Summary: contra 3
Comment: Offline, this is a very rare game. Nonstop action and inredible difficulty. This is a Man's game and shouldn't be taken lightly. Highly recommended for Anyone: Collectors and regular gamers.

Summary: Contra III The Alien Wars Review
Comment: This was a really awesome game but it is very difficult game. The person who sold it to us was very reliable and the game was in good shape. It is a one hit you're dead game but that's okay,it just makes you addicted to it and makes you want to come back with a vengence against the aliens. Would I recommend this game? Yes, because it is fun and challenging in an addicting way.

Summary: Hardest game in history
Comment: The popular Contra series returns to the video game scene but now it debuts on a 16-bit system for the first time. There are only 6 levels here instead of the usual 8 but it's still an action packed shooter featuring new weapons, different techniques, and even enemies. There is nothing too ground breaking but it was still a wild ride that takes a lot of skill to master.

Summary: Contra at its peak
Comment: The Super NES is my personal favorite Nintendo system mainly for its large list of great games. When it first came out, it automatically had great games to start off with, which normally a system doesn't bring in the good batch until a few months later. This game, Contra III: The Alien Wars, is among the first batch of Super NES to be released into the market. And how did this game turn out? Nothing short than a gaming masterpiece.

THE GOOD
Contra brings back the elements of the original games, such as the "one hit equals death" aspect that many dislike, infinite ammunition and the variety of guns, and good ol' fashioned beatdown that can either be taken solo or you can bash your enemies with a friend in its two-player mode. In addition to this, you have the ability to "switch" weapons using the L and R buttons and when you hold onto both, you fire each weapon simultaneously (you can have two different or identical weapons at a time). In fact, if you wanted to keep the weapon, you can always select the other one in case. Also, the graphics are quite good for the time period, but really, if you're a true gamer you could care less.

The difficulty is a major point for me in the Contra series because the enemies keep coming at you and then at the end of each stage, you fight a humongous boss. Pure gaming bliss.

THE BAD
Find something wrong with this game usually causes fatality. If you think the lack of save points is a drawback, you're just a [....].

OVERALL
This game is among the elite entries in the Super NES's library. THIS IS A MUST HAVE. If you dislike this game and think that it's bad, you are wrong.
