Salamander is a game, where you still play as Vic Viper and what not with Options and upgrades, but Gradius 2 came out afterwards and borrowed some elements from Salamander (Life Force). But Life Force was actually started out as a game called Salamander, which is what its name iirc is called in Japan. So everyone thought Life Force was Gradius 2 it was marketed as such. Gradius 2 never came here except as Nemesis on the MSX (but wasn't the 'real' gradius 2) until a proper Gradius 2 (arcade) came out on the PSP. Life Force was merely marketed as the sequel to Gradius, but it was not the 'actual' sequel Gradius 2.

Gradius 2 arcade finally recieved a port for the PSP Gradius Collection in the west, and was properly named Gradius 2 there. However, if you're expecting 3D, flashy graphics like its 2004 predecessor, then you will be disappointed, as the title imposes a retro, 16-bit visual. Gradius 2 received an MSX release in the west under the name Nemesis, but the game itself was nothing like the original Gradius 2 arcade despite being brought over from the MSX release of Gradius 2. Gradius ReBirth (Wii) review 'Gradius ReBirth, the first game in the ReBirth line that's currently exclusive as WiiWare downloads, also happens to be the console follow-up to Gradius V. But Life Force is rightfully considered a Gradius game.

Gradius 2 and Life Force are different games. So Life Force and Gradius II are completely different games, or what? That jerk keeps telling me I 'need more practice.' I own Gradius V, but I've not made it further than level 3. It's pretty much the same thing, but it's not called Gradius. I thought I did, but that was Life Force on the NES. You know, I don't think I've ever completed a Gradius game.
