Replay – Contra: Shattered Soldier
Let me warn you right now – we don't spend a lot of time talking about Contra: Shattered Soldier in this episode. It's a great game and one that I have fond memories of playing when it released in 2002, but there were just too many distractions too ignore. We knew things were going to be different when the Replay machine started "calibrating" in the opening moments.
To cover some of the ground we simply never got around to in the episode, Andrew Reiner, Ben Reeves, the voice of Leo Vader, and I take a look at a great Contra reboot for the PlayStation 2. It's a legitimate sequel to the previous games with lots of specific callouts to the Contras that came before it. We also, finally, check in with a missing staff member to find out what happened to them?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
