Of course, you'll be able to play two players at once. Also, the selection of vehicles available has expanded to include tanks, jeeps, hover-crafts, helicopters and planes. Other features offered include the choice of four different fighters, each with some weapons unique to him/her.

Let's hope Konami stays away from this kind of cheap ploy. Not much is known about this 3-D Mode, though it looks like what the old NES racing game, Rad Racer, attempted in the past-blurry red and blue images that didn't make anything three dimensional. This option is supposed to provide, ".an intense, lifelike combat experience, when viewed through 3-D glasses," as stated by Konami. Konami wants to take 3-D a step further and make a new visual option. The levels look large and open, but your playing area will stay confined to a linear path. This time though, we'll get to see 3-D textured-mapped environments. The action, like we said, will stay the same as well. The weapons that you'll see remain the same as in older Contras (see Gamer's Edge sidebar). It's mindless and redundant, but hey, it's still fun. Basically, shoot anything and everything in sight. But one thing that remains clear is that Legacy of War will follow the same tried-and-true formula that made the other Contra games so successful.
