IGN Reviews: Contra III (VC)

Contra III proves that priorities have shifted in the industry over the past 15 years – for a new title to ship with only six levels today would be laughable. But the six levels that are here are jam-packed, focused and a lot of fun, especially when played together with a friend. They're also tough as nails, especially on the more extreme difficulty settings, so getting through to the end may take a lot of trial, error and repetition of the same half-dozen stages. If you don't mind a shorter shooter and aren't frustrated by a true challenge, cash in your Wii Points – 800 will get you a ticket to a war-torn tomorrow. (But not 30 lives when you get there.)

Score: 8.0
