DESCRIPTION

Konami brings its first Contra title to the DS, 20 years after the original defined the side-scrolling combat genre. Taking place two years after the events of Contra III: The Alien Wars, Contra 4 once again finds series protagonists Bill Rizer, Lance Bean, Mad Dog, and Scorpion peppering the Black Viper alien menace with a fusillade of bullets. As always, the side-scrolling combat is littered with weapon power-ups that make for some serious firepower, and the two-player co-op mode lets friends double the damage. However, the dual screens allow for new kinds of action, like massive, screen-filling enemies, and the new grappling hook, which lets players swing from the bottom screen to the top screen. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

Contra 4 (DS) by: Roxas-UrBoxas

“Sigh... Just as impossible as every single other Contra out there, but they're still addicting and fun because you constantly feel like you could beat this game but you just need to practice more. Nope... It's just impossible. Did anyone notice...”

“Finally i finished the 1st level but this game is difficult (ever in normal). And the Single player game is an Arcade Mode so......”

“With my skills, I don't think I'll ever see the ending on Normal mode. I lost all of my lives on the second stage after completing the first one almost flawlessly.”

“Ugh. My bad on the slow response - I haven't really been in the mood to write a lot lately. Um, games. I've actually been playing quite a bit: One group of friends has created a guild in Neo Steam....”
