  1. 1. which is the better shoot em up?

    • Contra III: The alien wars(Snes)
      11
    • Gunstar Heroes(Megadrive)
      7
    • I hate both because they are too hard and therefore am admitting I have no taste in videogaming

Contra will always be the best. I remember i basically downloaded all of em last summer because they were that amazing.

 

Apparantly the ps2 version (Contra: Shattered Soldier) was really good aswell; nice to see a franchise holding its ground.

I've only played gunstar heroes(got it on the VC) but not Contra, as I was worried about getting that to play without a CC. I do think Gunstar Heroes is pretty awesome, very unique game, what's Contra got that makes it better?

Better levels, guns, bosses, enemies.

Everything.

the gameplay changes from level to level in contra plus its ten times harder and has better music in my opinion. In the weapons department it might lose though. I fail to see how gunstar is unique. the original contra really invented that style of play. there is also an emphaises on platformering in contra too

Everything.

 

perhaps not weapons but WAYY better levels. Also left out better musicbut you did say everything

At the time it was beautiful graphically, it mixes in great run and gun gameplay with magnificent set pieces, superbly designed levels each of which is markedly different. It's also very very challenging and plays very well.
