I only played it once (too addicted to gears of war) but we made it through the waterfall stage fine.

Worked totally fine for me. Played through multiplayer co-op 2 times yesterday without a hiccup.

Contra is kind of craptacular. Or at least, I can't stop playing Gears of War to pick it up.

I never was a big contra fan anyway until I found the Code.

I'm ready for small arms, roboblitz, and of Castle Crashers.

Yes it's broken a friend and I tried to do co-op multiple times last night and it would glitch around the first tunnel. I was still able to get the achievements tho.

why even bother with contra when gears of war is out now !!

Probably because Gears is overrated. It's getting top 5 game of all time scores and not one person I know has said it's the best game they ever played by a longshot. Gears = Good but not nearly as good as the reviews claim it is. The hype is not real.

Player 2 has 8 lives remaining? Is that normal or was someone cheating?

I wish you knew how pathetic you come across. Do you not realize how many people have already seen and played this game and know you're talking BS? You're preaching to the choir. Don't worry, the 360 and Gears won't put your PS3 and/or Wii out of business. There is plenty of room for all 3 consoles... right on my shelf.

No problems here with Contra co-op.. maybe jealous Sony fanboys?

Dam I been missing contra becuse Gears of Wars is too dam addicting.

You sound just like a Sony Fanboy, everione knows that You are hurt, You are mad, You are angry, and most of all Your jelousy is transparent like a cristal, we all know you been crying your self to sleep ever since Gears was reviewd and it delivered, go back and cry your self to sleep in to another lonely night waiting for your beloved PS3.

Hey 'me' - you say 'not one person has said it's their favourite game of all time' - um, you do realize it's been out for a grand total of about three days, right?

p.s. you're an idiot.

lol You can make fun of this guy too. COD3's multiplayer annihilates Gears by a landslide. Pretty graphics not greater than gameplay

"I'm not talking about my tastes, I'm just saying, when you go to metacritic and you see a 96 for Gears of War, then you read the critics saying, 'Okay, storyline - there's none, gameplay is not innovative...' Then I say, why did they give this 96? They were blown away by the high quality of the graphics... Myself, I prefer something more creative," Tascan concluded.

They used the Konami code for the 30 lives, I'm assuming. Even though that wasn't in the original arcade version, it was added in for nostalgia sake, I suppose.

I did experience this on the waterfall stage in online co-op. It was his first few times playing and I was talking him through some of the shortcuts and tricks, and it became apparent he and I were looking at two different screens, about 5-10 seconds apart. He had died on my screen, but was still playing in actuality. I thought it was because I jumped too far ahead and killed him at the bottom of the screen, he was lagging and kept playing until his lag caught up and was told "your dead cause player 1 jumped too quickly" and he died mysteriously.

It was really strange. I'm glad it wasn't just me. I still really enjoy the game though. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing.

At what point do you enter the Konami code?

I thought they asked about Contra not Gears. In any case I havent played iether of em. Im too busy working.... :( Pootie 2 still works fine for me.
