Editorial overview
What it is
R-Type and R-Type II, the legendary coin-op space shooters, now together on Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3
Fight through all 14 Bydo-infested stages in retro 2D graphics or shiny 3D graphics - and swap back and forth with the touch of a button 'on-the-fly'. The new 3D graphics are accompanied by fully reimagined arrangements of the timeless R-Type music tracks! The classic game-play remains untouched while the new Infinite game mode allows continuous progression from game start to final boss... the Bydo will not evade you this time! Both game modes can be played as single player or local multiplayer.
Pull yourself together, save the earth and strike down the Evil Bydo Empire!!
