Gradius V 5 Gameplay

[tranceaddict1980]

If anyone can show me a link to more spectacular game playing skills than surviving that, please put it up - HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?! That's just Stage 1?!

[ignaciojork]

Tight!

[trancelistic]

I loved all gradius series and games like it. But i think my favo stays part 3:)

[inkarupay]

Holy cow man!!! And I thought I was good at this game!! Nice video btw you got skills :)

[regionfree1]

I wish konami would stop fooling around and put this on xbla and psn,with leader borads

[DorkSideStudio]

Awesome... I want this game, pretty expensive for an old PS2 game though.

[SilentHill201]

Such a great game. They should make a Gradius 6.

[niceprince]

i beat this game on normal. was way hard . really miss these games

[AaronDLambert]

Ok, have to put this one on my wishlist, epic boss explosion at the end too, love it

[tonchibear]

You think stage 1 is hard wait until you see stage 10...it's AIDS

[superkeenenbell]

@tonchibear there is no stage 10...

[SephCat74]

Dude, you are good..........

[CornishCreamtea07]

I don't think easy is even in Treasure's vocabulary.

[skezness]

this is the kind of game i'd rather watch on youtube than play...

[BangingZ]

Gradius one of the "Best Shump" ever. I wish to play and owned the game but I can't because I'm only mexican't.

[GamerNinjaX]

I like the Human like screeches when you destroy those alien balls

[ladawg81]

Gradius rules. Best game IMO

[GamerNinjaX]

MAN i cant find this anywhere in New Mexico. It is at one gamestop though. My dad is going to have to take me lol.

[porqueben]

@GamerNinjaX Send me a pm bud, I might be able to help you find this :)

[buckyboy2832y]

What the hell? I clenched my ass so hard when the boss started that rotation thing that I now actually have ass-cramps just from WATCHING the damn thing. Playing it would probably give me an aneurysm. Thank you joshua1riot for savin me from death-by-digital-shooter. That was awesome, and I mean it.

[pseudo20]

Damn.. and I thought Gradius III was hard back in '91...

[GamerNinjaX]

@pseudo20 I thought the original was hard......ok maybe i shouldent go that far, gradius is legendary

[Draedon]

sick...

[lesjeuxaoublier]

difficulty hard.

very beautiffull game, it is the same graphic than ikaruga. i love it

[arevaloanthony]

damn ur gud ^_^

[walter0bz]

shame the ps3 game got canned, a hi-def outing in this series would have been nice, did they ever do a 3d version like r-type dimensions ?

[TIGERMDOTNET]

Yeah he's REALLY good.

The very first time I played this game with my younger brother we were like "YEAH RIGHT!" as the level difficulty progressed. What you should understand is that in these kinds of games, the challenge level is what is the focus of the game.

There is a level of fun factor while overcoming these this kind of a challenge [and believe me...it DOES get harder]--but the challenge facotr is a great deal of the game.

The control this player has is amazing!

F.I.L.,

[Foffano]

Destroy the core? DESTROY THE CORE!?

I know I have to destroy the core, you said me that about a dozen years ago!

[derdude]

whats better? thunder force vi or gradius 5?

[ScorpianViper]

@derdude Well, first of all, do you hate having the enemies fire loads of bullets at you or not ?

If you dont like it, then i suggest thunder force.

If you do, (I doubt it a little) I suggest Gradius V.

[lelouchreaper]

that was quite amazing...

[WumboWarrior]

boy do I hate shooters where you can only shoot forwards. Looks fun though

[MrOtaku87]

To win this game keep pressing the Fire Button.

[1Lotuz]

What in thee fuck

[jagemobe]

damn dogg; is this Ender Wiggin?

[kentzuke]

this is a real game, not that xbox bullshit you can finnish on a night

[foxtweeg]

this game is hardcore, i remember playing it a few years back. pure adrenaline rush pumping action :)

[tee02tee]

Man you put this game on a home theater system, it sounds LOVELY!!!!

[Ichmil]

Do you use slowmotion x 100?

[torm223300]

I've played this one yesterday. It's like I'm playing Lifeforce on the NES all over again.

[OneOfTheGangstas]

nerds

[SH4R9Y]

is this worth £15 ie is it rare?

[VenomFrogX]

Those meatballs go "Woooahh" when they explode lol.

[enevus83]

bbbBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!! :D

[pacogiga]

Holy shit ! This is Fucking hard and awsome !

[AmanOU2be]

Is this on "quit your job" difficulty?

[TIGERMDOTNET]

@AmanOU2be No my friend. You're only half right. ^_^

This game is at "quit your job, start your own career and/or business!" mode ^_^

IF you can complete this video game, you can complete just about anything outside it ^_^

My family and I are testament to that. =)

F.I.L.,

-WAM! DJ, TIGER M

[spiritro06]

music is awesome

[ReverendSyn]

"Destroy the Core!"

THanks for the timely rescue Captain Obvious. What did you think we were gonna do, teach it the Macarena? So glad YOU came along.

[EmbraceTheThunder]

That is an INTENSE game!

