Rented CONTRA for the PS2. I LOVED Contra on the old Nintendo. We used to play it until our thumbs bled. everyone knew the code for 30 free lives (up down up down left right left right B A select start). So i thought i'd try the new one. OH MY GOD. This is the most ridiculously hard game ever invented for the PS2. Wow. If it wasn't for the cheat codes, i wouldn't have gotten past the first stage. Insane.
