Ok, I didn't unlock the character for easy mode yet, but eh. Luckily, I only had to play it less than 7 or 8 hours to get through those three difficulties, and I know I'm not missing out on more (unless each character does have different endings, which honestly I'd just Youtube at this point). Worth the 1000 points, and all Contra fans must play it, but I was disappointed with some things. Ok, with all my complaints out of the way, it was a good Contra game, but by no means a favorite of the series. Even Nightmare difficulty wasn't that hard, taking me only 3 hours or so to get through. Do you get different endings with different characters?Ī fair Contra game, but way too easy. Third, no matter what difficulty you play it on (well, I only played Normal, Hard, and Nightmare), you get the SAME ending and you get NOTHING for beating it on Nightmare (super lame). Second, I'm pissed there's only five stages. They made little sense, and the one about a crossdresser was friggin stupid. I finally got around to playing this the last three days and wanted to post a few thoughts. What did you guys think of the queerness of this game's cutscenes and design choices?I think the Contra games have progressively been getting stranger through the years, or at least had instances of strangeness peppered throughout.Īs long as the action is there and it's classic 2D Contra game-play it doesn't bother me how strange the story is. But while I don't want to spoil the ending for those who haven't gotten to it with Bill, I will say it involves a naked dude handing a bandana to a robot girl before getting frozen.įrom what I hear, the game has many unlockable characters which are obtained by finishing the game with different characters, so I'm sure there is more epilogue weirdness to be seen. But even then the glimpses of them definitely showed the strangeness: Commander Salamander, robot girl "Contra"s, cross-dressers, etc. When I played the game I skipped all of the cutscenes except the last because I was more concerned with playing through to the ending. Sure, Hard Corps had a werewolf and a robot playable character, but this Rebirth is messed up. Having successfully finished Contra Rebirth (normal difficulty, five lives), I have to say that it is the weirdest Contra I know of.
