Topic: The Contra ReBirth Thread

You only get to keep your weapons on Easy, which is nearly comically easy in the first place.

But yeah, you can't really say exactly "how hard it is" - the difference between Easy and Nightmare are extreme. Anyone can play and enjoy this regardless of skill.

I don't like how they took out half the usual Contra weapons, though.

Is anyone able to beat the game on Normal without using a continue? I tried to beat it countless times with 7 lives but I always run out of lives in the 5th stage while fighting the Red Falcon.

I recently bought and played through this. I think the difficulty is great and as hard as you want it to be. For some reason I've had a lot of trouble with level 3 - even on easy had some difficulty.

This is much easier than the original contra, however almost everyone played using the komani code which made things fairly easy. So basically this one lets you make it easier without a code.
Kinda funny how I've seen some contra vets complain about how easy the game is, almost like they want to brag about how good they are. Put it on hard or nightmare and keep the lives at 3 and its definitely not easier then the original contra.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!? Infinite continues? That's no real Contra!

^ Does that matter? If you truly want to beat the game and call yourself Private First Class, then you use no continues anyway. Not even a single one.

@Omega: Yeah, that's true. Still, you're supposed to sweat and bleed through every level time and time again to be awarded with the final boss, even if you end up getting a pitiful score... well, whatever.

god!! level 3 on hard is impossible!!
