Contra - Hard Corps
-
Version
1.0
Play as one of four different members of the Hard
Corps team. Raised in the city slums, Ray Poward is an
expert combatant. Sheena Etranzi is a jungle girl
especially skilled in guerilla tactics. Brad Fang is
part wolf-man, part cyborg, with a Gatling gun grafted
onto his left arm. Browny is a robotic intelligence
tool who packs a laser.
Each character has a standard machine gun, bombs and
four possible weapons pick-ups, including Spread,
which fires in five directions at once, Shower Crash,
which rains down exploding shells, and Gemini Scatter,
which returns like a boomerang. The available weapons
depend on which character you are controlling.
The enemies are varied. Many of the levels have
different gimmicks such as hover-bikes or helicopters.
The bosses are huge, intimidating, and fun to play
against. The graphics themselves are simply stunning.
The use of parallax scrolling in some of the levels
help convey a realistic view of cityscapes and motion.
