When I was growing up in the early 1990's, the so-called Console Wars, basically divided people into two camps. You were either with Team Nintendo, or Team Sega. Most people didn't have the luxury of owning both, and most people didn't play the other company's console, as such a thing was basically unheard of back than. Of course, even if I had owned a Genesis back in the day, I probably couldn't have beaten this game, it is just about the hardest entry in this entire franchise, save for Contra 4 released 14 years after this game! While you have the option of choosing from four different characters, I liked playing the cybernetic werewolf! Even though this game was released at the dawn of Video Game Ratings, this game fully, and completely still earns its T rating to this day! Even on the Easiest mode of Video Game difficulty, this game is still nowhere near easy! If it wasn't for the Rewind feature on the Nintendo Switch, I'm not sure if I ever could've beaten this game! The enemies pretty much never stop coming, you have to watch out for gunfire coming from everywhere, and being able to position yourself in the right spot to avoid the bosses' attack patterns is an absolute must! Thankfully, you can pick up five different weapon options and choose between them, as well as get a couple of bombs to help you out of tight spots! It takes a lot of ingenuity, but the graphics, sound, music, and control are among some of the best the Genesis has to offer, and I highly recommend it to a hard core gamer, who's looking to earn their happy ending! Enough said, true believers!
