    In the end, G-Darius HD is a challenging shooter from a time when arcades were still relevant. It still looks good and sounds cool, but it’s not great as a standalone.

The HD version of the game looks great, but it is excellent that they have also included so many other versions of the game for you to try out and play around with. I wanted to give this game 8/10 but I've settled on a 7 for a few reasons:
    1. At full price, this game is not good value for money for the time you are likely to spend playing it.
    2. Whilst there is definitely some good replay value due to the 'branching paths' system of selecting the next level, after 5 play throughs you will probably feel that things are starting to get a bit repetitive.
    Be warned: This game is hard (even on 'super easy') but there are trainer and free play modes so that anyone can complete it regardless of skill level. They have done a really good job with the menu system to allow you to customize your play experience to your needs.
    Overall this is well worth picking up if you are a fan of the genre. My advice is to wait for a sale though.    … Full Review »

The addition of Ver 2.0, the achievements, and a variety of other QOL improvements only help to make this a very replayable package."
