Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Every console system pays homage to the past, even as consumers leap into the future. The Dreamcast hosted various Midway and Namco arcade packages, and there was the famous (or infamous, depending on how you feel about 2-D space shooters) GigaWing. Sony and Konami are getting into the act by bringing the Gradius series to PlayStation2--at launch, no less. While it gives many, if not most, people a significant "warm, fuzzy" feeling to revisit the past, one can make a strong case that developing a PS2 version of Gradius III & IV was more about padding the launch lineup.

If you're a fan of the side-scrolling-shooter genre, however, this edition likely will please you. It has almost everything that a trigger-happy arcade hound could want: rapid-fire framerate, lots of color and animation, and that wonderful '80s feel. It also has some of the glitz that younger video game fans demand, such as two completely new CG intro videos that look pretty dang cool.

Konami has pulled out all of the stops in revamping the look of the gameplay, too. The two games now are quite polygonally charged and texturally sophisticated. The graphics now use environmental mapping, and polygon morphing makes the animation very smooth. Another nice feature, especially for a game like Gradius is that a stage-selection mode and a continue feature have been added to allow players to go back to wherever they want to start over, revisit, and/or practice a tricky spot.

While it might not register in the minds of those of us who are addicted to high-profile launch games like Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore, Gradius III & IV might be good to buy for casual gamers of all ages and skill ranges, since Konami has added modes for beginners and advanced players. Everyone from granny to baby brother should be able to pick up this title and thrash right out of the box. --Todd Mowatt

Pros:
  • Enhanced gameplay nostalgia
  • New stage-selection and continue features
Cons:
  • Appealing to casual gamers and fans of the genre only

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Regression - extremely disappointing
When I saw that there were PS2 adaptations of Gradius III and IV, I was extremely excited, having seen friends play Gradius V in times past. This disc is NOT an adequate substitute for Gradius V. The games appear to run in an emulator at low resolution without any new graphics whatsoever.

A previous reviewer has the idea: the SNES version of Gradius III is far better. This version actually has fewer weapons and options! Furthermore, I don't know if this is related to my config or what, ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Gaming has gone back to HELL!
Hello, im a reviewer, who not only makes rude and spiteful comments about games, but make the people that buy these games, feel completely stupid, and useless.

First things first, i saw a friend play Gradius 3 on a SNES emulator, and i laughed on how stupid it was. I thought to myself, this is another ripoff of GALAGA, or somethin. Now that was a great game.

The graphics aren't bad, while the gameplay makes up for it. The gameplay,was, uhhh......Boring. U do the same ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - For fans of oldschool shooters, this is PURE GAMING HEAVEN!
Gradius III & IV(2000). A PS2 collection of two classic arcade space shooters.

Back in the 80s and early 90s, space shooters were a very popular breed of arcade game. The first many didn't offer much more than just firing at endless ships over and over again, but several others opted to add something unique to the formula. 1985 saw the introduction of Gradius, a game where you controlled the Vic Viper space jet through many challenging levels full of aliens, robots, and varying terrain. ...
