    Great combination of past games combines to make the best portable shooter ever. Great voice overs, sound effects, music and lots of things exploding!!

    Nice gameplay and just what you'd expect from a side scrolling space shooter. It just keeps you playing.

    Gradius comes to the Gameboy advance and its simple, stripped down shoot 'em up formula is perfectly suited to the system. A nice looking, challenging and inventive side scroller that's a good, solid entry in the long running series.

    Whether you're a grizzled arcade veteran or a newcomer to the series, Gradius Galaxies is sure to satisfy your appetite for destruction. [Spring 2002, p.41]

    Awesome. It could even be considered the GBA's "Ikaruga."

    This game has such a high replay value that it’s worth so much more than the SRP on the package.
