Gradius III review for Nintendo Wii VC or Super Nintendo

Gradius III is owned by Konami, 1991
Warning: some nasty language!

Does this big sequel to the legendary arcade hit live up to the standard or does the annoying slowdown kill it?

Pffft... This game is not that hard... The arcade version is much MUCH MUUUUCH harder than this.

@Quartrez Totally agree, I played that version on the PSP Gradius Collection and it was just insane.

I just got this game for 4 bucks...but man the snes has shitty sprite processing.

@123doomdoom Yeah, I wish the flickering wasn't so bad but the awesome game play saves it at least for me.

well iggyhazard you should try ikaruga even harder then star soldier

[starsoldier1]

Few games are harder then Ikaruga, eh?

[IggyHazard]

I remember getting a real sense of accomplishment out of beating that game.

[crammage]

you sound a bit like tommy chong!

cool man i just got this game

@videogames101com I understand. But you can't really expect much more from it, because its very close conversion of the arcade game. So everything from the arcade was replicated in this Pc engine port.

@123doomdoom Well, that was my Turbo Duo review and I actually rated Gradius II on the Famicom a lot higher. Maybe I just expecting too much from the Super CD version.

Saw ur text review of gradius 2,and u said that its inferior to Gradius3 in terms of Gameplay.I disagree.1rtly,G3 supports lots of slowdown,and that alone hurts it.Also,G2 came before G3,so for me,G3 feels like a lazy rehash of G2 with several reused levels and bosses.Also,I find the level design in gradius II to be much more interesting.I still like G3.But giving G2 65% rating seemed a little harsh to me.anyways.....
