This is the best game on Nintendo DS, hands down. I love this game! It is challenging, fun, and an all-around exciting experience. I wish I could reach the ending though!

For those who are not familiar with the Contra series, it is a platform shooter which began as an arcade series and made it’s way unto the NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, and now the DS. This is the 4th version of Contra, but it is worthy to be called the “true sequel” to Treasure’s Contra III: The Alien Wars.The game is very similar to many of the Contra games in the past, for instance the 1st stage is almost an exact replica of the 1st stage from Contra I, and there are many other stages that are heavily borrowed from other games as well (most notably Contra I, Super C, and Contra III). This is not a bad thing at all mind you and for those who think that taking ideas from older games is a step back in development does not know about how the series took a major fall ever since Contra III.This game is not easy and that’s how Contra games are supposed to be played. There are 3 modes of game play: Easy, Normal and Hard. On easy you get 5 continues and 10 lives, on Normal you get 3 continues and 5 lives and so on (the game is very difficult so if you never had any experience with any Contra games, be prepared to lose a lot of lives on the 1st stage). The game includes 6 power ups which are: Machine Gun, Spread Gun, C Cannon/Blast, Homing Missiles, Fire and Laser. You are allowed to have 2 different weapons (which can be switched with the ‘L’ button) and the weapons can be powered by twice (normal and hard mode), otherwise if you are playing on Easy, the weapon is powered to.

As a fan of the original NES version, I had high hopes for this game. I haven’t really been to impressed with most of the arcade-style games for the DS. This one is just as much fun as the original (which is included as an unlockable bonus). It has Easy, Medium, and Hard play levels. The medium level is roughly the same difficulty as the original. The hard level is pretty difficult. There is also an unlockable “Challenge Mode” which requires you to perform specific tasks.

Perfect game, like in the early 1990’s

Konami’s legendary Contra series makes it’s debut on the DS in all it’s old school, arcade shoot ’em up action glory. Proving that the series is best in the realm of 2-D, Contra 4 is a throwback to the glory days of the original arcade game and the 8 and 16-bit era of gaming, as it provides huge levels, insane weapons, and unnerving difficulty. The game’s grueling levels are spread about using both of the DS’ screens, as enemies come at you from all sides. This alone makes Contra 4 worth checking out, and only adds to the game’s difficulty, which even on Easy mode, is provides quite a bit of challenge. The controls are dead-on, the level designs are flawless, and the boss battles are epic; all of which adds up to one of the best action games to hit the DS yet. There are extras included as well to celebrate the Contra series’ 20th Anniversary, including a Museum that reflects the series’ run on consoles over the years, and an interesting Challenge mode that once completed, can unlock the NES versions of Contra and Super C. The only downside to Contra 4 is what has already been said: the difficulty. The difficulty may be a turn-off for new age gamers who didn’t grow up with the Contra series, but for the rest of us who did, Contra 4 is a sheer blast.

Super Fun

Contra 4 is cool because it’s new but it plays like the old school way. The guns are pretty sick to, and the bosses are unbelievable great. You can work you way to unlock really nice stuff like classic contra and super c, and really nice artwork. I really like the history thing they have where they show you all the contra games they have made in the past and tells you about them.
