Contra has some parts which are just a pain in the ass with two people! Super C doesn’t seem to have those moments.īoth games are fantastic, and if you are a fan of Contra, and haven’t played Super C, you’d better go play it right now, before I tie you to a chair and FORCE you to play it! (Seriously, go play it, you’ll love it if you loved Contra!). I will say though, I feel like Super C was better designed for two people. Super Contra is a Run and Gun-style action game produced by Konami, originally released as a coin-operated arcade game in 1988. I’ve beaten both games without dying before. I feel like Super C is slightly harder than Contra, but I think they’re pretty similar for the most part in that regard. Overall, I think Super C just has a darker tone, and that seems to be what they were trying to do with it. Contra generally has brighter colours, and Super C has a considerably darker look to it. Super C’s music is more laid back, and overall gives a darker feel to the game, as do the graphics in the game. The music also has a considerably different atmosphere Contra’s soundtrack really stands out and is sort of in your face at times, and even in the more darker tracks, I feel most of Contra’s soundtrack is pretty funky and upbeat. Overall, I feel like the main difference in style between Contra and Super C is that Contra was based around obstacle courses, while Super C was more about fighting enemies and destroying enemy artillery. Help Lance and Bill stop Red Falcon before they take over the world. They feel more like actual levels.Ĭontra was mostly comprised of stages moving to the right, and the exception to this was Waterfall, but Super C has two stages going upward, and even one going down! Single Player, Xbox LIVE Multiplayer 1-2, Local Multiplayer 1-2, HD (High Definition). Remember how useless it was in Contra? Now… it’s arguably better than the SPREAD GUN! It now moves so fast across the screen, and it does so much damage! Plus, you can charge it up by holding down the button, and it does about 4 times the normal damage it does! Deciding which one is better just depends on whether you want to be offensive or defensive!Īnother notable difference is that instead of having 3D base obstacle course style stages, Super C replaces these stages with overhead stages, which I actually prefer. The fire weapon is completely different in this game. There’s a significant speed increase in how fast your bullets move across the screen, though, especially with the spread gun! You have the same weapons from the original game. The game has 8 stages, just like Contra, and the gameplay is very similar. A must-have for all Contra fans, especially those who felt that the final boss in Contra was too easy to beat.Super C is the not as well known sequel to the legendary Contra on the NES! The gameplay is very similar to Contra, and it’s just as much fun to play! It’s a shame that so many people have missed out on this amazing title, because it’s at LEAST just as good as Contra! Super C is a better game than the already solid original.
This is no cakewalk, though: the bosses are still tough, and very huge. It's still difficult, but many of the unfair deaths in Contra aren't here any more. The best improvement is that the game as a whole seems much less frustrating. The flamethrower has been made more powerful (it shoots flame balls that burst on contact with a surface). Instead, there are two overhead levels, much like Commando. The best enhancement in Super C is the removal of those hidden, behind-the-back areas. at first human and militaristic, later hideous and very alien. As the game progresses, its obvious how the motifs of each level changes. The game lacks the ability to aim diagonally while standing still, or a good jumping control, but these inconveniences are minor. Super C plays a lot like its predecessor, with plenty of weapons that can be collected, with the same aiming and jumping controls.
#SUPER CONTRA GAME CODE#
The only commandos left are Lance and Scorpian, so its off to duty! The main characters also got badass code names, Mad Dog and Scorpion.
right on the military bases on the planet.
#SUPER CONTRA GAME FULL#
Instead of landing on a crappy little remote island, he's decided to mount a full fledged attack.
Now its up to Scorpion and Mad Dog to battle. Remember Red Falcon? You though your destroyed his heart at the end of Contra, but he's back, and tougher than ever. The alien Red Falcon is back, and planning on taking over the planet Earth. You are given only three lives per player, and a handful of continues before you must start the game from scratch.
#SUPER CONTRA GAME SERIES#
To those unfamiliar with the original, the Contra series is basically Rambo incarnated: there's plenty of two player side-scrolling action, and lots shoot-everything-in-sight opportunities. The second and unfortunately last in Konami's widely acclaimed Contra series that were translated to the PC, Super C retains the addictive gameplay of the original while introducing more challenges and new surprises.
