Man, before I got this game I heard all about how the difficulty was stupid hard in the American version. Once again a clear case of the Japanese release being superior in every way. But after actually playing it, jeez, the Japanese version must suck. The game is difficult, but not overly so, and most importantly, it's fair. There's lots of memorization, but still, the game gives you plenty of leeway in actually avoiding most attacks. Not only that but half the time if you have the right weapon the bosses will go down before getting out half of their moves.

Easily one of the best games for the system.

That is one of the problems I had with the originals for the Nintendo. They were difficult to play when you got to the 3D levels. They were unweldy, and there as just too much going on at one time for the NES to deal with. The 3D levels were WAYYYY better in Super C.

With that said, I don't have Hard Corps now, but plan on buying it within the next month along with Gunstar Heroes. I found both for 10 bucks (each).

contra ( genesis ) has ( thank god -konami ) no 3D Levels ! they suck !

it's really a challenge but if you master it you fell unstoppabel :-)

I am a hard core Contra fan! I own Contra and Super C for my NES, Operation C for the GB Classic, Contra 3 - The Alien Wars for the SNES, Contra Hard Corps for the Genesis, Contra Shattered Soldier for the PlayStation 2 & Contra Advance for the GBA. I must get Neo Contra for the PS2. I just plain love the Contra series, period!

I don't think the '3d' levels in the first Contra were that bad. However what really bothered me were those awful top-down levels in Contra 3. Felt like a terrible excuse just to use Mode7 effects.

Contra HC ownt,Boomm and the snes was blown totaly away by the hard core pace of Conra HC,If snes was a human,then the genesis with contra wouldnt leave a bit tenderness left for the snes,It would have pulled al its fucking organs out of its body.Contra hc is the best and way to hardcore to handle for snes,comparring contra 3 to HC would be comparring a slowwer game too a fucking adrenaline ride,for its time,It would be like comparring Techno synth,orchestrals that dont fit the contra theme,To fucking hard techno metal.BTW contra HC isnt difficuylt at al,maybe chalenging but not difficult or frusstrating.in the end it would be the battle of the turtle aggianst the rabbit,The rabbit wins in speed ,but if youve watch the loony toones the turtle wins because its smarter,so that wouldnt be correct.Oke (contra 3)waterpistol(contra HC)fu...king machinegun.Contra never been better than contra HC,the ones on ps2 are just recycle versions.BTW every contra on nes still rules.Eat Contra 3 if you are a snes only boy,and hate genises contra hard corps,Oke if its youre uppinion no probe but if you are going to conclude it is a fact that its better than,Eat your contra 3,because maybe youre getting youre ass whipped by people that disagree with you because their right.

Ahh, Contra: Hard Corps, it kicks ass! Great blasting action and challenge for two players. It is really hard, but that's what makes it fun. You just have to learn the patterns of the enemies and especially the bosses. Know when to use which weapon, how to defend etc. Do that and you'll get a little bit longer every time you play. Me and my brother has seen all 6 endings.

Really? I loved those levels. They weren't Contra quality or anything, but they were a fun break from the scrolling.

[MegaDrive20XX]

I loved those Mode 7 levels too..that was the shit

Seriously, the frustrating...whatcha except with a name like "HARD CORPS" they ain't kidding!

Damn great game and I must say the soundtrack is very enjoyable. Plus being one of the first Contra games to have multiple-endings was a top notch. I laughed my ass off when I saw the caveman ending.

Check out the commercial in the archives.... Hard Corps is awesome lol.

I never could get into gustarheroes. The whole colorful thing killed it for me. Metal Slug is great though, but it's no contra challenge wise.
