![]() Nostalgic Contra fans are therefore likely to get a real kick out of Contra: Shattered Soldier for the PlayStation 2, which essentially re-creates the series' classic gameplay using 3D polygons instead of 2D sprites. And now, after hitting a couple of bum notes during the late '90s, the Contra series returns in what can easily be described as an homage to the series' roots. Impressive graphics, an excellent musical score, and two-player simultaneous gameplay ensured the game's long-term popularity, and a couple of great sequels-particularly the outstanding Contra III: The Alien Wars-helped turn Contra into one of Konami's best-known franchises. First released in arcades back in 1987 and later successfully ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System, the action-packed shooter featured a mix of side-scrolling and pseudo-3D levels, a number of powerful weapons, lots of tough opponents, and plenty of surprises. There's no denying that Konami's Contra is a classic. ![]()
