Some of the levels (the pseudo-3D and Crystal levels) have been taken out of the SNES version of the game. While the player is able to choose pre-defined categories of weapons and sheilds, it is much more fun to edit your own set of arms to aid you in your conquest, leading to a much bigger sense of strategy than most shooters I have played.Īs with all arcade ports to home consoles, there are some notable omissions. New to the series in Gradius III, was the ability to be able to choose and edit what power-ups and sheilds you have when playing the game. Playing through ten levels with various power-ups and sheilds it is your job to take the Bacterion Empire down and once again gain control of the galaxy. Gradius III has you again taking control of Vic Viper battling against the Bacterion Empire. The third game in the Gradius series and the final Gradius game on a Nintendo console (bar handhelds and Gradius ReBirth for WiiWare) it is a truly perfect shooting experience, combining clever level design with challenging difficulty and addictive gameplay. And for me, the perfect Shooter on the SNES has to be Gradius III. Platforming with Super Mario World, Adventures with the Legend of Zelda, Racing with F-Zero, Fighting with Street Fighter II, the list goes on and on and on. It is amazing to think how many game genres have been perfected on the SNES.
