DEPTH: 7 There's not a whole lot you can find in this field either. If there was a single gripe I could make, it'd be that Gradius III didn't offer more background before launching you into space. However, this leaves many questions unanswered. ![]() The galactic empire spent a Hundred-Billion dollars to craft your ship and it's up to you to put its weaponry to the ultimate test. As far as I can conclude, you're a Gradian pilot from a planet called Gradius about to embark on a heroic journey to save mankind from bacterial-aliens. STORY: 5 There isn't much going for Gradius III in the story compartment. Even after so many years have passed, it's still honestly one of the funnest games I've ever played, and I find myself coming back to play it again and again. After it was beaten, I wanted to start over and beat it another way, taking full adventage of the games expansive arsenal. The game immediately captured my imagination, because at that moment I've never been entranced and involved in a video game to this extent. ADDICTIVENESS: 10 I remember being young when this game came out, and popping it into my SNES console for the first time. All in all, it's enough variety to keep the game from getting stale. The aliens and boss ships make the sounds you'd expect from aliens and boss ships, such as gurgling when your lasers make impact, or exploding when you defeat another battleship. The sound effects include your lasers being shot, with each individual laser having its own distinct sound. From beginning to end, music is a treat to the ears. The introductory music when you pick and choose your battleships arsenal is epic and upbeat, giving you the sense that an epic adventure awaits. It definitely has that outerspace vibe, yet this gaming gem offers players a different musical piece each level of the game. Konami did a solid when they orchestrated the music. And this coming from an avid gamer, that says a lot about a game that's 23 years old. SOUND: 10/10 No question, Gradius III has the best music/sound track out of any game I've ever picked up. When you're not fighting aliens on different worlds, you're flying through space to get to your next location, which helps players get into the feel of piloting a battleship. You have a selection of scroll-by worlds that your battleship will explore and conquer from deserty terrain to lush green jungles, each world offers its own distinct feel. That being said, for its time, this game's visuals are stunning. Gradius III was released originally as an arcade game in Japan back in 1989. ![]() GRAPHICS: 8/10 Let's go ahead and start with the graphics. It is one of my favorites, and as an underplayed, fairly unrecognized gem, I feel it's only right to give this game both the highlight and justice it deserves. The reason I'm taking the time to write a structured review on this game should be obvious. Therefore, you need to be familiar with the terrain of your team.Gradius III Review by: The_Greater_Zion - 9/10 Gradius III This is a review submitted by a long time fan of Gradius III, since it's first arrival on the SNES console back in 1991. The levels are not full of roses to help you easily win but filled with thorny looks. The game uses a horizontal scrolling combat system with a display screen in the direction the character moves (left to right). With this mode, you can optionally combine the installation of given weapons into another hybrid weapon. Besides, another new mode is added, that is the editing mode. This version continues to maintain the same equipment as in previous versions. Here, you will control the Vic Viper ship from the perspective of a third person. There is a unique level of the 3D simulator and also was first launched in this version is level 4. The game gives you a total of ten levels with levels ranging from easy to difficult. ![]() To do this, you will need to control Vic to win all the confrontations between the two sides. Your mission is to prevent the attack of the Bacterial empire. The dark empire Bacterial is constantly invading galaxies, and this time, their purpose is the planet Gradius. Join Gradius III, and you will play the role of a pilot controlling an aeroplane named Vic Viper. The game belongs to the role-playing fighting genre. Konami continues to launch new parts of the Gradius series before the success of the previous versions.
