Refining the 2D side-scrolling genre the series established 20 years ago, Contra 4 delivers pure action at a fever pitch as players jump, shoot, and dodge oncoming hazards. Utilizing a new dual screen presentation, the action spans both screens of the Nintendo DS, giving players the opportunity to battle across expansive environments in which death can come from any direction. The use of both screens for the game’s core action also allows for massive boss battles as players try to seek and destroy the weak points of sky-high enemies. A first for the series, Contra 4 introduces a grappling hook accessory that lets players grab onto elements of the environment directly above them. Whether using it to avoid oncoming dangers or attack from a strategic vantage point, the grappling hook allows for new combat situations and dramatic set pieces that underscore the game’s adrenaline-soaked pedigree.

The sound effects are good , but the musics better. Once you beat the game you can go back and play it again which is even better than the first time you played. Back to the difficulty there are three dif...[More]


Awesome game for DS

I've been playing Contra since I was, I think, 7 years old. The first one I've played was Super C, actually. When I picked up this game for my DS, it was nice to return to the classic style of a 2D side-scrolling run-and-gun game. Too bad I misplaced the game, so I have to buy it again. Anyways, great graphics, great soundtrack, great difficulty setting to actually enjoy Contra, and it's still mul...[More]


One of the best DS games so far
By: a-dog    Favorite Category: Action    Date: Friday, Jun 13, 2008
I had never played a Contra game before, because i had never heard of it. I saw in Game Informer that it was one of only two or three DS games that they ranked in the top 50 games of E3. Then i saw the review and it got a 9.25 out of 10 (also in Game Informer) so i decided to give it a try. I'm not usually in to shooting games, but this was easily one of the most fun games i have ever played. It's...[More]

Contra 4 Review
It's mean, it's intense, it's difficult, and it's a raucous good time. In a nutshell, it's Contra.
