Warriorisabouttodie Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I was reading about this game Contra shattered soldier for the PS2. It's been out for a long time, but I just started collecting PS2 games. Obviously being on AA I love old school games too and like the Contra series. I have a version on the SNES, Genesis, GBA, and DS. My favorite versions are the Genesis and DS. Anyway from the Youtube vid this game looks pretty sweet. Is it worth getting?

Yup........if you love getting killed every 5 seconds. Seriously though its a nice old school pickup but its pretty much impossible to beat without cheating. At least for me.

PressureCooker2600 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 It's a bad-ass game. I loaned it out to my bro a few years back and still haven't gotten it back. It's one of the better Contras.......and by far, the hardest. My favorite is still Contra: Hard Corps.....but this ranks up there with all the good Contra's......The Alien Wars, Contra, Super Contra, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the ONLY way me and my buddy could beat it. It was brutally hard.........it never gives you an inch at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiecraig Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 If you like Contra, it certainly is pretty good. But yeah, I real bitch as far as difficulty goes. Definitely true to Contra roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfleet Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I've got Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra, and they are both very good. I actually had more fun with Neo Contra. It's insane! There's nothing like running on spinning helicopter blades in mid-air while killing hordes of enemies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really traditional Contra gameplay, but it certainly wasn't terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
