Starting off on TMNT 2, the biggest issue here was that the enemies and bosses you'd encounter in it were ridiculously difficult to beat without dieing some dozens of times at the very least. On the other hand, and this is also not a good thing, you had endless retries. What is the point of the game now? Smash your face against the boss until it drops dead? Plenty of fun there! As the game is fairly short, it just feels like a game where you have to mash the controller buttons X amount of times to win. Junk.
Personally I didn't even try Contra because it just seemed the same as the TMNT version. Horrible compared to the NES version of the game but this time there wasn't an infinite amount of continues. So it seemed more like the aforementioned "Bash the button to win" game but without a preset number of bashes. How cool is that?! I might be exaggerating it a little since there was dodging and jumping involved to aid you in completing the game. Still, not a good purchase as these games are sold for "points" instead of real money so you don't realize they're outrageously priced. The point cost for them was around the equivalent of $5 and even more with euro conversion as the price was also 5€.
As for Metal Slug 3, the description said 2-4 players locally but despite our efforts we were unable to include our third player in the game, which is the only reason we bought it in the first place. So we ended up wasting 10€ on a game we couldn't all play despite being told we could. Thanks a freakin' lot. The game was great though. Not worth ten bucks but still great. Can't go wrong with Metal Slug, unless you want to play it in three-player mode.
Yeah, so why does the Xbox shop description say 2-4 players locally?
