Good, but a bit disappointing

I Played this game about 5 years ago. It's was good, but it was also a bit disappointing. First of all, there's no two player mode. Second, the game gets too difficult too fast. And finally, the graphics make the game look very dated. Only the first level is 2D, the rest are 3D and overhead. If you're a contra fan, then you might like this. Otherwise look elsewhere.

"C: The Contra Adventure" is the second "Contra" game to hit the Playstation. "Contra Adventure" has been said, by many reviewers, to be very bad and not worth buying. I disagree. While not completely standard "Contra" fare, "Contra Adventure" is certainly not bad. The same "blow up every single thing that moves while trying to survive" gameplay remains, now in 3D enviroments. That alone makes it worthy of a purchase. The sound is okay. The explosions and gunfire sound great, and the music, ranging from very good to somewhat unusual, isn't very bad. Your character also spits out a wide variety of one-liners when he destroys enemies, saying things like "Sit down, punk!" and "Check, please". The voice clips aren't digitized very well, but, you'll laugh at the comments, regardless, because you'll either think they're funny, corny, or stupid. The graphics look pretty good, especially in the side-scrolling levels (both of them). They can be a bit grainy at times, though. Play control is excellent, responding perfectly to every button press, which is very necessary. This game can be very difficult at times, especially on the hard mode where everything can get completely out of hand. There's a good chance you won't beat the first level on your first try. I'd recommend this game for the true "Contra" fan, any hot shot gamer who thinks he/she can beat any game, or someone who likes the old formula of "Less thinking, more blasting". That's my two cents.
I also recommend: Any other "Contra" game, "Duke Nukem: Zero Hour", "Duke Nukem: Time to Kill".
