Shin Contra Japan

Making its debut in the arcades in 1987 and, more pervasively, on the NES in 1988, the long-running Contra series continues with Contra: Shattered Soldier for the PlayStation 2. The game maintains its old-school, 2D platforming roots, but is enhanced with 3D polygonal models and unlockable endings and levels based on player performance (such as percentage of enemies killed).
