Well, I got out the PS2 and tried a little of Contra: Shattered Soldier and Devil May Cry.

Contra:SS is weird for a Contra game. Your character doesn't seem to move nearly as fast as in the other Contra games.

I know DS didn't like some of the gross stuff from SotN. So I'd have to wonder what he'd think of the first boss (well, the first boss I saw) from SS. At first, it looks like the turtle boss from stage 1 of Contra 3, but then its head explodes... and it turns around to reveal that its butt is a giant, gross human (-like) head! But what's really gross is that one of its attacks is a "vomit attack".
I LOOOOOOVE Flying Omelette!!
