A fun, action-packed Contra game with some pros and cons. There's multiple routes you can take, different playable characters, a killer soundtrack, and more. The downside is that this game is more trial-and-error based than the previous titles, which can get pretty annoying. There's also no easy mode or Konami code to ease you into it. The game should have used the six-button controller in some way, it would have made gameplay better.
