Great SHMUP! Great game, played on the hardest difficulty level, you must be like God to beat it. One of the greatest testaments to the entire SHMUP genre next to Ikaruga.

glad I bought a PS2 for this About all that's missing from this is a gameplay demo (not really required due to many menu screens it can be left on), info. on what points the Bydo are worth, and entire level paintings / backdrops. Everything else is here - massive amount of Bydo data, loads of stats., loads of ships to unlock (many novelty-like, but still fun), score attacks per level, secret levels, different versions. Big scope.
No idea how you're actually meant to beat the Bydo-ship level with Bydo force, but nevermind.
The forces, ships, ect - would make a great poster series. As they would with most shooter games.
Liked the AI idea, but watching it seemed like the cameras were way off? These shooter games would make really cool trading cards, that's for sure.
Whether you're an R-101 disaster or an also-in-Arcadia player, it's a great addition to the R-Type series.
Hard old school Shooter R-type Final is not as interesting as Ikaruga or ESPgaluda but it is a good traditional 2D horizontal scrolling shoot'em'up.
Graphics, music are good. The game is quiet hard to finish (an invicibility code is available on Internet)so it's a big challenge to unlock all of the 99ships available in the game.
Good game but better ones are available.
