"Crime ran rampant through the streets, but Harold and Benny played every club and dive to spread that sweet sound of music to every ear that could hear.
However...
Crime breeds fear, and fear feeds the dark. The ghosts and ghasts reach out and eat more than the boys can beat! When music alone can't stop these bad bones, it's time for a little balacera!"

If you like the Contra/Probotector games, then I highly recommend this game. GAMEPLAY: The game plays like the Contra/Probotector games. Which means: running from left to right, shooting bad guys as you go and avoiding hazards and pits. You can do this alone or with a second player. You can collect various types of weapons and hold two of them at a time. However, if you die, you will lose the weapon that you were using. The game has six stages. Each stage getting more difficult than the last. Difficulty: The game can be quite difficult when playing it for the first time, but with enough practice, you'll breeze through the enemy hordes like a pro. The game offers three difficulty options: Easy, Normal and Hard. If you are new to this type of game, then try Easy to get familair with the game. If you are somewhat experienced, then go with the Normal difficulty. If you feel like a pro, then go do Hard difficulty and see if you have what it takes. MUSIC: The music is quite catchy and nice to listen to when you're shooting your way through the stages. THEME: Looking at the two main characters, you can tell that the game has a Blues Brothers kinda theme going on, which is something you don't see a lot in games and is quite charming. The sprite work in this game is amazing. From the two main characters, to the enemies and stages. Nothing is out of place. CONCLUSION: This game looks great, feels great and is just a joy to play. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of this type of game. Go grab a friend (or not) and go blast some skeletons. If I have one negative thing to say about this game, it's that the game can feel kinda short once you get good at it. But like other games in the genre, you'll be coming back for more because of the sheer fun. Go try it.

Nice game! Nice music!
22块钱原价买的仿魂斗罗游戏,打折可能也就几块钱,这个价格我很难对他有什么不满的点,可能反派坏的过于直白算个缺点吧(哪有人直接在门上写上反派巢穴的啊!)boss难度做的不是很均衡,美杜莎石雕明显比后面所有boss都难打,她一个人有三种攻击方式,最终boss甚至只有一种机关枪扫射,对比起来美杜莎更像最终boss。而且美杜莎的攻击不是很好躲,我的方法是站在最边缘的位置,蛇头的子弹是打不到这个位置的,蛇头移动过来的时候跳起来躲一下,这个可能要浪费几条命掌握一下节奏,然后利用蛇头移动的时候跳起来射击,石化光线就硬吃然后挣脱,这样虽然要花点时间刮痧刮死,但是可以保证不浪费太多生命在这个boss上,比较稳健。
Good Contra-like action.
