Contra 4 - Nintendo DS

Contra 4 for the Nintendo DS is a direct sequel to Contra III: The Alien Wars and a triumphant return to the series' roots — a brutally challenging, lightning-fast run-and-gun action game that delivers pure adrenaline across nine relentless levels. Set two years after the defeat of Red Falcon, the main alien invading force known as Black Viper now approaches Earth, and series veterans Bill Rizer and Lance Bean are joined by two new commandos — Mad Dog and Scorpion — as humanity's last line of defense. The game's most distinctive feature is its seamless dual-screen presentation: levels span both DS displays vertically, giving players a dramatically wider view of the battlefield and meaning death can strike from any direction at any time. A new grappling hook lets players swing between platforms and traverse environments in ways never before seen in the series, adding a new tactical dimension to the classic run-and-shoot formula. Each player now carries two weapon slots — switchable on the fly with a shoulder button — allowing for clever power-up combinations from the game's deep arsenal. The cartridge is an extraordinary value for series fans, bundling an illustrated history of the Contra franchise alongside the complete original NES Contra and Super C, both fully playable. Featured in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die, Contra 4 earned an 84% average critic score on MobyGames and is widely regarded as one of the finest entries in the series.
