This is just fun, pure and simple. I love being able to just play some casual Contra online if I fancy it so. This game is classic Contra down to the two-button mash. Play this game to blow of some steam and get all nostalgic. The thing that is great about this game is the fact that it has stayed true to the classic Contra formula. It seems some games tend to eschew the classic style of gameplay (hard as hell, unforgiving and frustrating to the point of pulling out hair) and will just give up on actually creating any sort of challenge for the players. Well, Contra is the same stress inducing game that it has always been (man this game has really made me mad in the past, but, I love it!). If you want a challenge, you've come to the right place.

Learning Curve: Instant!
