Great review as always. I too don't like the Parodius games all that much - just too fucking weird really. I love Japanese craziness but graphically they are garish at best, nausia-inducing rubbish at worst. The gameplay is plain average too.
I'm not a huge fan of the Gradius series either. The critically acclaimed V is great for the first couple of levels, then it gets all organic and weird itself, and then gets really annoying. The GBA Gradius is much better, but its no R-Type.
just got parodius portable,snes /ps1 ones are childhood memories,highly recomment rayman origin mattie(if i may call u that,*) one third of that game is oldskool sidescrolling handdrawn shmup stylie,mie likie very muchie,*)
Controversy! Ha ha each to his own mate, I liked it a lot but it does do some weird shit and definitely feels different to to test of the series. Currently playing a load of sexy Parodius so I look forward to your thoughts on the game
Hehe, im not a massive fan of the series either. Parodius on the snes was my first ever shooter though. Be good to see you in the league mate.

This was a Saturn release??? The graphics are more on par with the PCE.

Matt you're a cock so deal with that and then we can move on regarding your totally incorrect Parodius scores! :-D

You couldn't turn off the voice? Oh, good to know.
In the SFC and PSX versions there is an option for that.
So i keep my PSX Version :)
