Neo Contra (PS2) - All Bosses w/ Cutscenes (No Damage, Bikini Lucia)

the only sureal of this contra, is not the history, or the enemies, even the bosses, its the fact you run over the helicopter blade, and even, roll over that

[@TKUltra971]

this game was so nonsensical yet so enjoyable. even the cheesy opening song. The PS2 era was a time of creativity and experimentation before all the games became walking simulators clones with the same 3rd person shooter elements and weird ass ugly faces.

[@MegaYoYo]

This is something that I miss from that generation. We got IP's such as Godhand, katamari damacy, Neo Contra, ect. It was a beautiful time to wonder. I sound old but those days were better

[@IrishKyokushin]

PS2 was the peak of gaming.

[@Imagocorporation]

LOL, 3D faces have always been ugly, it's 3Ds roots. 😳 You have to have lots of ugly 3D people to get some occasional nice ones.

@IrishKyokushin Hahaha, nyet.

[@DoktorSammich]

I’ve only ever played Contra III and Hard Corps Uprising, and I had to watch this. It’s so impressively cheesy. How did I never play this? I would have adored it.

It's straight up bonkers! It's a fun game overall

Operation Galuga is a lot of fun! It does not match the wackines of Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra though

[@taninsuwannatri8411]

The best 3D Contra game!

100%

[@CatEnthusiast-gr3cv]

Shattered Soldier will always be number one to me.

[@MegaYoYo]

Shattered Soldier is great. Gets super intense toward the end

[@AberrantChibi]

These are some very interesting boss designs. It's rather impressive how some of the earlier bosses seem to foreshadow the final boss. It's funny how silly things get occasionally though. XD

[@MegaYoYo]

The sillines is the best part. Animal Contra is just straight up a dog. With some animal puns included

[@AberrantChibi]

@@MegaYoYoAnimal Contra I can understand, maybe even anticipate. Hyper agitated running because you're doing so _atop of the blades of an active helicopter_ less so. But the surprise keeps things fresh.

[@VLADIMIR007ISH]

Its a mix of Metal gear Solid 2 and Castlevania from KONAMI work

[@xwf1000v3]

Played this game as a teen & tried to beat it with Gameshark but couldn't beat Shin Master Contra. That means I'd never beaten the game & could never beat the game with a 100% either.

@@MegaYoYo Maybe to you but I always Consider Contra to be Hard whatever it is. I'd always loved the Contra: Hard Corps game on the Sega Genesis.

[@MiShiMa_YuRi0]

Aliens' backstory was revealed in the previous game, "Contra: the Shattered Soldier" ("Shin Contra" in Japan). Contra aliens are a biologic weapon of some super-advanced alien race. Their creators abandoned our dimension long ago but left some powerful artefact on Jupiter. "Weapon" aliens were left as an anti-theft system for it. And human still stole it, making aliens angry...😂

[@MiShiMa_YuRi0]

In the "C:tSS" game world was ruled by the evil Triumvirate, who wanted to use the Artefact for their own purposes. They finally did it, but all three merged into one metamorphous deity as a result. This deity is a true final boss of "Shattered Soldier". Or bossES, as it has many forms and must be defeated multiple times. In other words, monsters are nearly innocent in the original story. As well as many humans who died, they are victims of 3 old farts who wanted super power. And exactly in this game they still are a biological weapon, but now used by Master Contra (evil clone of Bill Rizer and final boss).
