Snes review: Contra 3-The Alien Wars. Master Gamer volume 6.

Contra 3-The Alien Wars (Super Nintendo) My rating: S

A top action game (Even to this day) and one of the best Snes games out there, Contra 3 is clearly a fantastic title. What makes Contra 3 an instant classic is the gameplay. It's spewing with excellent action sequences that never get old or dull. In one stage, you fight off enemies while riding on hoverbikes, then grab onto a helicopter's missile in which is fire towards an enemy battle ship, with you still on it!! Ridiculous moments like is what makes this game so darn good. The only flaws I found from this game is the one hit kills (A bummer in all Contra games) and it's length, only six stages are in the whole game. The levels are big with lots of baddies to shoot but it won't take long to figure each enemies pattern. Overall, this game is must play, must have game that any gamer will enjoy. Play that Contra music right boy!!

Truly excellent work Phil Côté and Jean-François Durocher (aka. Genisto). Both of these guys beat Contra 3 on the hardest difficulty in 13:40, without dying once. Contra 3 is extremely tough on it's hardest level but these guys just make everything look easy. Once again, these are 'classic console games being played extraordinarily, using an emulator as a tool to overcome human limitations such as skill and reflex.' Thanks to taipion for the footage.
