I managed to get myself a copy. It's pretty good. They kept most of the old feel.

One thing, either they ram up the diffuclty of the game or I'm losing touch with shooter games as I pretty much end the game in stage 1 on my first try on normal mode.

I am here I'm there I'm everywhere then again I am just in front of the computer.

I plan on getting it when it hits the US. It looks like the classic, but then has that certain Treasure flair that makes it oh-so-sexy. Plus, I also hear that it plays like Life Force!

Uhm...I guess...play a little more? Unlike some of the other games I've been playing lately (Shikigami no Shiro 2, or ESPECIALLY ESPGaluda) I feel like being familiar with the stages is Gradius gives you a big edge. I only played it for a little bit (spaceships are boring to me), but I really loved the level design.

I think it's much easier in the first few levels than most shooters, as I can clear the first and the 2nd up until the boss on one life.

Well, you know...the graphics in Gradius can only be so good before it ceases to be Gradius. In this case, it's very much Gradius and the Graphics are...realistically...as good as you can hope for. I wouldn't say it looks impressive, but for the type of game it is, it looks REALLY good.
