If you want to play Sexy Parodius, it's because it's a laugh. Secretly, it's a fantastic shooter, too. The upgrades, variety in ship types, and OutRun-style branching level tree ensure there's always something new to come back for. I sometimes feel sorry for mid-nineties pixel artists, with all the work they put in to compete with Street Fighter. With Parodius, I'm assured they're only doing what they want. The "sexy" angle might put off potential players, but it's what makes the game so ludicrous. A game that delights in the opportunity to animate a pair of gigantic swinging testicles. An essential part of my PlayStation library.
