Side-scrolling shooter veteran Bill Rizer returns -- along with a strange new partner -- to blast away a barrage of alien enemies from a new perspective.
Neo Contra review:
Fans of classic shoot 'em up games will probably enjoy Neo Contra the most. However, since the levels are fairly short and the game is so repetitive, you'll probably want to give it a rent first--or wait until the price comes down ($20 or so would seem appropriate).
Neo Contra review:
Like many 8-bit generation greats, Contra is a classic case of a much beloved franchise desperately trying to survive in the days of 3D gaming.
Neo Contra preview:
The Contra games are famous for two things: being very fast-paced, and being very difficult. Neo Contra, the first three-dimensional instalment in Konami's popular series, is no exception. Taking control of either hardened soldier Bill Rizer or new addition Genbei Jaguer Yagyu (a samurai seen in the opening sequence cutting a jet plane clean in half), Konami's new shooter plunges gamers headlong into a frantic, shrapnel-engulfed world where even the slightest mistake costs lives. Though in this case we mean your own stock of gaming lives, rather than, say, a school filled with civilians bombed by accident.
