R-Type Final 2 (PS4) Demo Normal Difficulty
0The PS4 has a free demo of R-Type Final 2. It contains the first level, and the initial set of three ships you can play with.
Having played the full game disc, I can confirm that Level 2 is MUCH harder, and you won't get much further with a BUNCH of trial-by-error deaths. Your pool of continues is limited, so you're sent back to the beginning of the game when you die. Might as well use this demo to practice your deathless runs.
Despite not being developed by Irem, R Type Final 2 was apparently produced by several folks who worked on R Type Delta and R Type Tactics.
I have played quite a few shmups over the decades. My playlist of (mostly) 2D shoot-em-ups is here. It includes the original R-Type, as played on the Turbo Grafx 16 Mini:
