Amazing!

If you love previous Contra's, 2D platform shooters in general, or a gaming challenge this is the game for you.

I don't think it's as difficult as earlier games in the series, but it's still no pushover on higher difficulty settings (on easy you can't see the whole game anyway).

Item Description

The action franchise that started it all is celebrating its 20th anniversary with an all-new adventure on Nintendo DS! Set after the events of Contra III: Alien Wars, the game follows mercenaries Bill Rizer and Lance Bean as they battle to save the world from a new extraterrestrial threat. Contra 4 takes advantage of the dual screens of the Nintendo DS to deliver larger than life action, with massive enemies, detailed platform gaming and mind-blowing set pieces. Using a variety of upgradable weapons, take the fight to the alien army of the Black Viper and reclaim Earth for mankind in single-player action or 2-player co-op mode.

I don't think it's as difficult as earlier games in the series, but it's still no pushover on higher difficulty settings (on easy you can't see the whole game anyway).

The use of the dual screen requires the player to be more aware of potential dangers from above and below (surely the point eh?), but I feel it's very well implemented.

Finally, when you think it can't get better, you find older games in the series for you to play with ;)
