with the smoothers on and whatnot this game is much easier to digest visually...I actually like playing it now more than contra III SNES....its no shattered soldier, but it may be a little better than neocontra and on par with Contra coinop in many ways.
Now Contra Legacy of War I still cant fully recommend...but C: The Contra Adventure has been a good go so far...I just wish it kept score....the 3D parts are like the corridors from Contra coinop X 50 in fun and difficulty.
