Game description: Based on the 1980s arcade and console game, Gradius V features the classic side-scrolling shooting gameplay with all-new elements, including new option controls, levels, weapons, and missions. You'll have access to a variety of upgradable power-ups that help you fight through seven expansive levels. For the first time in the Gradius series, you can play simultaneously with a friend and then check the Internet Ranking System to see if you've made the high-score list.
The game is set predominantly in outer space where players control a fictional spacecraft called Vic Viper through a continuously scrolling background depicting the territories of Bacterian—an evil empire which serves as the player's enemy

FPS: 60/60. Might get slowdowns in some boss battles with slower cards and high resolution so try reducing the internal resolution if that's the case.

Still amazing..., Some occasional very minor texture error on the 'space tunnel' cutscene on level 2 when playing in very high res... ;-p
