If you've played one Parodius game, you've kind of played them all.
Gokujou features a way bigger roster of characters, but otherwise it's about the same as every other Parodius game, which isn't a negative. It's a cute fun shooter with remixes of classical music blaring at you as nonsensical enemies keep popping up every few seconds.

The SNES port, however, is somewhat shoddy with lots of slowdown, which causes a lot of problems as enemies tend to appear and disappear faster than you can keep track of them which changes the speed of the game.
