GameShark: R-Type Command Review

One problem is that the game really has no leveling mechanic in it. If your pilots survive over time their experience increases, but there is no noticeable difference between a veteran pilot and a green pilot. Adding in some RPG elements would have gone a long way.

The other problem with the game is that it seems expensive for what is essentially a board game. Yes, the argument can be made that Advance Warsalso expensive, but this game at $40 seems pretty extravagant especially when matched up with the other $40 RPG/Strategy games Atlus has been putting out at a good pace lately on the PS2. This game will take you a bit of time to beat, but asking $40 might be a bit on the high side.
