Tristesse said:Ok, you want accurate opinions, let's go:
Music: I don't especially like the music, too slow and sleeping I feel. The sound in itself is really good, great stereo sound but the compositions are not what I would wait from a shooter. It's very personnal, and the fact I have really extreme musical tastes doesn't help.
Graphics: Ok, the good point of the game. Good graphics, really "Treasure-ish". I bet this game has been released on Naomi, right? If not, it's exactly the same explosions and FX.
Gameplay: Bah, I don't like the gameplay, the "choose type" thing. It had nothing more in the game in my opinion. And you need to hold a button pushed to affect the formation of the bits, REALLY annoying.
I won't spend more time in describing what I don't like in this game, it's not worth it. But if you want the main thing I don't like, it's simply the soul of the game, or the lack of soul actually. I plays like soo many other games. Once you finish it, what I still haven't done, I'm sure you put it on a shelf and that's it. No need to speak about the shield thing that makes you invincible during the whole play.
Shield + type 4 rotation = boring to death. Oh, just thinking, the game is too long dammit, and if there's one thing I hate in shmups, it's the too long games.
Anyway, I'm not a horizontal shmup fan so it doesn't help. Don't get me wrong, I like the game in somewhat manner, but this is just that it's flooded among so good shooters around.
So you don't like Gradius 5 because it's too long, but you like Radisnt Silvergun (which is super long)? Gradius 5 plays like other shooters? What other shooter has power ups with selectable option that give you tiny options around yuor ship? Oh yes Gradius does that. Wow Gradius plays just like Gradius, who would have thought. The sheild makes you invinvible the whole play? Shows how much you know, it only takes 3 hits for you. It doesn't make you invincible. You have to press a button to make the options move or spin and that's a bad thing? Are you that lazy that you want the computer to do it for you. Maybe you should play Street Fighter with computer baybsitting that does fireballs for you. The music is too slow? You must have been playing a different Gradius then I did. The music was upbeat and fast.
You must have played a different game then I did, and judging from your statements, you haven't played this game all this much to form a real educated opinion of this game.
