Best contra game series

Contra Hard Corps is the best Contra game, no contest. That isn't to say the rest of the series isn't great, but Hard Corps is just perfect. Deleted member user requested account closure Banned. Oct 30, Contra Hard Corps is sooo good.

Hard Corps still my favorite. Contra 4 on DS was super fun too. ItsTheShoes Attempting to circumvent ban with an alt Banned. Oct 27, I feel the genre is played out, but I enjoy a lot of the entries. Oct 28, 7, Shattered Soldier is fantastic. Few things I love more than running on helicopter blades.

Contra 3: Alien Wars was the one I grew up with but Hard Corps has grown on me over the years, they are about equal to me. ItsTheShoes said:. Oct 25, 34, Silky said:. Poolman Banned. Oct 27, 5, Contra 4 is a very good game. Temtastic Muns Member. Apr 19, 3, I'm a much bigger fan of classic run 'n gun Contra than the newer boss rush type Contra.

That said, Contra NES still reigns supreme for me. Contra 4 is a very close second. HockeyBird Member. I'm sure Konami will get to making a Contra slot machine sometime soon. Oct 25, 4, It might be easiest to work backwards. Hard Corps does have an easy mode character but it's still really tough. Even relative to it's time. Oct 25, 1, Oct 25, 17, Columbus, OH. Happy to see the Hard Corps love. Much better than Contra 3.

Also, I know many here don't like metal covers but Contra 4 remix album is impressive:. Oct 28, 2, Like Liked by 1 person. Do we know why contra hard corps and castlevania bloodlines never had digital releases? It is strangely inaccessible for such a ubiquitous game. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Plus I can never, ever forget the advertising from the comics I read.

The meat grinder? Outside of that, the best Contra is Shattered Soldier. Letting you tackle levels in any order is great. The bosses are exactly what I wanted in a game. I love how shiny the graphics are. This is what I hoped 3D games were going to do. Sadly they did not live up to this. This was the last PS2 game I bought new, whatever year it came out. Disc Read Errors stopped my playstatiion 2 buying until last year.

Nothing can surpass the original Contra, however Shattered Soldier and Alien Wars come pretty close in 2nd place. Hard Corps is the best in my honest opinion. The first one would follow, that first level is so memorable. I still playind the original Contra, its really a killing spree fun, the contra hard cops are good too.

I have to go with Shattered Soldier. It was the perfect next-gen evolution of the series as well as a great homage to the Contras that came before it. Contra Hard Corps is absolutely the best to play in the series. The original Contra NES is held in the highest regard, and rightfully so, but if you can only go back and play one, it should be Hard Corps. Contra III is more difficult in my view! Another poll on this site dominated by nostalgia over actual game quality.

There is no way on earth NES contra is the best in this series. Seeing this poll reminds me that I still need to play hard corps and 4. Anybody here have thoughts on neo contra? Whereas,Shatter Soldier became the standard barrier for which all newer installments are judged by. Literally bursting with action set piece after set piece and still stands up after all these years.

Contra Rebirth is a welcome slice of nostalgia that will evoke the fondest memories of Contra III while adding a few nice ideas of its own to the classic Contra canon.
