Topic: Contra 4

[PFG9000]

Who else is loving this game?  I've only played the first two levels so far, but it's definitely a worthy Contra installment.  The first stage is pure classic Contra goodness.  It starts off kicking your ass from the very beginning, but just like Shattered Soldier and Gradius V, you get better just fast enough to make it enjoyable.

Also:  I had no idea they were putting stackable weapons into this one.  I thought dual machine guns were sweet.  Then I got the dual spread gun.

GO BUY THE GAME

I seriously don't think I've had this much fun with a DS game in a looooooong time.  Kickass music, kickass animations, and a tough game make me so happy.  3 hours in and I've only made it to stage 4.

This is worthy of being Contra 4.  I love it.

Thanks for making this thread, PFG.  Before I read your thread, I had no idea if the game was out since joystiq had a release date of Dec not too long ago and the gamestop site said the 23rd.  So, after lookin at gamefaqs to see if more ppl got the game or if you got some pre release copy, I decided to go check the gamestop I live across from and to my suprised, they had the game, but it was behind the counter; I had to ask for it.  Long story short, I bought the game.  Unforunately, I have two midterms two days in the row next week (before thanksgiving) and my ds is at my folk's place, so I will get to play it on weds.  Thanks for the heads up!

How good is Contra 4 actually from a scale one through ten?

[Steve]

It's easily an eight or a nine.

Does anyone know if a soundtrack is being released for this? Because it's teh rock.

I was skeptical that an outsourced game could really capture the Contra spirit. I game overed on stage 1, and i was like WOW, THIS IS CONTRA.

[PFG9000]

hows the music? Is it as kick ass as it should be.

The music is very much in the same vein as that of the first game.

This game is awesome! The only thing I hate is the upper screen at times. I look at it for a few secs and when I look back at my character I'm already dead.