[ThePotterman10]

Did you try the Konami Code?

Btw, I bet if you took all the energy it took to present the game on-screen and harnessed it, we'd have a renuable, clean energy source to last us 100 years, it's that awesome!!!!!

[nikirfan]

I have to buy a new PS2, it's broken 2 years ago

[kirbywordy]

me an my bro can't get past the level 2 boss

[Diabl0pl]

Lol...

[checkerknights2]

speed up!

[kuyawell19]

impressive

[Berrymore84]

omg is this really stage one? seems so challenging!!!

[Zeigy]

@Berrymore84 Wait 'til you see stage 2!!

[Bezerko77]

@Berrymore84 This video was not played on the easiest setting.

[BedStuyBro]

@Bezerko77 kinda figured.

[GamerNinjaX]

@Berrymore84 yah so is the first game. havent played it on the nes but planning to get it

[TIGERMDOTNET]

@Berrymore84 It most certainly is my friend. =)

These kidns of games are built to test and challenge the human soul.

One of my elder brothers who has recently been bestowed with his pilot license testifies to the fact that flying an aircraft certainly can provide similar challenges.

However... add to the challenges of flight military operation and space aliens who want to see you zapped to smithereens and you have an idea of suriving this kind of challenge in a virtual world ^_^

FIL,

-TIGER M

[GamerNinjaX]

@Berrymore84 gradius 1 is pretty darn challenging.

[shaz12321]

this is probably one of the best games ever made!

[LOCS20]

they should remake this make for the PS3!

[propuke]

@LOCS20 A further continuation by Treasure would be undeniably great, but a remake would just be nasty.

It still looks & plays fantastic on ps3.

Are the newer (non fully-backward compat) Ps3's unable to run it?

If not just go buy it!

[ZecharaiCloud]

*whistles*......DAMN.......

[MegaPhoenixBird]

This game is £41.95 New on Amazon.

Pretty expensive for a last gen game.

Anyone know if any games like this will be/already are on PS3 (non import)?

[DarkMyst3ry]

Good God man!!! my eyes are effin' bleeding by the insanity of this game!!!! XD

[rodsormen1]

i just bought this game on amazon, and boy is it hard.................practice,­practice,practice

[swelements]

thats insane

[thechainzter]

thunder force vi seems better.....

[ignaciojork]

TIGHT!!! O.o

[HeadlessHorseman2K9]

Ahhh, the joys of eBay. I just got R-Type Final; this is being a swine to get hold of without selling off major internal organs, so I plumped for the former. This looks just intense-crazey. . . and this is just the first level?! Shee-yit! Great vid, dude!

[sasquatsch9]

Awesome game, I´ve got it !!!!

[badassrover]

thanks i will have to go on ebay and get it :)

[badassrover]

what system is this on???????

[hc0halide]

PS2.

[insomniajo]

I bought R-Type Final last week. Looking at this video I wish I had bought this instead.

[MeatMaggot]

Why not get both ;-) ?

[DarkFireBlazze]

he dont play look at video Press start Button lol ... nobish

[CarlCampbell]

That's probably the 2P start ¬¬

[stillmatic03]

after playing G3 for like 2 hours my jaw nearly hit the floor.. i immediately went to look for prices on this... its still going for 50 brand new on amazon!

3:47 looks impossible!

[chinkyaznboi]

never will survive, to used to graduis 3

[AshleyIsAGuy]

Good God, man, I almost had a seizure just watching that. You're a friggin' space PIMP for beating that boss like that.

[NakedSamurai22]

...must.... get..... GAME!!!!!!

[Reingnus]

You are pretty good player.

Eres bastante buen jugador.

[xoxlol]

whooo  cool!!!!! 100% pro

[deuceswild76]

you da man!

[somethinglacking1]

"Shoot the core!" You did a really a good job, considering how relentlessly difficult this game is.

[gjtrue]

Do anyone know what the annoucer is saying at the beggining of the stage after he says: ''Emergency! Emergency!''?

[mpontheair2]

Something about being under attack by the Bacterions. Yeah, it hard to make out what the voice is saying.

[NoWayFolding]

"This station is being under atttack by the bacterions. All personnel are to evactuate immediately"

Then he says something about a battle craft - i cant really make that out.

[arasta9999]

i think i'm done with video games.  i ordered this thinking it would be fun, but its been there done that already just with better graphics.

[voiceofkrull]

Well how much innovation do you expect from a well-established series of games like Gradius, they can't have revolutionary changes without alienating the fans. There are plenty of great shooters out there and so many other genres of video game that you can't just dismiss them all

[NeutronZapper]

What was you expecting? Its Gradius! Just enjoy it for what it is:- A stunning old skool shoot em up.

[nicolasromero1994]

you are very good

[tragomen]

-_-

[lonerurouni187]

For a first boss, he's pretty ridiculous. Ive died countless times at the part where he starts rotating with the lasers and the bubbles from hell.

[tuberoako777]

CRAZY DODGING!!!!

[r33mote]

best gradius ever. thanks treasure.

