PS2 Underrated Gem: R-Type Final
37This is a series of gameplay vids I'm doing highlighting overlooked games for the PS2.
Supposedly the final game in the long running R-Type series (they lied of course), R-Type Final keeps the series' tradition of tough, but satisfying shmup gameplay.
Like the other shmups I've shown in in my underrated gems vids, this game will eat you alive if you're not prepared or practiced in it. Just like the games of old, you have to learn this game, or this game will school you. That means that many weaker gamers won't have the patience to see this one through.
Those who do however will find an awesome Shmup with tons of unlockables (giving the game a lot of replay value), and beautiful 3D environments (not like I care about that, but the graphics whores out there will).
My only complain which is kinda my complaint with all shmups that use polygonal graphics is that sometimes the screen gets so jumbled with all the flashyness on screen that it's at times hard to see little projectiles coming your way. It's not a big deal once you know what to look for, but it can confuse you at times.
R-Type Final is only available on the PS2.
