Editorial Review:
An evil force has taken over a distant star system and only you can stop it. You will soar through waves of enemy attacks, battling with photon missiles, laser beams, and other weapons (14 in all). All the elements that made the previous Gradius games popular are back, with all-new levels and a dramatically enlarged scale of your foes (bosses can now fill the entire screen). For novice players, there is a new beginner mode and three levels of difficulty so that everyone will be able to enjoy the game.

Rating:  - A perfect choice for shooter fans.
This game has everything that makes Gradius games good, and a little bit more:
Visuals: 4/5
First off, the graphics are top notch, with great looking backgrounds, and some nice looking enemies. Everything has a good amount of detail to it, and the game even looks good when blown up on a big screen, when using the GC adapter. The only complaint about the graphics is that the game is really dark, but if you are using the Advance SP, or if you have a good lighting addition to your GBA (and ... Read More
Rating:  - Two old memories come back for a visit.
One is the Gradius game and the other is arm cramps. That's right children, this game hurts. There's no such thing as Turbo or Rapid fire here. One press of the button makes one shot. You wanna shoot another, press the button again. This leads to some very inventive cradling of the GBA system. I found it best to keep it on my lap, lift my right hand completely off the GBA, and start whacking away at the fire button. With all the enemies that show on the screen, in the later levels, you'll have ... Read More
Rating:  - An insult to Gradius
The older Gradius games were great back in the day, but this GBA version bothered me so much I had to return it. The graphics are below average for GBA standards, but what really frustrated me was the gameplay.
Gradius gives lots of cool and customizable options, but your ship's starting speed is so slow you can't even avoid being hit by enemies with 2-3 seconds to react! Once you can get a speed power up things balance out, but seriously the game is complete frustration trying to dodge slow ... Read More
Rating: - THE OK AND GOOD GAME
My brother got this game and at first hated it. Then he finally started to like it a little more each day until he really liked it. The gameplay is very basic,a space invaders kind of game with boses. The graphics are good. My brother would give this 5 stars, but I think this game is kind of boring.
Rating: - a good game
this is a pretty good game. the graphics are so-sobut gameplay is good and swift. you can switch which type of ship you want, each with different powerups. you can only take one hit before you are destroyed, which [stinks] but then you can get one of two types of shield, forward(10 hits) or surround shields(3 hits). both protect you from anything but crashing. graphics are super, and the controls are simple and changable,surprise surprise. all in all, a great game.
