Super C continues to be as manly as the original Contra, now having more detailed backgrounds and an even bigger alien envasion than last time!
To start off with the new stuff, instead of the previous game's "3D" stages, we got overhead stages and I prefer these way more than Contra's "3D" stages. The only problem is you can't duck or jump in these, so the only way to defend yourself is to shoot everything and hope that you don't die.
Outside of that, the gameplay is pretty much the same as the original, and I really like the new environments and how much you start to see the Aliens' presence in the stages more and more as you go through.
However, I think this game doesn't emphasize platforming as much as the original. Don't get me wrong, it's still very much there, but there were some levels that barely had it, if at all. Area 3 immediatedly comes to mind.
Overall, Super C improves on some things from the original but has a few snags that could improved. A solid sequel, nonetheless.
