Super Contra

By Sandor Hugert

This game is basically just as good as the first Contra.  It’s still a really fun 2D game, and even more enjoyable when you play with a friend in cooperative mode.  The weapons are really awesome in this game and way better than in the first one.  I guess the levels are better done, but it’s still not that different.  There are levels that are presented in a bird eye view, which doesn’t work that well in Super Contra.  The only bad thing about the game is just how difficult it is.  It’s almost impossible to beat the second level even with a friend, I guess it’s a plus that there are only five levels when you look at it from a difficulty perspective.  The game is still worth five dollars on the XBOX 360 Arcade, so just buy it or at least download a free trial of it because it’s still pretty fun.

Score:  7 out of 10
