This game got everything right except the things that would make it fun to play. Graphics: 8/10, Music: 10/10, Sound: 9/10, Gameplay: 3/10. Sound can be a bit cheesy, music is great, graphics are beautiful but enemies and bullets mix too well sometimes. The ship controls poorly (accelerates to movement, decelerates to stop, making navigation difficult), and the weapons and combo system are unrewarding. On the plus side, the limited set is cheap now (~$10). Hopefully the sequel will be better. :)
Sorry if you don't agree, that's my opinion. The gameplay is horribly designed. When you die because you run into a bullet hidden behind a screen-sized explosion, or lose 90% of your life by hovering over a gun turret that looks no different from the background graphics, or can't navigate a screen filled with bullets because your ship controls badly, the gameplay is bad. I've played bad Genesis shooters that play better than this, and free shooters that play much better. 3/10 is being honest.
they just wanted to bring back the that old style of gaming because really have you seen any of the new systems with games like these? some people miss these kinds of games and sometimes the only time i can ever find these was in the arcade which is now gone thanks to LA Fitness -.- for 9.99 i think its gud
scroll games like Raiden are harder than it looks. its actually more on score than anything else. being able to catch patterns is another thing. creating your own sequence is also part of high scoring. theres more to it than smashing one button.
looks bad ass

Oh shit it's a perfect combination of Darius, R-Type and Gradius.

i`m pissed off that i spent money on this cheesiness. I actually deleted it off my PS3 in anger.
I`ve got 20 year old C64 and Amiga shoot`em ups that are more exciting than this.
Please, Sony cut the crap and sort out a HD Gradius 5 (or any Gradius) for us.
