Classic Game Room - G-DARIUS review for PlayStation 

The soundtrack of G-Darius is amazing

One of the all time BEST ps1 games!

G Darius HD is being worked on by M2, of all people. This is the *best* news.. 🥰

I really love you choice of music for your videos, give so much personality!

Yo, the PS2 version of G Darius on the Taito Legends 2 compilation is FAR superior, faster, smoother, no music cut outs and WAY HARDER ;)

This was a good review! Loved you getting into the gameplay mechanics! That does look fun, like a 2D shooter pokemon.

This is in Taito legends 2, probably the best retro compilation ever.

really dig the new intro and visual camera work

Great review and sweater!

such a fun review, you're the best mark

Hey Lord karnage I love every review dam Good work happy holidays brother

Oh yeah 8) i freakin love this one!! Gets incredible hard later on... this is also one of those games, where i like the cover art of the PAL Version more. Cheers guys

One of the greater CGR eps. I love the robot death fish that you can capture so you can drink your beer. Very handle on a Friday. Lol

Omg I love this game, I remember when I first played the PS1 demo back in the day :)

Thank you for finally reviewing this game. It is my all time favorite shmup ever! I'm a huge fan of the whole Darius series, but G- Darius / Darius Gaiden and Dariusburst (Chronicle Saviours) are just some of the greatest the shmup genre has to offer. If you haven't played Chronicle Saviours yet, I HIGHLY recommend it! I play G-Darius all the time, I can actually 1-CC it now with a Silver Hawk technical rank! This game is just the absolute best of the best! ^.=.^

I HAVE WAITED DECADES FOR THIS REVIEW, THANK YOU

Hey, Mark! First I have to thank you for all your reviews, I love your sense of humor, you always make me smile, and then laugh out loud, even on a most shitty day! Second - G-Darius. I haven't played it back in the PS1 days, back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The first time I've became aware of this game, was when I downloaded Zinc arcade emulator some 10-11 years ago, for my first PC, and this game was one of the bunch I've tried on it. Looking at the graphics I figured out it could be available for PlayStation, but as I said - never seen it for the console. For some reason Zinc didn't play the music, so I created my own playlist in Winamp, and the game rocked with it! Also playing it with my first gamepad was more then enjoyable, but the peak was when my then roommate borrowed a projector to make some art project, and I was lucky to use my wall as a monitor for a week, which made it the best week of gaming and movie watching of my life! And G-Darius played with my friend, cool music, and the whole room darkened with theatre curtains (very thick), during very hot summer (and the projector was producing a lot of heat as well), made it one of the best gaming experiences I've had chance to have. I was never good at this kind of games, but G-Darius just knocked me out in one strong blow. I wish this kind of game was available for 3DS, which is my gaming platform of choice. Keep up the good work! Thanks again :)

My fave side scrolling shooter.

I have disc 1 which I found in the market, pink pal version. Bloody amazing game play and music. The big laser vs boss part was amazing.

I frikin love G Darius.

Was wondering when this would pop up. One of the best Taitos on PSX/If not for RayCrisis. Thanks for the upload :D

I love that game. Still play it frequently.

I need to pick this up - Darius Gaiden is one of my favorite Saturn games.

G-Darius is also on the taito legends vol2,for the PS2.Mark the latest one in the series is darius burst for PC,PS4 and Vita id highly recommend it.

Question: Were you playing the game on your ps3 with the controller connected with the cable or without because that could cause a delay?

I came for the review but stayed for the "thanks" at the end lol.

CGR will forever be great!

Finally! My favorite side-scrolling shooter has finally been reviewed! This game needs more recognition, as it deserves it!

Finally got a copy this week. Fuck it's awesome. Can't decide between G Darius or Darius Gaiden on the Saturn. I do know Darius is my favorite shmup series by a mile.

Been wanting to get this for awhile. Darius Gaiden on Saturn is my fav shmup. Love the 16 bit Darius too. Whatever they get named in North America.

I really miss this types of shooters.

I used to have this game

God I love that intro.

Whoa!Now that looked like an impressive game.

the best way to play this is not on the ps1 or ps3, but on the ps2 where it's part of the tatio legends 2 collection that also features darius gaiden.

very nice indeed here, enjoyed this one

Einhander wooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!

In regards to the input lag on PS3, it's not just you, Mark. I had the exact same problem.

Dude its coming to ps4 & switch in hd!!!

G-Darius? Wasn't he the lead singer for Hootie and the Blowfish?

So the pre-intro has no music and instead has clips of "Ohad Kanne". "EY! Ooohaaad Kanne... Oooha"

Which Darius is on a certain ps2 compilation? This one? I'm looking for shmups on compilations if possible since so many are pricey for retro consoles

love this game

Never played this game but this review got my attention! a real ps1 gem

I never played this one, looks pretty sweet.

one of my favorite ps1 games.

I absolutely love this game. While the arcade version plays a LOT better (it's available on Taito Legends 2 for PS2 and XBox) and has free-play mode unlocked by default, the PS version has an awesome Boss Rush mode that you can customize.

what up Mark

You are having way too much fun with those audio effects, aren't you, Mark?

Salsa music in retro videogames reviews? this is brand new for me xD Totally out of mind xd

I bought this game because of you 👍

What version of PS3 do you have?

Is it me or these gaphics are insanelly good?

You need to play salsa in every review from now on. It takes this review from a 9.5/10 to 145/10

I hope this game gets a re-release.

This and DariusBurst are the best ones

Brewdog makes amazing beers.

Darius Twin....All the way :)

Oh if only this game was on PS4 with trophies. I'd buy it without question! I sincerely wish Sony would release PS1 games with trophy support on the PS4. . . but I'm sure there's some technical matter involved that makes it harder than it would seem. Sigh. . . Platinuming all 3 original Spyro games would be such a joy.

Excellent game. One of the best for PS1

I don't know?! For me Darius Gaiden was the best version but it was also the version that transcended from 2D to 3D (as it had a mixture of both elements?!). G-Darius always kinda scared me off but I can't put it off any longer, gonna have to get into this one!!! But Darius Gaiden was my (still!) mainstay!

"YOU... YOU..."

First game I ever had

Finally someone reviews this Gem, this was easily one of the best Darius games, Darius burst was such a let down, i wish they remade G Darius.

is this on the sega saturn

Great shooter! The PS1 version has too much slow down. play the Arcade perfect version on PS2's Taito Legends 2 collection for great justice!

THQ is back, actually. Nordic Games renamed themselves to "Nordic THQ" recently.

free food, free drinks, free games, free clothes, free items, free toys, free money, whats next for mr.mark, free human organs?

After playing other Darius games this feels super cramped.

you rock!

G Darius is best Darius

Looks more like LS-Darius.

Space Hawks Vs Space Alien 👽 mecha fish 🐟

WOAH IM EARLY

81th

D

Too bad you aren't around anymore, the game has gotten an HD remake for all consoles, and at the end of the month, the HD version hits the Switch.

I find you very disturbing.
