Rating: - The best Gradius ever but....
if you never played Gradius before be prepared for extreme ownage to your ship Vic Viper T301. After watching tons of youtube vidoes with players owning this I game I finally decided to get it. I'm a fan of gradius games but I never expected it to be as hard as it is. And because of this it challenges the players to be creative in attack and strategy like the old NES and SNES games used to do.
You start off with 4 types of configurations for your VV but after completing the game once ... Read More
Rating:  - A GREAT classic shooter.
I love classic shooters. You know, like R-Type, Thunder Force, and all that stuff. Gradius, however, i've never really liked. The only one that ever held my interest was Gradius Gaiden, and even then, I never put it up on the same level as modern classics as Radiant Silvergun and R-Type Delta.
However, for this installment, Konami got Treasure(Gunstar Heroes, Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun) to produce this game. And it does show! Honestly, I kind of felt like I was playing the shooter genre's ... Read More
Rating:  - Rhapsody in Blue
Let's get something straight right now. In my opinion, Ikaruga is the single greatest shooter ever (and I've played plenty). In terms of timing, graphics, music, and overall feel, it was everything that a shooter should be. So naturally, when Treasure finally got around to their next major release stateside, and it being a take on the brillaint Gradius to boot (the first Gradius for the NES is my favorite side-scrolling shooter), I was giddy with anticipation. The question is, is this another Ikargua, ... Read More
Rating: - best shooter I've ever played
Real shooters aren't made any more. There's the 2 Contra games, but no spread gun = not real Contra. I've played some new stuff like Soul Caliber and Zelda The Windwaker but I didn't think they were that fun. The problem with new games is developers make them for "escape" which is the favorite reason they give in interviews, whatever it means. They should be making them fun. I thought I was getting too old for video games, until I played this.

Rating: - I'm not a Playa, I Just Fly with a Limp.
Here's the low-down. That biological menace that assailed your people once upon a moon (in previous Gradius entries) is back again. It apparently respawned in space, grew itself an appendage army, and is coming to blow your planet a goodnight kiss. Armed with your Vic Viper, you aren't going to take it lying down. Nope, its war, baby, and you're packing heat.
If you're tuning in for a fifth installation to the series, you have probably gotten the gist of the game by now and have the combat ... Read More
