"and aspire you" should be "inspire"
Don't panic! |

Wouldn't aspire still work in that situation? Like "I aspire not to be a continue whore!"

'Aspire' would still work, but not the way you phrased it. To get technical for a moment, you've got the subject and object of the verb the wrong way round. The way it's phrased at the moment, it's the game that's aspiring to something. It might seem minor, but it's like the difference between 'man bites dog' and 'dog bites man'.

Nice review, by the way.

Yes, that's true, I should have mentioned that :p I just get carried away with writing/grammar issues because I'm a pedant. It's a good review, nice work. I particularly enjoyed you putting Parodius in context as essentially a Gradius substitute for the 90s.

Haha, thanks, guys. I'm not one to whine or complain about this stuff, but I was getting worried when the only positive thing I've gotten about the review so far was "I love the third paragraph!" XD

The Parodius games are fun as hell. Good shooters that are entertaining to watch, as well as enjoyable to play.
