September for home for Border Down. It's probably too late to get the limited edition, though, but then again all you seem to be getting for your extra $20-$30 is a soundtrack.
That's it for the AI mode? I was under the impression you trained your ship to fight through the levels, which I think could have been really fun to do if implemented well. Damn...
Buying it anyway when it hits, and still searching for R-Type Delta.

Hmmmm...I'm still going to remain optimistic. Unlocking ships should keep the game in good rotation even if the core game isn't the greatest..I should hope anyway.
My main worry with the game was the huge number of extra ships. Shooters tend to be as balanced as good fighters and throwing 49 ships into the fray seemed extensive and a move that could alter the game balance.
Still a definite purchase when it hits here, if only to play the last R-Type. *-neo
There are a hundred ships, actually. From what I've read it does seem to knock the balance all over the place, but with so many it's hard for it not to.Quote:

You know, I've been eagerly anticipating Border Down, but I never expected it to come out better than R-Type Final. But I guess BD came out a bit better than its legacy, and RTF a bit short.Quote:

One thing I find interesting is that you get the option to switch fighters after a stage ends.
That mothership battle has the best BGM in the whole game IMO. Later in that stage, there's a spot where you can trash a couple of buildings.
Turning the Force loose and letting it tickle larger enemies builds the DOSE meter up like mad- and it helps your score.
EDIT: I stand corrected on the number of stages- there are at least 6. Stage 6 is a damn good one with a real R-Type level of challenge to it. Too bad stage 1 is so lacking.
RTF is starting to grow on me some more.
I've gotten a review of R-Type Final written up. Here's the link to it with 7 screen shots- click on thumbnails to see the images.
Thanks for the review. Good stuff.
Sure hope they fix the slowdown for America, but I'm highly doubtful. Does Irem suck with PS2 engines or something? Disaster Report also had crippling slowdown -- some of the worst I've ever encountered.
Some ships are upgrades. (like Shooting Star->Morning Star->Grace Note) What might sem impossible with a certain ship may depend on which version of you have. :)Quote:
