Gradius V
When
it comes to classic shooters it doesn’t get much more classic than the
Gradius series, one of the pioneering schmup titles of the post game
industry crash world, not to mention the origin of the infamous Konami
code.Now the series is
about to get a new installment on the Playstation 2 that combines 3D
graphics with the old school side scrolling sensibility Gradius has
become known for.
In
a lot of ways Gradius V is adhering to space shooter conventions with
lots of power-ups, huge bosses, and even bigger explosions, but what
will make this game stand out from its
predecessors is that this
time
around players will be able to control the options flying around the
ship with the right analogue stick on the Dual Shock controller.
But
what a lot of people will probably notice right out of the gates is how
amazingly pretty the game looks.If
Konami has an ounce of sense they’ll make sure that Gradius V has a
free dribble bib packed in with it, because at this stage in development
the game looks very good.
Features:
-
Spectacular 3D graphics ・the
best looking Gradius Ever
-
New Option Controls feature

adds depth and gameplay
-
7 expansive levels of exciting shooting action
-
Classic Gradius action with new features and inspired level design
Unfortunately
we still have a little bit of waiting to do before Gradius V hits store
shelves in February of next year, but on the bright side we could
possibly have a very high quality game on our hands in the middle of the
post-Christmas slow period if Konami really brings this project
together.
