ok this is my second review bit this time its a Wii game specifically a Wiiware Game called Contra Rebirth. I will rate gameplay, sound, story, controls, difficulty, and replay value  THIS REVIEW DOES CONTAIN SOME SMALL SPOILERS ABOUT UNLOCKABLES! So anyway on with the review!

Story 6.0/10

This description of the story comes from gamefaqs.com.

Chief Salamander and his Neo-Salamander Force travel back to 1973 A.D. to invade Earth. They land in Central America and take control of the Shizuoka ruins on the Yucatan Peninsula. There, the aliens plan the destruction of all the "Contra" on Earth. The Galactic President calls on Lance Bean, a member of the elite "Contra" warriors, to save the day, but his sudden disappearance jeopardizes the safety of the planet. Now, Bill Rizer and samurai Genbei Yagyu are the last hope for Earth. They must pick up their weapons and defeat the evil Neo-Salamander Army before all is lost. Experience the fast-paced, action-packed, side-scrolling adventure that pioneered the run-and-gun genre.

Overall the Story like any other contra game so nothing really to new to it

Controls 9.0/10

Controls are pretty much like any other contra game. You can shoot jump and switch between weapons, but more on that later/

Sound/Music 7.0/10

The sounds of the game are a cross between Contra 4 for DS and the original arcade version. Music is pretty well done nothing too special though.

Graphics 8.0/10

Graphics are very similar to Contra 4 so nothing special here either

Gameplay/Difficulty 8/10

Ok game is similar to the SNES Contra III: Alien Wars, by that I mean you can have two weapons at once. Oh and I recommend playing with a Classic Controller or Gamecube Controller because if you don't you will have to set the button to switch between weapons, but still I find it easier with the Classic and Gamecube Controllers. Weapons is where this game falters a bit because there are only 4 weapons Normal Gun (Machine Gun), Spread Gun, Laser, and Homing Missile. This game is also 2 players. Difficulty is pretty much like any other Contra but you get unlimited continues so it's pretty easy, but it can be frustrating. There are 5 levels. Also in the options you can change lives, (max is seven lives) screen layout , and others.

Replay value 7.5/10

Replay value is pretty good considering there is 4 unlockable things. They are:

Nightmare Difficulty - Beat Hard Difficulty

BR-W9 - Beat Easy Difficulty

Plissken - Beat Normal Difficulty

Nightmare difficulty is what makes it interesting because every time you kill an enemy a fire ball and blue orb come out and try to kill you so it makes a a little more replayable .

Overall 8.0/10

If you are a Contra fan and have 10 bucks or 1.000 Wi Points buy it You'll enjoy I think its worth it.
