CiB Let's Try - R-Type Final (PS2)
1R-Type Final was released as a PS2 exclusive on June 19, 2003. It was developed by IREM, who of course made the EPIC Disaster Report / Raw Danger games, and it was published by our good friends at AgeTec.
IREM and AgeTec at it again! I definitely like side-scrolling shooters, though it's really hard to find the right mixture between kinda easy and 'I can't even get past the first level'. R-Type has always been a game that has been on the easier side (notice I didn't say 'easy'), and was a more casual shooter than say, Gradius. I really like this game, honestly. The 2D game with 3D sprites and backgrounds works really well, it's a solid difficulty, with some really cool looking bosses. I only wish you could move a tiny bit faster. Still, we recommend to play this one 'any way you can'!
