RQ: which type to use in gradius III and IV

Post by burnman »

I just got Gradius III and IV for the PS2 off ebay for 14 bucks. I was wondering which type everyone uses for it?

Thanks

Great pick, this compalation is awesome

As for the types you should definitely try em all...but for a bit of advice.


In Gradius 3

For the type I feel type B is the best mostly because of the spread bombs which block shots and pack a punch

But I use "Edit" the most for the "life to option" powerup.

In Graidus 4

The Lasers pretty much suck in the game so you can focus on the best "Missiles": Vertical mines or Spread Bombs (I like vetical mines the most)

IV is not bad, but not good. I think Vertical mine was actually one of the only better weapons in the game, if not actually GOOD. The Moai stage in IV actually REALLY pissed me off. Those bastards wouldn't die and they spewed out rings like some bulimic girl. The game is not a black sheep, but shaved in the bunch.
