CONTRA 4 REVIEW:(NDS)
This review is for the Nintendo DS version

Contra 4 is a 2007 run-and-gun game.WayFoward Technologies, the game's producer, and Konami, the distributor, have done a great job.The story of the game is as follows.The plot is set in 2638, two years after the events of Contra III: the Alien Wars and around the events of Deconstructed Rogue Corps. The Red Falcon alien threat has been defeated and the alien Wars are over, the World is peaceful once again. However, a similar alien entity, calling itself the Black Viper, begins to launch similar attacks against the human race, causing mass destruction on the planet. After strange readings are detected in the Galuga archipelago (the setting of the original Contra), the Earth Federation sends the four most powerful Contra Force commandos on a final strike mission to destroy the Black Viper and his army of aliens, robots and mutants. Contra 4's continuity is based on the Japanese canon, which was adapted to the English localization of the series with the release of Contra: Shattered Soldier. However, the makers of the game took a number of liberties with the established canon, integrating elements of American localizations of old games and thus Deconstructing the two versions into one.

Contra 4's continuity is based on the Japanese canon, which was adapted to the English localization of the series with the release of Contra: Shattered Soldier. However, the makers of the game took a number of liberties with the established canon, integrating elements of American localizations of old games and thus Deconstructing the two versions into one. While Alien Black Viper was initially only mentioned in the North American operations C manual, the original plot of this game (released in Japan only as "Contra") was about an unnamed superpower that creates new weapons using an alien cell. In the manual and in the timeline presented on the official website, the events of operation C are interpreted as a previous mission of "Mad Dog" and "Scorpion" - two new characters created specifically for Contra 4, against the Black Viper. In fact, "Mad Dog" and "Scorpion" were the names used for Bill and Lance for the North American Nes games. In addition, operation C October was originally a solo mission by Lance Bean, aka Scorpion (since the game is only one player).The gameplay is as follows.in this game consisting of 9 episodes, you are trying to kill the creatures and pass the episode.The music of the game is beautiful.If you are not too obsessed with graphics and you like retro games, this game is for you.My rating for the game: 10/10 (y) Good games to everyone 🙂
