@Blunty51: I'm not very good at giving scores, but I think it deserves a 7 out of ten; mostly for easing up on the difficulty significantly compared to the rest of the franchise, but it's also kind of short and if you've played a ton of Gradius it may seem dull since it summarizes the series as a whole rather than trying to tread new ground, with just a few new levels thrown in (and some modifications of pre-existing levels). The music is absolutely fantastic though, and really gets you in the mood for shooting cores.
