    Looks like an easy pass despite my love for Contra. Thanks for the feedback on the game Metalcasket and everyone for confirming it. Granted it was said early in the thread that the controls were bad... but then there was hope that by time it released world wide it would get tweaked.

    Anyway, onto other games.

    I thought it was already decided that controls and consumable IAP push were crap when this release just in the Chinese store and people had added to your feedback about it then! Not to knock these developers or generally Chinese developers, but I wasn't expecting anything to be significantly improved with the worldwide release. As a Contra fan, I pretty much expected this release to be poor with no improvements made for the worldwide release... And that's an admittedly sad expectation really...

    Well, I hope some of you find enjoyment with it. As for Apocalypse Max (or was it Max Apocalypse?), I agree, that is a fun alternative!

    Cough............BluTrol...........cough, cough. Seriously, icade controller (or many other supported controllers, like ps3 controller) and BluTrol let's you play with a controller, as Contra should be played. This game has polish, but seriously, how the hell would anyone play a game so dependent on precise controls on a touch screen?

    *NOTE TO APPLE*
    It's time. You've waited long enough. Unleash an official game controller!! Seriously......the iPad would be a gaming BEAST with controller support!
     
  10. Well, that's a dollar saved for now

    This looks beautiful! Some will probably miss the retro graphics, but this game is still tough as nails! The controls have a lot to be desired and cause me tons of unnecessary deaths while trying to jump and the diagonals are hard to pull off consistently, which pisses me off greatly. Come on, Konami, fix this!! It's not like you're some indie developer! Handle it, for crying out loud!!

    Konami didn't handle the port or the publishing... It was a more indi developer.

    Yeah controls blow big time for this. Hopefully they will support the Caliber Advantage controller case. That should make this awesome...

    I don't know if the fact that I'm a huge contra fan it's blinding my opinion, but seriously I'm really happy with this game right now. As I said I prefer the 2nd pad controller over the default. Also, all contra games are like that, they're not supposed to be easy (like Amax. )

    I think I'd prefer Super C on iOS.
    That'd be nice, but with shattered soilder's graphis. Or just shattered soilder.

    What's with the ridiculous posts? It's like people are texting from a phone from the 90s. Embarrassing

    Anyway. Bought the game. It's 'okay'. Could do with some tweaks for sure. Glad it's finally hit our stores. Glad it's only a dollar
