Summary

A glorious sendoff for the venerable series, and an absolute must-own for any serious fan. While it ultimately fails to match up the strongest entries in the series - the original R-Type and the fantastic R-Type Delta - in terms of stage design and challenge, it compensates with the vast wealth of playable craft and subtle nods to its own spectacular lineage.
