   GAME REVIEW: CONTRA: HARD CORPS  BY: GOLGO 14

                               MORE LIKE 
        CONTRA : HARDCORE!!
 
     WHEN MOST OLD SCHOOL GAMERS REFER TO THE CONTRA GAMES, THEY USUALLY REFER TO THE MORE POPULAR CONTRA GAMES SUCH AS THE OLD
 NES CLASSIC OR THE GREAT CONTRA 3 THE ALIEN WARS ON SNES AND TALK ABOUT HOW FUN AND CHALLENGING THEY WERE AND HOW REWARDING IT WAS TO FINALLY BEAT THAT ONE BOSS OR TO EVEN COMPLETE THE GAME AT ALL WITHOUT THE FAMOUS "KONAMI CODE".......IF THEY ONLY KNEW(QUE DIABOLICAL LAUGH).CONTRA: HARD CORPS IS THE REAL DEAL !!

GRAPHICS: 9     CONTRA: HARD CORPS IS TRULY A VISUAL SENSORY OVERLOAD.IT CRAMS SO MANY SPITES ON THE SCREEN WITHOUT A HINT OF SLOWDOWN, WITH TONS OF PARALLAX SCROLLING . THE ART DIRECTION IN THIS TITLE IS VERY DARK AND BEAUTIFUL, WITH WONDERFULLY DINGY ,POST APOCALYPTIC TYPE  METALLIC STRUCTURES THAT DRIFT OFF INTO A BLEAK HORIZON.THE BOSSES ARE MASSIVE, HULKING MONSTROSITIES, ANIMATED EXTREMELY SMOOTHLY AND ARE ALWAYS A GRAND EXPERIENCE. OF ALL THE OLD SCHOOL 16 BIT CONTRAS , THIS ONE REMAINS THE MOST VISUALLY ACCOMPLISHED OF THEM ALL.

SOUND: 8    THE MUSIC AND SOUND DESIGN ARE ALL QUITE EXCELLENT. THE OPENING STAGE STARTS WITH A VERY INTENSE 180 BPM TRACK LACED WITH SOME CATCHY BASS AND SYNTH AND SETS THE TONE PERFECTLY AND CONSISTENTLY KEEPS IT UP FOR EACH OF THE  HARROWING STAGES. THE SOUND DESIGN  ITSELF IS ALSO EXCELLENT WITH NICE, BASSY EXPLOTIONS AND SOME INTERESTING(THOUGH SLIGHTLY TINNY) DIGITIZED SPEECH.OVERALL NICE JOB KONAMI!!


ADDICTIVENESS: 9  WITHOUT A DOUBT  YOU WILL BECOME A SLAVE TO THIS TITLE. THE REPLAY FACTOR IS WHAT MAKES THIS CONTRA QUITE SPECIAL.FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A CONTRA GAME THERE ARE MULTIPLE PATHS THROUGH EACH STAGE AND MULTIPLE CHRACTERS TO USE THAT ACTUALLY AFFECT THE ENDING YOU RECEIVE.THE STAGES THEMSELVES ARE ALWAYS MIXING IT UP, SENDING YOU LEFT, RIGHT,INTO THE SKY AND UNDERGROUND EVEN SWITCHING TO 3-D PERSPECTIVES KEEPING YOU WONDERING WHAT THE NEXT STAGE WILL BRING TO THE TABLE.THE MOMENT TO MOMENT GAMEPLAY HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER AS KEEPS YOU COMING BACK ...THAT'S IF..AND ONLY IF.. YOURE UP FOR THE..................................

C H A L L E N G E: 10 FACT : YOU WILL DIE...ALOT. THIS IS PROBABLY WHAT DEFINES THIS GAME THE MOST AND WHAT SEPARATES THIS CONTRA FROM EVERY OTHER OLD SCHOOL CONRTA GAME. THIS FOLKS, IS THE MOUNT EVEREST BEAST OF A CONTRA THAT WILL LEAVE ALL THAT FACES ITS CLIMB TO THE TOP, FROST BITTEN AND STRANDED NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. YOU WILL BE TESTED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, FORCED TO MEMORIZE THAT EXACT MOMENT TO JUMP OR TO SHOOT OR NEED TO REMEMBER THAT INSANE BOSS PATTERN MORE THAT YOU EVER HAVE BEFORE . AND NO THE KONAMI CODE WILL NOT SAVE YOU THIS TIME(CUE DIABOLICAL LAUGH)

STORY: 4  UMM DO YOU REMEMBER THAT LAST GREAT CONTRA STORY WHERE AERITH DIED AND YOU FINALLY DEFEATED SEPARO...ERRR. WAIT  WRONG GAME..WHAT I MEAN TO SAY IS STORY IN A CONTRA GAME IS ABOUT AS POINLESS AS SWEEPING DIRT ROAD..SO THERE


CONCLUSION : CONTRA: HARD CORPS IS THE DEFINING CONTRA OF THE 16 BIT GENERATION THAT WAS SADLY OVERLOOKED BY MOST, PROBABLY DUE TO THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY PRESENTED HERE. BE BRAVE AND PATIENT FELLOW GAMERS  AND PERSISTENT BECAUSE ONCE YOU FINALLY DO REACH THE TOP OF THIS MOUNTAIN... THE VIEW IS EXTRAORDINARY !!!
