Parodius Da! SNES Review by SuperViperT302 SuperViperT302
In 1990, Konami released an arcade game called Parodius Da. Later, they re-released it for the SNES. I will now be going over my scores.
Graphics: 8/10
Konami did a good job with the graphics, comparing to the arcade version. The game's physics are MUCH better ported then Gokujou Parodius. But some background textures are funny, and the background for the stage 8 (underwater) boss is wrong. Overall, nice rendering.
Sound: 9/10
Some music tunes are better than the arcade version, some are a bit worser. All themes are very well ported overall. The tune is correct (unlike Gokujou Parodius) and the pitch is close to correct (unlike Gokujou Parodius). The new music is awesome!
Addictiveness: 7/10
There are other games I'd rather play than Parodius Da. But I still like this game, despite not being like the arcade version.
Story: 3/10
I could care less for Parodius's story. There doesn't seem to be one here.
Depth: 6/10
There are 11 stages, including the 10 from the arcade version. The added bathhouse stage is cool, and the Omake Stage is FUN! The layout of the stages is pretty much identical to the arcade version.
Difficulty: 6/10
The easier difficulties are okay, though Normal and higher is extremely crazy. Good luck!
Overall: 9.5/10
I enjoy Parodius in general (aside from the MSX and Jikkyou Oshaberi) so I recommend it. Be prepared for craziness!
