The ultimate 2D run-n-gun! Contra III takes the standards that the NES titles set, and destroys them with its updated visuals, faster-paced action, and insane scenarios!

The controls feel excellent, the music is awesome as well as fitting for each stage, and the bosses are a sight to behold! The only thing slightly holding it back are the overhead stages showing off SNES' "mode-7" faux-3D capabilities, but they don't last too long as it is. A badass and tough-as-nails run-n-gun game!
