Contra 4 for the Nintendo DS is not what most would call a casual game. The challenge in this game ramps up quickly and never lets up. If you want a fun arcade like game, or enjoyed the older Contra games from back in the day you will LOVE this game. If you however get angry at dying from one hit and losing all your weapons… then you might want to pass. Besides the main game which makes good use of the dual screens and keeps you on your toes, you also have alot of unlockable content to keep things fresh for a long time.I would recommend this game to anyone with a DS that likes a little challenge in their games.

This game plays just like a Contra NES and SNES hybrid. It’s run n gun in the finest.Plus it has two bonus games. It’s three games for the price of one…

This is a great DS title for people who want to play a classic Contra Title. Both the Original Contra and Super C are un-lockable in this game. I played this game for hours when I first got it and let me tell you it is not an easy game. This game will take practice to master but it is well worth it.

CONTRA – Old school
BX Lounger –
Konami took a huge gamble with this game. Instead of developing the game themselves, it passed off the opportunity to a then unknown third party studio named Wayforward. Then, Contra 4 was released on the Nintendo DS in 2007 just in time for the 20th anniversary of Contra. Believe me when I saw Wayforward did an excellent job of keeping old school Contra alive and modernizing it for today’s modern gaming.Contra 4 is all about blasting aliens and that’s it. Choose a difficulty level, then pick one out of 4 characters and you’re off to take on 9 stages. Beating the game on all difficulty levels and completing the challenge mode scenario missions, you unlock all kinds of bonus content (gallery, interviews, NES oldies Contra & Super C, etc.)Convince your friend who has a DS to buy this game and the both of you can play together with 2 player support.The PROS: This is classic Contra action with upgraded graphics and music with elements from previous Contra titles mixed in and it works perfectly. Get ready to shoot everything and anything in sight while having fun as well. The controls work fine so you will get into it quickly. Going the extra mile to complete everything in the game really pays off with the bonus content. Unlocking the original NES Contra and NES Super C means you can play them anytime. The gallery and museum really give you an accurate perspective of the entire series with a little background information for each title as well. And of course, there are secret cha.

Publisher Konami and developer WayForward did a great job of making this game feel like a natural sequel to Contra III. From familiar sound effects and familiar weapons to bosses and level design reminiscent of previous Contra games, Contra 4 will put you right back the Contra mindset.The game comes packed with a ton of content. In addition to Arcade Mode, which is the standard Contra game, there are 40 challenges (unlockable by beating arcade mode on any difficulty setting) where a player must do things like maintain a certain accuracy or fire no shots for a portion of a level. Finishing a certain number of challenges unlocks the original NES Contra and Super C for play as well, although the emulation quality of these isn’t so great. There are several other additional unlockable features like an interview with the series creator and additional characters to play as.The game feels most like Contra III, in that the levels are very detailed and there are several great “set pieces.” It also borrows Contra III’s weapon switching system. It adds weapon upgrading, where obtaining the same weapon twice makes it stronger. It also adds two screen play. Action takes place on both screens, so a player must pay attention to both at once. This can be annoying as the spot where the hinge on the DS is creates a blind spot, though doing that is certainly better than ignoring the hinge area entirely and having players be unable to correctly judge how projectiles will move between the screens..

Excellent Contra game, my favorite in the franchise with lots of game action and content.

For the past 15 years my favorite Contra game has been Contra III: The Alien Wars for Super Nintendo. In all that time it seemed that Konami couldn’t make a Contra game to equal the great Contra III. Well, it’s finally happened. Contra 4 equals and at times even surpasses its predecessor in every way. Contra 4 is set in 2638, two years after the events of Contra III because, it turns out, the alien invasion of Contra III was merely the first wave. Bill Rizer and Lance Bean make their return as earth’s last hope, and the DS lets you play with a friend if they also own the Contra 4 game card. I wouldn’t say it’s necessary to have a friend to enjoy Contra 4, as I played through the entire game by myself and had a blast. Unlike Contra III which had a couple of missions played from the top-down viewpoint, Contra 4 returns to the 3D corridor missions with the behind-the-player viewpoint from the original NES games. These missions are a LOT of fun and I enjoy them more than Contra III’s overhead missions. Contra 4 features the same kind of 80’s action movie music and enormous bosses, only this time the bosses stretch to twice the normal size into the second screen. New to the Contra series is the grappling hook which carries you into the top screen, and the addition of a second screen means there are twice as many aliens shooting at you but there’s also twice as much room for you to move around in. It’s a great next step for the series, but this game is not for everyone. I re.
