There were updated versions of little ditties here and there but, for the most part, we are getting all new songs for this game, and that’s pretty awesome.

While it doesn’t have the crispness and clarity of the SNES take on “Contra,” or even the NES for that matter, “Contra: Hard Corps” does possess an original score that continues the tradition of heart-pounding, white-knuckle action that gamers have come to know and love from the franchise. “Contra: Hard Corps” (Sega Genesis, 1994) So what is “Contra: Hard Corps” on the Sega Genesis like?
