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 Empire



To 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. One group wanted to fight the Bydo, and rid the Solor System of its evil. Others moved to abadon their home and find shelter on another habitable world. Amid the turmoil, a lone Commander of the Space Corps received an impossible order: "Gather your remaining forces, and hunt the Bydo..."

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - 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: 4 out of 5 stars - 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.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - R-Type Strategy Fun!
I am having a blast with this game. I love R-Type games and strategy games so this is a perfect fit for me. The PSP is known as the strategy game system and R-Type does not disappoint.

I admit the game has things that erk me somewhat. An example of something that bothers me is that you can't turn your ships around - they always face right. However, all enemies always face left and it adds importance to your placement on the field. Also, it gives a reason for your Force (the spinning ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointed
The R-Type series have always been fun...so I have never hesitated to purchase before reading about their reviews...and sorry to say I was so disappointed in this debacle of a game. Who in their right mind took the most beloved space shooter and use that game's name to destroy its reputation. I also enjoy strategy games but this is not even a good strategy game. It was frustrating confusing and boring to say the least. Rent before buying!
