Contra should be a familiar name for anyone that?s been kicking around the video game industry for the last 30 years or so. It?s the game that spawned the original Konami Code, you know the one. Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, and then tapping start to begin the game (because Start was never part of the original code, it was just the key to start the game after entering the code to gain 30 lives and I?ll fight anyone who thinks differently). That code was originally called the Contra Code and the first game came out back in 1987. Since, there have been enough Contra games to make a collection containing more than ten of the classic titles, but that?s not the only surprise Konami had for the series.
Contra: Rogue Corps is the next original game in the series, and the first one in a decade. This time around, Contra goes with an top-down isometric view, retaining that Contra chaos through arcadey twin-stick action that would make a Housemarque fan giddy. Contra: Rogue Corps doesn?t involve Housemarque at all, but as I played I couldn?t help think of the studio that once made a name for themselves on this kind of twin-stick shooter. It?s got that slick arcade feel that was once so beloved, and with a name like Contra attached to it, it?s sure to grab some attention.
