Gradius III and IV, like the title says, is two games. III is VERY similar to the SNES original and soley worth it!!! It also includes part IV, which I'm not too fond of. IV tries to, unsuccessfully in my opinion, add new dimensions to the gameplay of the original. After purchasing the game, I realized that I actually bought it for part III alone anyway. So the dissapointment of part IV not only came as no surprise, but was lessened immenseley by the memories part III bring back. Any "old school" Gradius (or Life Force) fan will thouroughly enjoy this game. I am looking forward to buying part V in the series and hopefully the yet unnamed Gradius in development for the PS3!!
