It's quite a game. In fact, I haven't beaten it yet. The furthest I've got is to the jungle, which I believe is the fourth level. But yeah the bosses are tight. It's just Hard Corps is missing: 1) Those awesome top-down segments from Contra III. Those rocked, and 2) while the boss battles in Hard Corps rock, I still don't think they hold a candle to the boss fights of Contra III. Remember that giant thing that ripped open the back of the building in level 3? Or even the first boss, that turtle thing. That, too was pretty awesome. Hard Corps had some awesome battles, as I've said, but the mid boss of the first level looks awesome, but is a joke of a fight. I mean, all you have to do is stand under his eye and shoot up. That's all it takes to beat him!
Bah, I just like both games, I guess...

Heh ive beaten it fully about 5 years ago getting all the endings, and it took about 6hours of play time a day for i dont know how many days of playing to get the timing down to advance get through the stages. I tell ya this if you can beat the jungle youve pretty much beaten the game in a sense because it dosent get too much harder than that but only in a few cases. The alien nest final stage is pretty hard since u have to fight all of those mutated soldiers....that eat each other..and they look like chickens with their heads cut off....... and remember the mouths that spit bullets at you in the walls? The bullets come out SUPER fast from the start. And will probaly kill you. One of the other final bosses is the REAL bitch... the mutated version of the general...his first form is a joke.... but when form 2 comes around.... thats when you start losing lives... wont say no more...
