    This game is fine and fun at times. If you can get a partner online or local, it'll be a blast! But if you don't it can be boring, so I've decided to give this game a 7. Get this game if you want, it's a downloadable, so don't expect much, just expect this as a more futuristic type of Metal Slug.

    Great Manga-style cel shaded graphics decorate what is underneath a fairly generic run & gun platform blaster. It's not as varied and frenetic as some of the earlier Contra games (Alien Wars springs to mind) but it has its moments and does look great.

    The worst part about Uprising is the lack of balancing. The weapons you'll get and the difficulty don't add up, making it extremely difficult to finish the game. For those that like a challenge, Hard Corps: Uprising just might be the thing they're looking for.

    Hard Corps: Uprising is bar none one of the best side scrolling shooters of this generation. It's slick, intense, and a lot of fun.

    Deeply frustrating lack of checkpoints holds it back from retro greatness. [June 2011, p.103]
