I don't mind that the game has a silly sense of humour, as Contra Rebirth on the Wii was surreal and hilarious and opens with a helicopter landing on a space station, but the tone here feels off. It most reminds of the the wonky Contra: Legacy Of War on PSX. Also some very low lows, and from what I've seen of this new one in the trailer, I'm not wildly optimistic. Plus some guns and explosions.Īs a series, Contra - aka Probotector in Europe - has had some great highs, like the amazeballs Contra: Hard Corps on the Mega Drive. Below, the debut trailer, featuring a Twisted Sister song, a cyborg panda, and a whole lot of overt wackiness. Ditching the side-scrolling style of most good games in the series in favour of a roaming camera, and up to four-player via online co-op, it seems like an odd way to revive the Contra name. Another surprise during yesterday's Nintendo Direct E3 show: Contra: Rogue Corps is the latest in Konami's long-neglected series of hard-as-nails arcade shooters, and the first to come to PC since the DOS era.
