This Review is based off the 2019 Collection Version of the game
Contra is back and better than ever in this alien blasting sequel, This is just Contra but improved in every way.
I remember playing this with my sister on a cool summer night and absolutely kicking alien ass. The game itself has aged as well as a NES game can, with visuals that work, music that rocks, power ups that rip through enemies, and unfair difficulty. I tried to get through this without using the added save state feature in the collection but the final level forced me to use it out of frustration. Damn fine game and a worthy sequel to arguably the best run and gun game of its era.
