DESCRIPTION

The third and final Contra game on the NES, Contra Force takes you through five missions to rescue Neo City's kidnapped chief commissioner. Throughout the course of the game, you can alternate between C-Force rescue team members Burn, Smith, Beans and Iron, all equipped with unique skills and distinct weapons. In one-player mode you can call on a CPU-controlled team member to temporarily help you in tough situations. Contra Force suffers from slowdown and flicker, and encounters the same difficulty as its predecessor by only providing three lives. While not as intense or innovative as Contra, the added strategy of multiple characters makes Contra Force a fine shooter in its own right. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
