5.0 out of 5 stars The best Contra game, July 8, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Super C (Video Game)

Super C is one of the best(if not the best) Contra games. You play as a commando blasting through stages, collecting all kinds of weapon powerups. The Spreader(S)weapon is always the best. This game is very fun. I can make it through about 3 or 4 levels without losing a life(1 hit kills you).The levels are all very big and they are full of enemies. The best part about this game has got to be the bosses. They were all big and hard(but most of them can be killed easily with the spreader). Overall, this is a fun game that has a good life span. Reccomended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super C: If It Moves, Shoot It, August 24, 2009

If it moves, shoots, jumps, flies, bounces, floats, or even looks at you wrong, shoot the ever-living crap out of it! That is your mission in Super C, the sequel to the highly successful NES classic Contra. In Super C, an alien race has invaded a base in South America and it's up to Bill and Lance to stop them. That's it. Hey, if you're looking for a deep story or interesting characters, you need to look elsewhere. This game is all about one thing: shooting stuff.

Your goal is to wipe out everything onscreen with an infinite supply of ammo and some truly excellent weapons powerups. While you don't get to choose which powerup you get, if you play it enough you can memorize where and when to get each powerup. You've got the fire gun, machine gun, and of course the spread gun (or spray gun). There's also a barrier sheild powerup and a bomb powerup, that kills everything onscreen. With these weapons you can annihilate everything to you hearts content. You can also jump and fire in 9 different directions, and trust me, you're gonna need to!

The game is hard too. One hit = death and you only have 3 lives. The first 4 levels are pretty easy, but the later ones, specifically Level 7, are a real challenge. Be prepared to scream at the TV and throw your NES controller because this game will try your patience.

Well I think I've said enough. All in all, a great game that doesn't require much thinking, but is endlessly replayable and utterly satisfying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Want to Test How Good a Gamer You Are?, June 16, 2006

Then you need to pick up Super C, because of all the Contra games, I still find this to be the hardest of the lot. However, Super C is a game where you can't wimp out. Much like the first Contra, it takes practice to learn. However, as far as advancing the series goes, Super C does it in the way a game ought to do it. It keeps the same basic gameplay, but it throws in new enemies, harder levels and different level designs. Simply put, mastering the first Contra doesn't give you an edge in Super C.

There are eight levels in the game, and it works exactly as the first Contra did in this respect. You will go through, running and gunning through tons of enemies. You'll find many weapons for you to use. They all come from the previous Contra game. You'll find a machine gun, flame thrower (there are two types this time), laser and the Spread Gun. Again, as any Contra veteran can tell you, the Spread Gun is perhaps the best weapon you could hope to get. Strong, and can hit just about anything.

What makes Super C much harder than the first Contra game is simply that there is more stuff that comes at you. More enemies, and more gun shots to avoid. Combine that with the fact that the Classic Konami code DOES NOT work with this game. One hit, you're dead, and you've only got two lives to start with. You earn more by scoring lots of points, but with bosses that are much more difficult in scope and enemies that take a lot more time to predict, Super C will have you dying of frustration (perhaps even literally).

Super C does two player co-op exactly as the first one did it. Again, there are few games that do two player co-op better than the Contra series. Super C is no exception.

The music, while not better than the first Contra, is still fantastic. Graphic wise it's also better than the first Contra. It uses the same sprites but the environments are far more detailed. Allowing for more populated levels.

Old school gaming almost doesn't get any better.
