretty solid. There are several guns to use from flames to lasers.
There really isn't much to say….basically all that you have is a bunch of levels with hordes of insane enemies, one to three unforgiving bosses on a level and the 10 lives which should only get you about halfway through if you try your absolute hardest, plus 3 continues.
There really isn't much else I can say. Two soldiers fighting aliens and other soldiers, giant monsters, tiny monsters, you get the picture. It's an incredibly frustrating game that will make you cry and laugh, and want you snap your DS's screens in half, but you'll be playing it for hours upon hours almost nonstop.
Take it from me, and a lot of other people. This game is definitely worth a buy. You'll laugh, cry, go on a rampage across your own house, etc. It really is fun….BUT MAN!!! I AM GONNA DESTROY THIS DS!!!

Konami was at some E3 once upon a time, and they got questioned about having a 3D based game and not a side scrolller …
To that they said "Its time for revenge….Let's attack aggressively"
(I probably messed up that quote) ☺
