Contra: Shattered Soldier
Description official descriptions
The Contra series has been a popular action game for many people. Now the original creators have come back to bring the series back to the life. It has the same feel of the other Contra games, but it has never looked anything like this before. The gameplay is the same fast 2D style, but enriched with 3D environments and effects. You can play two players simultaneously as in the past games. Wide array of weapons are available, many of the oldies, some enhanced, some new. Unlockable endings and levels give it even more replay value.

The Good
This is a classic insane console/arcade shooter. It ranks with classics as the original Contra, which just happens to be the same team responsible for Shattered Soldier, and games like R-Types. It's fun to play. It's very difficult and addictive because you know you could have avoided that last missile.
The Bad
Just like the classic arcade games you can't save and start where you died. You have to start at the beginning every time.
The Bottom Line
Classic intense shooter action.
