Prologue
Unknown life forms born from pure destructive instinct were fist observed in the Perseus Spiral arm.Concern grew as the life forms began to multiply, with an apparent design in mind. The concern gave way to fear as the life forms penetrated further into the Orion arm, with an inevitable destination of Earth. The invaders were given a name: the Bydo EmpireTo halt the Bydo's advance, next-generation fighters were deployed, and their versatility and power proved effective indeed in isolated skirmishes. But Earth's triumph was short-lived, as the Bydo did not relent in their assault until humanity was forced to retreat. to everyone's horror, the Bydo had reached the Solor System.Horr turned to panic as humanity split into two factions.

Rating:  - An effective strategy offshoot of the R-Type series
The R-Type series takes an interesting detour with this competent hex-grid strategy game. The flashy style of the classic shooters is here, but entirely optional. Since the attacks are canned animations with annoying load times, you can thankfully choose how and when these are shown. That includes: full-screen, full-at-random, windowed, windowed-at-random, or off. As such, the lengthy load times of the animations should not receive as much negative emphasis as they tend to.

Rating:  - Misleading
Im usually pretty good about reading reviews. But this time i just watched part of the movie listed and made my purchase. Should have watched the whole thing because the first part is extremely misleading. Still a decent game if you like the whole rpg feel. But ive got enough rpg games, i dont need another. I wanted an action game, and action this game is not.
Rating:  - Not what I was especting.
Not even the 1/2 of the fun of any previously R-Type versions.
If you are looking for a great shooter, this is not the one.
Even worst, this is NOT a shooter.
Rating: - Thinking Mans R-Type - Total Fun
I like this game, in fact after playing it for a month I'm declaring it my favorite PSP game, and I have all the must plays. I'd give it 5 stars but I can't edit that.
It's a lot different than the older R-Types which I've all played. First, you can save whenever you want. Second, you can customize your attack plan using specific equipment suitable for each mission. Third, the copy I ordered from Amazon 2 weeks ago came with a mini-R-Type fighter plastic model, which rules.
