Greatest shooter I've played in years. Hard, great gameplay, and funny as hell.

I commandeered a Yeti. How can you go wrong with that?

I've wanted to pick this one up too. It started out as an indie title and got picked up, right?

Yeah it was a Newgrounds game. Best site ever.

I wasn't overly fond of the game. Got to the level where you had to pilot a spaceship. It's very hard, which I love in shooters, but it got boring and very repetitive with the fighting. Yeah, you got to do different things like fly a spaceship, but Contra 3 this is not

There's multiple spaceship levels. If all you got to was level 1-5, then you're missing a hell of a lot.

It's a cheaper game now, about $20 Cdn, I might give it shot if I see it again. It was fun, just got very repetitive

It's actually rather short, but it's fun all the way to the end. The minigames also rock.

I'll have to beat it on Hard, I only beat it on Medium. In addition, I've got about half the hats still yet to unlock, so that's another goal.

Given that it's cheap now, it's worth the price, IMO.

I played the Flash version, and the difficulty was fairly Megaman-level of insane. Reminds me of the Metal Slug game I played a week ago, where they base your progress on the number of continues used.
