Contra3: The Alien Wars Reviewed by Maverick on November 4th, 1998 |

To start off, this game is a classic. Being a young'un, I grew up playing the SNES and this was one of my 1st games to play. I started it up, and played it. I was blowing up cars and nuking people within 5 seconds of starting and knew this was my fave.
After playing the game non-stop since i opened it and beating it, I read the manual out of boredom. I read the plot and it was pretty cool. These Aliens are trying to take over the world again and it's your job to blow the $hiT out of them.
The sounds are loud and cool. unfortunately, The new ZSNES (7.15 at this time) fucks up 30% of the sound including the gunshots. The graphics are pretty decent for a 16 bit side-scroller and if you don't like them, you'll be too immersed in the good gameplay and controls to notice.
In total this game kicks @$$ in every way. Just be sure to turn off sound in ZSNES so it doesn't sound like Elmo's Splish Splash in the Tub (an old, old crappy game for the NES).
