The game wonderfullly captures the feel of a 1950s Sci-Fi alien invaision film.
The game is beautiful, but pleagued by clitches and unbalnaced combat. If it weren't for that I'd love playing it.
When looking to replay the classic versions of Contra this collection is exactly what I wanted and more. It has all the Nintendo ones I played in my youth and filled with versions I never even knew existed like the Game Boy and Megadrive versions. Getting to play the arcade versions was a nice touch since I never saw it in the arcades I went to.
I loved the hack 'n slash games from the 80s and 90s. This captures the look and spirit of the genre. If you're a fan too, it's well worth a pick up.
If you're looking for the 80s legendary brutal game play found in games like Contra, then you need not look any further. It captures the look, the tight game play, and the high level of frustration found in games like the Contra series.
The game is okay, the story is fine, and the controls are good but not satisfying. It's enjoyable if the love the art, but nothing I'd strongly be compled to play otherwise.
The game is a classic example of the rush to make fighters that occurred during the early and mid 90s. The characters are well known fighter types, but what holds it back for the single player game is the obsurd difficultiy. It's worth picking up if you're going to play primarily against friends.
The story kept my interest, but it is very heavy on the novel part of the game and light on the game. If you go in knowing that it's a solid good time.
This is one of the best DOS platformers you're going to find. It's something I played relentlessly as a child, and have enjoyed plaing as an adult as well. The platforming is challenging, but never unfair.
I had a great time playing it. The city building is exciting and the graphics are beautiful.
