all games are not created equal

I had actually never played through RCR until earlier this year, but I think I've played it enough to get a good feel for it.  The hard part about this is going to be ignoring those great childhood memories of contra.

Even though Contra is a really simple game, I still find it fun to run through the game real quick.  You really feel like you're dominating everyone and even though it may be easy (with cheating), it's always fun to dominate.  And also, if you failed to do something, it was you're fault and you cant really blame the controls because they are very responsive.

In RCR, there was something that was just kinda clunky with the controls.  It was still fun, but sometimes, you overrun and hit a wall or try to punch someone and miss because you aren't in the same depth into the scene as the enemy.  It was also a simple beat-em-up game, but just didn't have that charm that Contra has.
