アーケード版のような派手な演出がない。
しかし、比較的難易度が低く、そのため楽しめるし、普通にクリアできて達成感がある。
この点だけでも名作だと思う。
グラディウス1と2と比較して目新しさがない感じはある。
その点は、グラディウス３（アーケード版）は派手で重々しくて目新しさがあった。
グラディウス3（SFC）と比較すると、グラディウス４は難しい上に、目新しさがなく、世間で「なんか退屈」的評価を受けているのはわかる気がした。

It does not have the flashy presentation of the arcade version.
However, the difficulty level is relatively low, and because of this, it is enjoyable, and there is usually a sense of accomplishment in clearing the game.
In this respect alone, I think it is a masterpiece.
Compared to Gradius 1 and 2, there is a sense of lack of novelty.
In this respect, Gradius 3 (arcade version) was flashy, heavy-handed, and novel.
Compared to Gradius 3 (SFC), Gradius 4 is difficult and has no novelty, and I think it is understandable that Gradius 4 has a reputation for being "kind of boring" among the public.
