It's at least as hard as Contra III.
Quote:It's really a very good game, with great action, great design, fun levels to play through, and more.
It's a somewhat-average Contra-style shooter with pretty graphics and generic gameplay, there's nothing that impressive me much from a gameplay standpoint. It's not overly hard, but there's some frustrating aspects to it.
Quote:Has any Contra game had it?
Yes, Contra III does. Hard Corps came out two and half years later, but they decided to take it out for that one. It makes the game feel archaic, even though it's clear that they wanted something bigger and better to try and match the fast-paced action and intensity of a game like Gunstar Heroes.
Quote:That's true for plenty of SNES games though... and there is some animation, like the turrets turning to fire at you and stuff. And the player character has great animation. Plus the other stuff dies pretty fast, so who cares.
I don't know, you're the one going on and on about how it's this amazing technical achievement and how it's pushing the system to it's absolute limit.
Quote:Oh GR, I gotta go with the crowd here and agree, Castlevania 4 is the better Castlevania. 4 way whipping isn't all it had. It had that "foreground background" mechanic, and some really cool tricks like whipping into rings to swing across stuff.
Uh, I said in my post that I gave the edge to the SNES. What more do you want from me?
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
