Gradius V for PS2

[Vidar]

I recently was lucky enough to get my hands on Gradius V, and it's kicking my ass all over the cosmos, but it's also one of the best games I've played in a long while.
the action is nonstop, and the gameplay encourages taking risks. Also, once a boss finally bites the dust, he does so in a very satisfying meaty explosion.

If you have a playstation 2 I can reccomend this game wholeheartedly.
