4/9/2023 0 Comments Gradius 2 powerpakThis game touts some improvements that I liked alot. You can get alot of stuff like that, four multiples, lasers, missiles, shields, so you pack heat. I'm a Type 4, with rotating multiples, because they work like a secondary shield against biological weapons. In this installation you have four types of combinations, and they're quite good. You're doing it to save your people! (3) You don't go it without weapons. Some boards are like flying into a tempest and some bosses are like facing planets with a gnat, but remember that you aren't doing it for you. It's an old concept that is beautiful, and it can be hard if you expect instant gratification. A lot of enemies that you run into have gimmicks, and you simply have to figure them out. A projectile can either be stopped by a shield you've acquired or left to run its own course. Biological(s) aren't bad but they can get heavy, but you can take them out with special weapons like multiples (to be discussed) easily. In this assault you have two basic types of projectiles (a) biological and (b) projectile. You have a lot of boards that make you assail enemies in a variety of positions, and sometimes the ground doesn't sit still and take it. While many newer-series games aren't as technical about how close you can get to something, Gradius is very unforgiving when it comes to close-quarters killing and how good you have to be. This, after all, isn't a game you walk through without testing the proverbial waters. So, you have to perfect your flying a bilities and you have to be calm when playing. (1) You side-scroll (although it's a shame to call such tasty graphics side-scrolling) and attack enemies, to the point where the sky seems to sometimes erupt into bullets. If you haven't, the concept is really simple. If you're tuning in for a fifth installation to the series, you have probably gotten the gist of the game by now and have the combat controls down. Nope, its war, baby, and you're packing heat. Armed with your Vic Viper, you aren't going to take it lying down. It apparently respawned in space, grew itself an appendage army, and is coming to blow your planet a goodnight kiss. That biological menace that assailed your people once upon a moon (in previous Gradius entries) is back again. If it werent for the whole "power ups" situation I maght have given this game a 5/5. So, yeah, this game is good but not great. Check out some of the top video game sites online, and youll find it. There is a code for this game though for "instant" power ups I guess you could say. It just adds a little more work that distracts from the gameplay. Thats probably the most frustrating part of all. Once you get hit and die, you lose all your power ups. I also dont like how you can power up your weapons array buy obtaining power ups through out each stage. What I dont like about this game is that its really difficult. If you loved that game, youll feel the same about this one. It reminds of a similar title I have for gamecube entitled "Ikaruga". But if you dont like shooters this isnt for you. I love these types of games no matter how difficult or frustrating they may be. What I like about this game is that its a shooter.
