Ironhawk's Review

Graphics: 10    Is this the 32X?  Konami really did a good job using the puny hardware of the Genesis to make a great-looking game.

Sound: 9          Sounds like how you'd expect a Contra game to sound.

Playability: 8     And plays like all Contra games play.  The fact that you can only shoot in 8 directions is pretty annoying these days, with all of the analog control sticks on every modern system.

Concept: 5        "Let's make another Contra game."  Well at least it has a wolf-man named "FANG" in it.

Retro Value: 9   One of the best, if not the best 16 bit Contra.  If you own it, keep it.

Overall: 9           Japan only?  Noooo....   Maybe we'll get a compilation pack that includes this awesome game.   Please?


Nightowl's Review

Graphics: 10    Beautiful... just beautiful. Vibrant colors and zero slow down=10!

Sound: 10    Techno beats fit the fast-paced situations perfectly. And the sound effects are loud and always around you.

Playability: 6    It's Contra, so you can't ask for much. Jumping makes you feel like you're on Jupiter instead of earth.

Concept: 10    Heck yeah! Contra with even more explosions then the last! And you say I have a life meter now? Great googoly moogaly!

Retro Value: 9    Download it... you can find it anywhere on the internet. And marry this game too while you're at it.

Overall: 10    Best Contra game ever... period.
