1990s Critics Review R-Type Delta and Final Zone & Final Zone II (Review Crew)
69With no new Nintendo Classics to talk about and this month’s PlayStation Plus titles in the rearview mirror, what am I left to do? Play catch-up, of course. Earlier this year, Ratalaika games released an upgraded port of Final Zone on modern consoles. We also learned that Clear River Games intends to bring R-Type Delta back in an HD Boosted release with improved graphics and brand-new modes. That’s really cool news, but are either of these games actually worth playing? And what about Final Zone II, which was seemingly left behind? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, The Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine and more classic magazines that reviewed these games when they first came out. Get ready to dodge way too many bullets, because this is another action-packed episode of the Review Crew.
