Review: R-Type Final

[Nick]

I remember how impressed I was the first time I saw <i>R-Type</i>. It was in the back of a local taco stand. I didn't have many quarters to spend on it, but I intended to beat it someday.

Today, I still haven't beaten the first game in the series, but I am enjoying the hell out of the last. It's thirty dollars brand-new, it has intense action, commendable replay value, beautiful effects, and over a hundred customizable ships. I'm not sure it tops the first <i>Gradius</i>, but it almost definitely tops any action game you've played this month.

Don't believe me? <a href="http://www.the-nextlevel.com/reviews/ps2/r-type-final/">Let's ask James.</a>

I've played Shikigami no Shiro 2 this month. R-type Final doesn't top it.

I played it last month and I say it does. So there.

Holy crap.... an opinion at a gaming site, what a suprise!

Anyways, good review for someone not know what to expect from a R-Type game (which there are a shocking # of).