[tragomen]

...OMG.. thats impossible

[stuarttwentythree]

damn. That looks like a hard ass game

[hylianarmy0]

I think that Ikaruga might a bit harder.

[infesticon]

Radient silvergun in arcade mode.

[Nkatsikanis]

added to my games playlist

[noobsdumb]

what r u talking about? i own this game and i like, never get hit until the 2nd level bosses

[cccristol]

Welp, don't know about you guys, but I'm sure impressed.

[casanovafly2000]

DAMN THAT S THE FIRST BOARD?????

[ankevroon]

Gradius 1 was MY favourite:) It was actually a port I play. Y know, for the NES. The music was AWSOME!

[yesfan951]

Gradius 3 was my favorite

[krls221]

it was me too

[intlDrx7]

the boss is stargate with weapons lol. please let them make more gradius

[trogdor4321]

Wow. and I thought the first gradius was hard 0_0

[lennell2007]

woo how did you not get hit,and this is the first level,it look like the last level,this game looks too hard,but its cool i like it.

[samsombersimba]

Is there an "Easy" setting? O.o

[spiritsA]

We'll still probably die

[PearlJammer07]

I bought this game used. Have not played it yet. Looks like an amazing game.

[EinherjarLeo]

Wow... And that's only Stage 1...

[shatterhandbr83]

you don't need all that many speed-ups. At least not yet. :D

[undeadsaif]

Wow this game is amazing! great gameplay man!

I'm stuck in R-type Delta level 3 too but I just started playing it:P

[VideosbySteve]

Hellz yea. Gradius V is bad-ass.

[xgamer3000]

The difficulty in this game is perfect! Just hard enough to not piss of hard core gamers, but still weed out the noobs!

[kinmanyuen]

damn... this is like a uberupgraded gradius III nice how they keep the original style... the effects are insanely beatifull :)

[edvhou812]

Wow. That looked pretty hard.

[DeepSeaSeamus]

not really

[edvhou812]

you must understand that I don't play games much anymore and suck in general now. Hell, I am struggling to get past level 3 in R-Type right now.

[xgamer3000]

Dude, that's cause R-Type is hard.

[vgmaster9]

Treasure always knows what they're doing.

[dk0bl1v10n]

u got to be fucking keeding me...and this is level 1? sht...

[Pongisan]

You should see it on Very Hard setting, I think this video is on normal. Plus when you beat the game, it loops to the beginning and gets even harder. :O

[Bistol13]

I am gonna buy this game!

[xgamer3000]

Good fuckin luck, it's rare and expensive.

[Invisib0]

It's not that expensive on amazon

[xgamer3000]

It's like 50-20 or so bucks. Normal PS2 games are like 3-15 bucks (PS2 games are cheap)

[doomsday440]

what platform is this game on?

[Bistol13]

ps2

[nermalnermal]

this is level ONE AAAAAAAAAAAaaaa

[Bistol13]

Amazing how each gradius gets more chalenging. This one is insane!

[gorotheone]

Is it expert difficulty or the game is hard as hell?

[drionshk]

this was on "normal difficulty"

it goes up to "very hard"

then when you beat that, it loops back to level 1 and you start over, except its even harder.

[yourtubeyourass21]

looks tough, very tough.

[yourleftnut1]

kinda suck how u cant choose weapons like in gradius 3

[enalvarado]

You can.

[Inuyashathe3rd]

This game looks awesome. Then again, its Gradius so its automaticly awesome. :D

[fato111]

cheater

[talongaq]

Wow... Awesome... Challenge shumps...

Winston Churwill once quoted:

Give us the tool... and we will finish the job...

[Yorkeh]

The music kinda sucks though.... Don't they re-use any of the classical songs?

Still, this looks awesome as hell.

[armydominican69]

yea, that makes the game keep the familiar gradius feel we loved in the oldies, but re-mixed to the point where its juss so awesome and worth listening to again, its juss pure entertainment at its best

[stretchypants123]

Wow, I really like the way the pilot controls the options or his support units to protect himself in the boss fight as well as some sort of rear weapon for defensive tactics. That's genius man.

[l3riani]

i love gradius

but i not become gradius V in shops this is fuck

[Yorkeh]

Your English is crap, mah boi! XD

[bandman232]

OMG I WANT THIS GAME!

[carrierj1]

This clip made me buy this game. It's awesome. I think I'm going to start playing more shmups now.

[roetemeteor]

Just remember the person in this video is a Noob.

You can get 2 or 3 multiples to take down big core in the beggining of stage by only nabbing the multiple option. This nets you the laser at the begginin of the level and the missle when "Attack commences."

Then again, I'm a strategy freak. If I even do the slightest thing wrong in stage two, I totally restart.

[dracmeister]

@roetemeteor

Can't call someone a noob due to their strategy, in this guy's case speed-ups are preferred upgrades on the beginning... Oh well... You ARE a Strategy Freak.

*wonders why replies to 2-year old comment*

[chunli06]

this is some pretty crazy stuff. I want to see some more of this.
