Review	Life Force (NES)
Staff review by Marc Golding (January 03, 2004) Take on a massive brain/Cyclops, press through tight spots raining volcanic rock, and reach the famous fire level. It might not look like much these days, but the raging, pseudo-sentient arcing flames were a technological marvel at the time of the game’s release. Was the NES really doing this? Yes, it was, and it still is.

Review	Life Force (NES)
Staff review by Rob Hamilton (January 31, 2007) But, like I said, there is one alteration to this formula in Lifeforce.

And even when series staples such as the rock-spewing volcanoes or Moai heads get dusted off, the change in viewpoint almost makes them seem like an original challenge.

Review	Life Force (NES)
Reader review by psychopenguin (September 12, 2003) Gradius was a very fun game released by Konami during the old days of the NES. It was one of the original horizontal shooters, and it proved to be a lot of fun, and brought lots of innovation to the table in an attempt to prove it just wasn't another lame shooting game. They succeeded and managed to make one of the most interesting and action-packed shooters of its generation, despite the relative slow pace of the game.
