Take the controls of an amazing Vic Viper fighter ship and pilot the craft deep into the enemy defences to destroy the forces of the deadly Bacterion Empire! In the brilliant Gradius 3 you must cruise through spaces and the skies of planets using your weapons to blast the hell out of all the enemies that approach and attack you, staying alive at all costs and not being blown up! Avoid the objects and the shots while releasing a hail of bullets to survive!

Gradius fans out there looking to get into other epic titles from this series would be at a loss to not try out Gradius - The Interstellar Assault, Gradius, Gradius 2 and the badass Gradius Galaxies !
