Konami never fails to impress when it comes to their games such a dance dance revolution and they certainly didn't fail when it came to porting Contra to the NES. I've played the arcade version of Contra but I can't help but enjoy the NES version of the game,the sound is great, the gameplay is great and its challenging but its not enough for you to start raging at the monitor or tv or laptop or whatever the heck you're playing the game on.Contra is based off of the contraband incident in the 80's where president Ronald Reagan had given money to what people had referred to as the contras, the games first 3 levels are based on south america where the contras were based from. The game follows Bill Rizer and Lance Bean as they attempt to infiltrate a terrorist base that has apparently teamed up with aliens to take over the world.You only get 3 lives and 3 continues also one shot and you lose a life making this game incredibly difficult without the famous Konami Code. Even with the code activated, which gives you 30 lives instead of having 3 to start, the game is still hard because of the one hit kills, fortunately all human enemies die after one hit as well. There are also power ups in the game that can help you.F gives you the flamethrower,L gives you a laser gun,S gives you the best power up the spread gun M gives you the machine gun which you can fire without having to keep pressing B,R doesn't do any thing and finally B makes you invincible for a short time.There are only 8 levels in the game 6 of them being sidescrolling levels 2 of them take place in a base, every level also has a boss at the end of it they're not hard but they're not easy either. The final boss is unfortunately the easiest final boss I've ever fought just spray bullets at it and avoid the scorpions it drops. The time I spent playing Contra was an awesome time,even though the game is only half an hour long its a half hour that is well spent.

This is more of a walk through than a review, to be truthful.

Try describing the sounds, the graphics, the depth, the story, and the addictiveness. With what you did, it doesn't seem like a review. Also, make it seem neater. This wasn't that good of a read for me.

Try better next time.

Anyway, congrats and good luck in your next try!

Well, I have to say that this IS a review. It may not be the typical Vizzed style of a review, but it's written more like a review in a magazine or online article would be.

That said, this isn't bad. Keep on writing!
