Best Version: Game Boy
— This section contains spoilers! —
Good
- The game has decent graphics and sound.
- There is a good amount of variety among the enemies, bosses, and level design.
- In the brief time you have, the game presents a tough challenge, even for someone skilled in Contra games.
- I really like the new homing gun, and was pleased that they dropped the laser gun.
Bad
- With only 5 levels, the game is pretty short.
- Some of the music is reused from the NES games without even attempting to remix it.
- The final boss (after defeating the guardian) is extremely dull.
- The Japanese and European releases didn't give the game a new title.
Ugly
- Although there isn't anything really wrong with the game, it's kind of weak. It's basically just an inferior Contra title. It plays more like a lower-quality port than a new game.
Media
Box Art
The original Japanese art appears to be taken from a still of Schwarzenegger from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The alien backdrop is good, but the white foreground makes it look more like a flowery border!
This is a nice scene from Area 5. Lots of action and danger really shows what the game is about. This is my favorite art.
The European box shamelessly uses the same art and title as the NES release of Contra, even though the game is entirely different.
