Its as if someone wanted an increase in speed, but messed up speed fro the X axis. Sometimes they curve and arc, but other times they’re standard and typical. So poorly programmed that the first boss’s projectiles are wildly erratic, sometimes unpredictable, such as moving at normal speed, but other times they are hyper speed. When you die close to the edge of the screen your character flips through to the other side dead. The original Contra may have been difficult, but it still felt fair and fun. Sure some people say that’s NES hard, but its painful in a game with limited lives and continues.
That’s another negative thing about this game, there are a lot of levels that are just unfair death traps, until you’ve memorize them. You need to rely on your mastery of awful controls and level memorization, especially in the second level with falling rocks. There are extra lives in containers, but that’s it. Between levels shows you a high score screen straight out of the original Contra, but there is no high score, so its always at 0. No score means no extra lives or high score. You need to be very soft with your jumps.Īnother downfall of the game is there’s no score. It can be a problem when you jump to a higher platform only to jump a immediately second time. If you are still holding jump when you land, you’ll jump again. Oh, but the list keeps going when it comes to the issues. There are problems in the reverse where you can drop through the edge of a platform. One larger enemy that fires projectiles kills you even far away, because its hit box is just so giant. The player cannot get next to a barrel, because the hit box doesn’t match with the edge of the barrel and its a laughably far distance. Outside of how slow the game performs, there are other issues, such as poor hit detection and spotty hit detection, such as the first boss let me jump through him dozens of times, before it finally hit and killed me. Your jumps keep you in the air and offer a lot of control, but even jumping becomes detrimental. Its a game covered in tar with how slow it moves. Most of the graphics and sound have been pulled straight from Contra games. You can play solo or with two players simultaneously as Bill Rizer and Lance Beam from the first game. On the surface, the game looks like a new Contra game. Revered for its challenge, so its an easy target to make an unofficial game.
#Super contra game hd series#
The early series is one of the most loved and revered games of all time. The Contra franchise is legendary for the run n gun genre with one hit deaths, big action and fun gameplay.
Anyway, you buy it from Microsoft.Super Contra 7 is an unofficial run n gun game that looks a lot better than it plays. There are some checks performed under the hood when the transaction is happening, but if you manage to buy it - it's OK, it's yours rightfully. Microsoft doesn't prohibit buying a game in another region. NB to the people who think it's illegal - it's not.
#Super contra game hd install#
There is an edge case also when you could not see the game in your collection on the console, but you could see it in the mobile Xbox App - then install it from there. there aren't many, but still some games exist with more strict checks of the region. A few cases might happen here - you might not be able to either install or launch (or both) the game - in that case, switch back to the US for that game. This is happening just because there's a check of your credit card to match the selected region is performed.ħ) try to install and launch the game. If you don't re-select the card, an error might display, and even more - there's a slight possibility that your newly added credit card would be banned for some period of time (2-3 weeks usually). It will be validated then and after a short while display a success message.Ĥ) open the Store and browse any games in the US regionĥ) the last thing to remember is that you MUST re-select that credit card / payment option each time before you press the 'Buy' button on the Cart Summary screen. Enter this info into what the console's asking you. The easiest way to find it is to open any city, any street on Google Maps and select, say, a restaurant there - you'll see it's postal requisites: the address, state and postal code.
#Super contra game hd code#
While doing this, the console will ask you for a US address - just enter any valid address and (most importantly) a valid US postal code that matches this address. This should be another card of yours, not the main card you're using when 'in UK'. I suggest that in order to buy from another region (say, you are in UK and want to buy from US region), you should:ġ) switch to the US in console region settingsģ) add a valid payment option (I'm using a VISA or MasterCard credit card).
