Ok so I spent quite a few hours playing Super Contra from the Xbox Arcade and let me say this is one of the most frustrating Contra games ever because of it’s insane difficulty. But after many attempts at the different stages and getting a feel for the different guns and where the enemies spawn I completed the entire game over Xbox Live (shout out to my buddy Quildar for beating this with me). As if this hard fought victory wasn’t sweet enough, I checked the Leaderboards for Super Contra and saw we were the #1 & #2 ranked coop players on LIVE.

Here is a shot of the leaderboard.

I know we won’t last long at the #1 spot, but it still is nice to grab the top spot on an Xbox leaderboard. I still have 2 achievements left to complete and they are in arcade mode, so you will catch me playing some more Super Contra real soon.

Full review of Super Contra to come.
