R-Type Final 2 Review (TheSixthAxis)

TSA writes: "Released in 1987, R-Type became an instant classic when it hit the arcades across the world, thanks to its iconic weapons and innovative gameplay and the “Force”, an extra weapon you could attach to the front of your ship to lock incoming fire or shoot toward groups of enemies as a remote drone. Rather than relying on thousands of bullets, R-Type had complex levels with moving walls and sneaky attack patterns which could only be learnt by trial and error and players pumped millions of coins in to the arcade cabinets trying to get just a little further each play."
