An excellent side scrolling shooter with great depth!
As an R-Type pilot, it's your mission to destroy the evil aliens that threaten to exterminate humanity. These creatures are known as the Bydo. This sends you on several well-detailed levels, shooting down countless enemy ships along the way.
The real beauty of R-Type final is the massive whack-load of ships that you can potentially unlock in your "Garage". Most of the shops are unlocked by playing through the game with the ships you already have. You can even customize your weapon load-out and colors before starting the game.
Also included is an AI-V.S. mode that lets you pit two AI-controlled ships against each other, after customizing their behavior and attack strategy.
With all of this said, this game has oodles of hours worth of replayability, and will most certainly appeal to fans of the genre!
