«©NCSX» The original R-Type game from 1987 broke new shooter ground by adding a versatile Force Unit which served as shield as well as weapon upgrade. Bolt the Force Unit onto the fore or aft of your R-Type ship and it would automatically serve as a barrier against oncoming fire as well as blast out lasers, reflecting shots and other offensive power. R-Type has undergone a number of upgrades and updates through the years and Irem unleashes the last ever R-Type game on PS2. Irem touts 99 types of ships to use which are unlocked as the player progresses through the level. Colors (body and canopy) may be customized and weapon choices (missile types, bombs and Force Units) are picked before the level begins. The battle in R-Type Final starts on Earth and eventually takes the player through the solar system to the heart of the Bydo Empire. An R's Museum section allows the viewing of every R-Type ship in the game, their capabilities and weapon systems which is a nice little touch to close out the R-Type franchise and bid adieu to staunch fans.
