Topic: Gradius or Life Force????...

I Heard Life Force is Better Than Gradius...I Have Gradius III and Gradius Galaxies For GBA But I Never Played The Original is it Worth My Trouble or Should I Just Get Life Force?????

LifeForce is the better choice, imo.

Any Reason???

Oh, right. Should've listed the reasons as to why LifeForce is the superior of the two. Sorry. These reasons are:

• it's easier than Gradius, but it's still hard
• the soundtrack is wonderfully excellent
• the play control is better than that of Gradius (the first one)
• when you lose a ship, you respawn at the exact spot you died in (no starting over on checkpoints, or anything else unfair)
• it's got a second quest, should you survive the first one
• the boss fights are really good
• the stage designs are well done
• there are options you can choose from if you collect a certain amount of items
• there is a secret code that grants you thirty lives (but you probably won't need it)

If I remember correctly doesnt the Konami Code work in Lifeforce??

@Tasuki - yes, it does.

@StarBoy Thanks For Stating Your Reasons of Superiority... I Just Downloaded it... Played For Ten Minutes Very Good So Far ...The Konami Code Does Work

@UncleWolf - oh, I forgot: LifeForce also has horizontal and vertical scrolling stages. Glad you're liking it so far.

glad to see you've made your decision, UncleWolf. Next time, please ask for advice/recommendations regarding Virtual Console titles in the VC recommendations thread. thank you :3
