Once again, us Americans get two human dudes while in Japan they were robots. It is kind of sad that such a powerful foe cannot afford tanks and weapons that do not shoot in such easy to define and dodge patterns, but hey, if they did your man who can only take one hit would not stand a chance. The story has the Red Falcon organization on the attack again, and it is up to the two heroes to blast their way through their army bases that get less militaristic looking in nature and more alien looking as you progress. These days, though, all games take an eternity so it is nice to play a quick game such as this as a quick distraction. It does boost rather good graphics for an 8 bit system though and is fun, but like the first game it is rather short once you get the hang of it. There are basically no new weapons here as they are all the same as the first game. I got it and it was fun, but it was also extremely difficult and the cut scenes were of course gone. I remember being in the arcade and seeing this game and its rather funny cut scene where the one Contra guy asks, "What is this place?" Then they put it out on the NES and it was basically a different game.
