GRADIUS GAIDEN!!! I don't even know where to start to
say how AWESOME this game is, it is beyond what any words can describe! I
thought Konami has trapped themselves in their own corner with the mighty
Gradius II, but I guess they are just unstoppable...here goes. First when
I got the game, I quickly opened it and popped it in my PSX, then I gently
sat back and awaiting for the intro...and WOW!!! I said to myself,"...if
the game wasn't as good as I expected, the intro itself is well worth
it!!!" And thats not all, there are 2 different intros including a long
movie kick-off and a story
that zooms out like the Star Wars intro! There are
just too much more to mention!!! Anywayz, I cut the crab. There are many
options in the game including a 'male' or 'female' announcer to
choose from, I personally like the original 'male' announcer, but
once a while changing it to the 'female' one is a nice touch! :)
There are 9 stages total, and they are 'FUN'!!! My personal
favourite is stage 2 - Requiem for Revengers because there are
many old-bosses from the past gradius games all jacked up in the
space dumpster, it's cool. There are four ships total each with their
own different weapons! The complete descriptions and pictures
for the stages, ships, and power-ups are on the bottom. |
