Contra ReBirth

Contra ReBirth is a remake of a classic arcade shooter released in 1987 by Konami in a version for slot machines, which didn't knock down the complicated idea of the game - "go right and kill everything that moves" - but it provided many hours of real fun.

The plot of the game has not changed. The hero wakes up on board a spacecraft. It turns out that the aliens have invaded the Earth and our task is to exterminate them. The programmers and designers applied themselves to the graphic layer - the eye is pleased with the very nice looking sprites and, as in the case of another remake from the Konami stable - Gradius Rebirth, new textures.

Hero control is as it was over 20 years ago, of course now using Wii controllers. The character shoots in all directions, jumps, pony, etc., spreading a lot of confusion in the ranks of the enemy. In addition, we can "on the fly" change the weapon to another one. Speaking of enemies, there is a whole assortment of aliens on our way, plus shooting towers, soldiers in strange suits, giant robots or big whirls - old friends from Contra in general.

It should be mentioned that, similarly to his protoplasta, Contra ReBirth is a very demanding or otherwise frustrating position, but it is possible to reduce the level of difficulty and set a maximum of 7 live of our hero. The game is available in WiiWare for 1000 points.
