I like it! It is so cool! The other bozos, but, don’t. They miss bombs and 2 weapons. The bombs were cheezy. Kill everything on screen with one button. The 2 weapons was cheating. Place a spreader on one side and switch before you die and tell me that isn’t cheating. I don’t see bombs or 2 weapons on Shattered Soldier (also splendid). Then again, Shattered Soldier gives you 3 weapons, which charge. And you can’t lose them. I’ll save the rest for a SS review.
There are supposedly new levels, but I can’t tell. I never played the original.
They say this game is luck. Luck is not anything.
TELL ME I’M LUCKY WHEN I GET TO FRICKEN’ LEVEL 4 WITHOUT DYING ONCE! (I’m excellent, not splendid)
Passwords suck. I prefer to play straight owing to in one sit.
I hope they port Contra. And Castlevania 2…

I was thrilled with the thought of this game. I couldn’t presume playing a game like Contra III on a bus, or at an airport or wherever. I’d probably start screaming and putting random people in the Crippler Crossface or something, and eventually getting sued, only to tell the judge I was playing Contra III, and he would say, “The defendant has pleaded ‘Contra III’, case dismissed.” Contra III had that kind of effect on you, in a GOOD way. Unfortunately, this game has that effect on you in a BAD way.
First of all, it’s worth noting that the overhead levels of Contra III were replaced with a couple levels from the Sega Contra game. Okay, that’s fine. Oh, and also, you can only hold on to one gun at once and there are no bombs in the game. Ehh, alright, so it’s more of a combination between Contra III, Contra: Hard Body and the original Contra. Oh, and the gameplay controls are ultra-sensitive and there’s VERY small margin for error. And the screen seems way too small to fit the impossibly insane amount of things going on. Now I’m really getting annoyed. And I reflect that’s the right word for it. This game is irritating. Annoyingly disappointing. It’s only redeeming quality is the superb presentation and graphics, and maybe for letting your bordering enemy play it while telling him, “Hey look, its Contra III, and its portable!” “Really? Sweet!”

The GBA is not anything but a repository for terrible ports of SNES titles that weren’t all that excellent in the first place.
According to some people, anyway. Such close-minded folk will simply have to miss out on this lovely Contra remix, a combination of two of the 16-bit era’s best shooters.
The Alien Wars (SNES) and Hard Body (Genesis) with some extra stuff thrown in for excellent measure. (The only major omissions: The SNES game’s overhead levels are gone, and you can’t carry multiple weapons at once.) If you’ve never played them before, consider this game a handy pocket reference to an age that unfortunately passed long ago. As you’d expect from Konami’s 16-bit years, The Alien Wars EX features stupendously well-animated characters and a boopy-yet-catchy soundtrack. The control’s spot-on, too, which is helpful ‘cuz the smaller screen size means you have a much tinier margin of error during most boss battles. Of course, this being Contra, the game’s mind-numbingly challenging a fact that limited continues and an irritating 18-letter password system don’t change much. Despite (or perhaps because of) this, this is one hot ‘n spicy GBA remake that’s in fact worth the cash for a change.

Contra has always been a personal favorite of mine.
Now GameBoy Advance is coming out with the ultimate version of one of the greatest sports meeting ever made.
Contra Advance – The Alien Wars EX is the classic Super Nintendo game Contra 3.
This time but, the gameboy advance version will made even better on this 32-bit system instead of the 16-bit SNES.
This game will also have some extra levels not seen on the SNES version.
Everyone better get ready because this is the game to own.
Konami at it’s finest.
Don’t reflect just buy it, you won’t be sorry.

This was a splendid buy. The game is the same as the supernintendo edition. I’m having a blast playing. The only downside is the cheat codes take forever to type in.
