A great Gradius episode
A lovely game, even after years of its original release the game haven't lost its edge. Its lots of fun playing it alone or with your friend.

The sweet news is you can swap your weapons, arranging for example the laser to be the first choose from followed by options you can do any swap imaginable from the strip of weapons at disposal. Sweet, i like it.

An essential game for any Gradius fan.
This game is pure entertainment for shooter fans. Gaiden nails a perfect balance of serious challenge and plain fun, making it as fun to play as it is rewarding to 1cc, and with four unique ships and two-player co-op, there's lots to explore once the game is mastered. Level/boss design, graphics, soundtrack, control (of course); everything's practically flawless here. Especially at this price, it's definitely a worthwhile purchase. If there's one suggestion I'd make, it's to set the difficulty to "hardest" from the start; it rocks. ;)
