The underrated games of the Ps3 / Xbox 360 : Hard Corps Uprising

Genuine prequel of the Megadrive/Genesis épisode released in 1994, Hard Corps Uprising is a worthy return to the sources of the genre. Konami, having a habit of having their illustrious series developed by apprenticeship studios, nevertheless has the gift to question us when deciding to entrust their last project of revival to Arc Systems. Not used to this genre, but excellent in the fighting game (Guilty Gear, BlazBlue ...), the production studio raises the questions in front of a tradition well anchored in the heart of the players.

Arc System has understood it, to restore the blazon of a mythical series it is necessary to know how to make new with a gameplay proved. And it is clear that the mission is accomplished in a subtle way. Besides the scoring system, welcome and bringing a new challenge, the creators of the series of Guilty Gear have infused a nervous and innovative gameplay, straight from their own productions without however distorting the very essence of the playability of long line of Contra. Appearances of "dash" on land and in the air, use of the "reflect" to return opposing shots, multiple dodging, in short you understand, developers have brought their lots of novelties, integrating diabolically well and giving an exhilarating aspect of the thing.

It is certainly exhilarating, but devilishly difficult. Yes, a good Contra is above all a game that puts your nerves to the test, which at first sight will give you the impression of participating in a test whose conclusion is inaccessible to ordinary mortals, Elite or any other experienced player and amateur of superhuman difficulties. In the case of Hard Corps Uprising we have crossed this line which separates two distinct categories of players and for once I will not play the integrity but plebiscite this game to a bunch of players.

This is my whim, an indescribable thing that one feels when one is amateur of this competitive state of mind between the man and the game. Hard Corps deserves to draw the substantial marrow and it is during These experiences where one feels changed, this feeling of satisfaction even to have fulfilled an ultimate challenge that the average gambler would not understand in his universe of soporific titles and assisted even in the least of his actions ... Good Lord, What is it hard, but what is good !!!
