G. Darius is a side scrolling 1 or 2 player shooter in the tradition of Gradius and R-Type. It uses polygons to form the characters and backrounds, and features an innovative new power up system that allows you to capture your enemies and use them as helpers. The great thing about the capture feature is that you can capture almost any enemy…even mini-bosses! G. Darius is of decent length and also has multiple paths so you don’t have to play through the same levels each time, adding variety and replay value. There are a few factors which hinder it from perfection, though…like the drab colors in some areas, flat textures on some enemies, and occasional slowdown. Other than that, I believe G. Darius is a worthy addition to any shooting game fan’s library.
I grew up loving arcade games and having G-Darius made that passion even stronger.
With many PlayStation-owning shooter fans singing the praises of Einhander and R-Type Delta, this one has sort of been lost in the shuffle. That’s a shame, because G Darius has lots to offer both hardcore and casual fans of the genre.I fear that, since almost all of your foes in this game are robot aquatic creatures (sharks, crabs, sea horses, etc.), some people may dismiss it as "silly". In fact there is nothing silly or stupid about it. It’s a fast-paced side-scroller with intensity to spare, and it boasts some of the most hectic bullet-dodging mayhem you’ll ever encounter.Your spacecraft has two weapons which are fired simultaneously: the standard, straightforward gun (horizontal) and grenades (vertical), both of which can be upgraded by snatching orbs from defeated enemies. What makes the game unique is the capture ball, a weapon you can launch at your foes to turn them into your sidekicks. They’ll follow you loyally and attack whenever you fire, like the "options" in the Gradius series. There are quite a few different enemies you can do this to, and all of them have unique offensive capabilities. Some fire a very basic shot; some fire a "spread" shot; some hurl themselves at the opposition, causing damage by brazenly crashing into them at high speeds.Speaking of speed, G Darius rips along at a pretty brisk pace, although the stages themselves are of satisfactory length. Minor slowdown sometimes occurs when you’re doing battle wit.
This game is a great shooter for the PSOne. I’ve played all the Darius games, but I like this one better. Especially when using the counterattack beams on bosses. My beam almost take over my entire screen when I fight the Queen Fossil or Fire Fossil bosses. I have never seen such power before.If you are a 2D shooter fan put this in your collection.
One of the Best Games ever Created.
Whenever the conversation of good flight shooters and the title Darius-G is mentioned you get looks of confusion.Not surprised really the game itself never survived long enough to gain a milestone like Gradius did in the 80’s.In fact I wonder if Darius G is an anagram of Gradius?hmm…interesting theory.Moving on I really liked this side scrolling shooter.Lots of weapons to upgrade.Beautiful use of color and sound.I’m not a graphics criticizer as long as it appeals to my eye and Darius G certainly did.Massive bosses to take on as they’re the icing on the cake to the action behind this game.Most are an amphibious type of robot to take on starting with the ‘Eclipse Eye’ (shown on the game cover) then after that you learn these bosses were crafted to dish out some heavy artillery.The way the game plays out is interesting because since you can route your quest you will not encounter every level and boss along the way.Coming back and choosing a new route and fresh bosses to duel it out with keeps it fresh.Highly recommend the game-it belongs right up there with RayStorm and many other good shooters!
