Personal review

The first of two Contra titles developed by Appaloosa Interactive, as well as the first attempt to convert the Contra gameplay to 3D. Was originally sold with a pair of anaglyph glasses. This is the the only contra game you should avoid like the plague- gone is the kick-ass 2D run-and-gun style that made the series so popular. Instead this is a broken, crappy overhead 'action' game that should never have been given the Contra name.
