Customer Rating:

Summary: contra 4 is unstopable
Comment: Contra 4 is cool because it's new but it plays like the old school way. The guns are pretty sick to, and the bosses are unbelievable great. You can work you way to unlock really nice stuff like classic contra and super c, and really nice artwork. I really like the history thing they have where they show you all the contra games they have made in the past and tells you about them.

Summary: I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!
Comment: I love this game! A great game for teen to adult! But it is not good for children under 10 it would be 2 hard.

Customer Rating:

Summary: it too difficult
Comment: I've played it for 2 hours and I still can't beat the first level. The new guns are cool but spready is still the best, especailly double spready. Could someone post the code for 30 lives? That would be a big help.

Summary: Classic game, dressed up...a little
Comment: Contra stuck pretty close to early games. If you can remember play the old nintendo games you will know that they are not "easy" like many of the games today. For instance, get hit once or touched once in this game, you die. I thought the dual screen might help expand the game, but found is was more distracting than helpful. If you risk a glance up at the top screen looking for the weapon upgrades flying by, something will pop out from somewhere and kill you. It does have some neat extras and bonuses and If you are not looking for some long involved adventure quest; then this is a great game to have in your library.

Editorial Reviews:

The action franchise that started it all is celebrating its 20th anniversary with an all-new adventure on Nintendo DS. Set after the events of Contra III: Alien Wars, the game follows mercenaries Bill Rizer and Lance Bean as they battle to save the world from a new extraterrestrial threat. Contra 4 takes advantage of the dual screens of the Nintendo DS to deliver larger than life action, with massive enemies, detailed platforming and mind-blowing set pieces. Across a variety of game modes, including full cooperative play through the main story mode, two players can take the fight to the alien army of the Black Viper and reclaim Earth for mankind.
