Video Game Reviews of Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX
Customer Review: Pretty good....well REALLY GOOD!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Its hard to believe no one knew this was on the Genesis, not as good as the SNES version, but still good nonetheless. All the best levels from the SNES and Genesis version (But still only six stages), all the great weapons are back but did Konami really feel they needed to up the difficulty level? I mean the first one was already Hard enough.As mentioned, the best levels from Genesis and SNES are there, and its all in its glory. First of all, the game is still fun. the game also has six levels of pure difficulty with the same hard bosses as before. Some bosses have even been made harder! Also, you can link up and play with a friend if you want.
Now the bad...the music is good but coming out of the small GBA speakers it isn't as good as the SNES version. Also, as I said, Konami decided to up the difficulty level. Now, instead of carrying two different weapons you can only carry one weapon at a time. Even if all the great weapons have returned, you can only carry one instead of two. Second, because of the GBA's screen I suffered from a lot of cheap deaths that could've been avoided, and even though fun, playing as two players is still a little frustrating especially when all these cheap deaths are involved.
Overall this is a good game and a great re-release, but when they say Extreme you sure as hell better believe it.
On the good side
+Still has a good level of difficulty
+Updated graphics
+Combination of the best SNES and Genesis levels
+All those wonderful weapons return
But as with the pros come the cons
-Konami felt the need to make the game HARDER then it was!
-You can only carry one weapon at a time
-Some cheap deaths that could be avoided
The game is still great to play, but it isn't nearly as good as it was those years before
Customer Review: An old school masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a perfect port of the original game for the SNES. Its god old fashioned 16-bit fun. The game doesn't have a very deep story but the action never ends. But don't be fooled this game is hardcore action, and it takes many, many trys to beat it. Some of the old levels have been taken out and replaed with new ones. The controls were very well thought out. As long as youdon't mind the lack of any story line this is the game for you.Customer Review: The Best

Contra has always been a personal favorite of mine.Now GameBoy Advance is coming out with the ultimate version of one of the greatest games ever made.
Contra Advance - The Alien Wars EX is the classic Super Nintendo game Contra 3.
This time however, the gameboy advance version will made even better on this 32-bit system instead of the 16-bit SNES.
This game will also have some extra levels not seen on the SNES version.
Everyone better get ready because this is the game to own.
Konami at it's finest.
Don't think just buy it, you won't be sorry.
