    OMG! This game HURTS!

    By Stevens_c1 | Review Date: Feb 09, 2009 | X360

    I remember R-Type and R-Type 2. I also remember being able to beat them in one setting (without unlimited lives, thank you). I must be old because it kicks my butt now. NEVERTHELESS, I love it. The classic graphics a... Read Full Review

    It just Our Type.

    By Megleeker | Review Date: Aug 03, 2011 | X360

    Keeping the classics alive man, this is excellent and will throw you right back to mid 80's Amstrad CPC 464 days, i played a similar title Slamander back on that platform but this is the daddy. Squirming in and out of... Read Full Review

    R-Type Dimensions is an R-Type fan's dream come true---made even sweeter by HD visual upgrades and new features.

    R-Type Dimensions lets you play through R-type 1 and 2 with either updated or original graphics, that can be changed on the fly, as well as in unlimited mode which gives you infinite respawns. You can still play in Class... Read Full Review

    So video games have now officially adopted the womanly ritual that is "the makeover". Just as girl friends from Malibu are prone to freak out with joy at the prospect of getting their hair, nails, toe nails and facials d... Read Full Review

    Great.... If you like being repeatedly kicked in the head!

    By philcelica | Review Date: Aug 05, 2009 | X360

    A solid conversion of the two R-Type games with nice (if a little plain) 3D upgrades... Would've been nice to have a few more modes (maybe a difficulty setting!!!) A bit pricey even with the summer discount..... ... Read Full Review

    Hard to find a fault in the retro goodness!

    I always loved the R-Type games, but never had the skills to get past the second level with the brutal Revival (Classic) respawn system. This package finally lets me see the later levels in both their original pixelly g... Read Full Review
