Gradius III is one of my favorite games on the SNES, so it pains me to give the arcade original such a low score.
The good:
Fantastic soundtrack
Excellent graphics
'
The bad:
Insanely, unfairly, brutally, impossibly difficult
No continues. None. Lose all your lives, that's it. Game over.
Terrible slowdown at times, especially in the giant bubble stage
'
Only recommended for classic arcade shoot-'em-up fans who are much more skilled than me. I don't understand how a human can complete this game!
