description
The action franchise that started it all is celebrating its 20th anniversary with an all-new adventure on Nintendo DS! Set after the events of Contra III: Alien Wars, the game follows mercenaries Bill Rizer and Lance Bean as they battle to save the world from a new extraterrestrial threat. Contra 4 takes advantage of the dual screens of the Nintendo DS to deliver larger than life action, with massive enemies, detailed platform gaming and mind-blowing set pieces. Using a variety of upgradable weapons, take the fight to the alien army of the Black Viper and reclaim Earth for mankind in single-player action or 2-player co-op mode.

Now this looks like a decent game that I would like to buy. I've always liked Contra games no matter how hard they are.

[kralle]

[Da_ALC]

Krelle, nice one, I can get to level 4 on easy, hehe, man i suck.

[Master_SL]

I've beaten the game on hard without losing a continue until stage 5.

Stage 4 is brutal when you're on the spaceship.
The S gun and F gun both upgraded work wonders.

Hard Corps still tops this imo. Its kinda frustrating since you wouldn't know which screen you'd have to focus on. Plus there's that gap between the 2 screens, I always died because I didn't know there was a grenade falling from the top, or an enemy jumping down to the bottom screen because of that gap
