And holy FUCK are the bosses spongy. I'm talking like 100+ shots spongy.

It's called Gradius 2, but if you think of it as Life Force 2, you'll have a better idea of what to expect. Gradius was subdued, with low-key set-pieces and repetitive mini-bosses.

Gradius 2 is a sweeping space epic with grand bosses.

This might be better than Life Force. Wow.

You'll all forgive me if I don't give blow-by-blow updates on the Konami shmups. We all know I'm going to drool all over them.

I'm two levels into a perfect run on Life Force, which I first discovered at the age of 19 on Virtual Console. I absolutely love this game. LOVE IT!

"Oh look, a miscolored statue. Something must be hidden there."

OH COME ON!!

I've set up a randomizer to choose my next Konami game. I just want to do retro games. In that mood, you know.

And that craving was rewarded.

So, after needing about an hour to beat the first level, I beat the second level in about ten minutes.

Well, that was weird and inconsistent. Level two wasn't a maze.

Oh man, this is fun.

It's got a few cheap ass gotcha moments, but I really enjoy the combat here. A top down platform/adventure with gunplay. It's nice.

How come this never got picked up for a US release? Just switch it over to carts.

Because I strive for fairness, I did the B game, which is the one that allows you to use the zapper.

It works. My gun worked.

The game still sucks. NO! Pile.

@zen_studios Are you kidding me? Level 5 is also a driving stage with the most slow, boring mechanics in the history of the medium.

Sigh.

Then back to the brawling shit. Bad as that is, I prefer that to the other formats the game jumps back and forth to.

@zen_studios Back to Bayou Billy, which suddenly transitioned to a third-person driving game with the absolute most pathetic sense of speed I've ever experienced in my life. You know those lady bug rides at the carnival that some kids don't get sick? Those kids would yawn at this stage.
