"R-Type Final 2 is a solid attempt at bringing back the classic series to more modern times. The R9 itself plays very well and boss fights can be hot and hectic. The level design, however, can be hit or miss and the lack of adequate separation from the background and foreground can lead to some unexpected deaths. That being said, R-Type 2 feels like an R-Type game, even if it might not necessarily look like one at times. If you’re looking for an old-school style shmup that provides a tough challenge, you’ll want to pick this one up."

About
R-Type Final 2 adds new levels and enemies to the formula established in its predecessor. Players control a spacecraft navigating vertical scrolling stages filled with alien swarms and massive bosses. The focus is on tight shooting mechanics and memorizing enemy attack patterns. Each level ends in a boss fight requiring precise timing and weapon switching. The game runs at a smooth frame rate with colorful visuals that pop on modern hardware. The limited edition bundles physical items alongside the digital game. It includes a booklet of concept art, the full soundtrack on CD, and a metal model kit of the R9A ship. A 33rd anniversary pilot tag and collector’s box round out the package. Community polls on gaming forums rank this edition among the most complete releases in the series. Fans appreciate the tactile extras that go beyond typical digital bonuses.
