    I'd never played the old R-Type games, but I was bored so I decided to pick this up and see if it helped. I can honestly say this was the biggest mistake in my life. You will die constantly and then you will turn this off.

  1. You might fail to see what all the fuss is about if you're not a shmup historian, but for the faithful it's a pleasure to rediscover R-Type with friends and flash. [Feb 2009, p.81]
  2. You can't ignore that R-Type Dimensions offers another taste of classic gaming, with some enhancements to make it more attractive and contemporary, and that's playable from the comfort of the living-room couch.

    If you fondly remember the R-Types of old and have been itching to feel that sense of intense difficulty again on your console, then you'd be crazy not to download this one.
