Great variety is the strong point of this game. It has 100 customizable ships and 7 levels. Each level can be slightly different each time you play it (for example, you could go in level 2.1 instead of 2.0). However, like any other R-type games or most classic shoot em up, it suffers from slow pace problem. The camera is always moving slowly, even though you can adjust the speed of your ship. Every time you fail to beat the boss, you'll have to fall back to the check point. And it takes quite a while to reach the boss again because things are slow. It doesn't mean the game is easy though. Some projectiles can move pretty fast. To make matter worse, due to the limitation of ps2, sometimes, when things get crazy, it can go slow motion. It probably won't happen if they stick with 2d graphic...Read full review

Like the title states, this game is considered to be the pinnacle of the R-type series. Coming from one of the big-name shmup franchises, this game is solid. Great graphics, a multitude of ships and weapons options, good music/sound effects, this game is a must-have for shmup collectors. Like many others, I play this game in spurts from time to time unlocking ships here and there.
