Gradius III 12-24-12 03:43 PM

Gradius III This is a review submitted by a long time fan of Gradius III, since it's first arrival on the SNES console back in 1991. The reason I'm taking the time to write a structured review on this game should be obvious. It is one of my favorites, and as an underplayed, fairly unrecognized gem, I feel it's only right to give this game both the highlight and justice it deserves.

The aliens and boss ships make the sounds you'd expect from aliens and boss ships, such as gurgling when your lasers make impact, or exploding when you defeat another battleship. All in all, it's enough variety to keep the game from getting stale. ADDICTIVENESS: 10 I remember being young when this ga... Read the rest of this Review
