Where is that pretentious bastard, anyway? He hasn't posted in months.

Anyway, this is a disappointment, but I was never that interested in the game. Border Down and Gradius V should be much better.

I like using the TX-T in stage 6 myself. That ship has one nice "grenade" styled Beam shot, and its blue Force weapon comes in handy. Most of the time I'll use the R-9A.

You have to use the R9-A3! It has three levels of beam as opposed to the R9-A's two.

saw the first 3 levels of the game being played today, looked great. good music, great style on a lot of the enemys, and awesome backrounds.

dunno what you guys were talking about when you guys said it didn't look nice.

gameplay seemed alright too. nothing special, but it seemed to hold up.

Well graphically the rotating backgrounds and patterns are a bit weird sometimes. Like a winamp plugin.

I just wish there were only 8 ships at most and arcade roots. I doubt the first level would be so conservative if the game had started on Naomi.

It does look nice, but the first stage sorta let me down (too many gaps in the action there) and the overall wavery effect in stage 5 drove me a tad bonkers- I'd rather have had only the background be wavering in stage 5.

Stage 6 is my favorite one of the whole game. The boss battle has an interesting spin on it- you will go right inside Gomander (that 2nd stage boss of the original R-Type) and blow it up from the inside out).

Yeah it's not usually a good sign when an arcade series switches to console. Can work though (Gradius Gaiden). I still have high hoped for Gradius V since from what I hear it doesn't pussy out on the difficulty.

Yeah, but delta was brilliant, and it was only for the PSX.

I got the R9-A3 (ladylove) one.
