Console Arcade: Gradius Rebirth Review
CA writes: "Released in 1985 by Konami, the original Gradius was quite a revelation and hugely influential. It introduced and popularised many features that are still evident in even the latest bullet-crazed shmups from Japan.
As well as being heavily copied by others, it’s a game that has also given Konami a lot of mileage over the years, both in terms of direct sequels, and spin-offs. The fact that most of these follow-ups rarely strayed too far from the original game’s template underlines just how well-executed it was all those years ago. This is a trend that continues with the latest entry in the series, Gradius ReBirth."
