R-Type Command is faithful to the series, even in it's big turn from shooter to command style genre. I counted about 77 ships playable throughout the whole game, and overall, you'll get lost in the depth of the story, which is rather intriguing. A must buy for anyone with a PSP and a love of R-Type.
R-type is back. takes a little time to learn about the units if you haven't been keeping up with r-type lately so my friend and I note to buyers. I was a little unsure of having one of my favorite games reworked into stratagy form.but they did a great job at it. the graphics are good and the layout is wonderful. It's also pretty long and also lets you fight friends and for the first time command the Bydo forces as well. if you buy it soon enough you may get a R-type model of a black R-9 fighter with your order, which totally rules.
I am not much into RTS or TBS games, but this was something that I felt compelled to try.I tried this for two reasons, 1: the save anywhere function and 2: there was a demo.I ALSO understood that this was NOT a typical R-type shooter. I, unlike others who tanked this game because they didn't bother to view the description, actually READ the description and therefore I KNEW what this game was about.If you like TBS (Turn Based Strategy) games and like to take your time with them, then this is worth getting.Pros: nice graphics, laid back game play, an honest to God game save system that will save anywhere at any point, a good game to ease into strategy games if you're new to them.Cons: tends to be a little slow at times.All in all well worth checking out (start with the demo first).
I bought this for my video game-addicted son who is in the Air-Force along with another much more expensive game that just came out. He liked this one better. Other than that I have no idea what the game does, it did come with a model of one of the spaceships in the game, he loved that because he collect models as well.
I read a number of reviews and hesitated at first. This is a real pity because they could have easily used the geometric representations in the main strategy screen and given this game some kind of 3-dimensional feel.- There is no way to undo an accidental move.- Movement of large fleets can be labor intensive since there is no way to group ships into squadrons.Overall I am very pleasantly surprised by this game. - Surprisingly when you are close to obtaining victory (while potentially losing it all) this game really does put you on the edge of your seat.- Missions are long and bountiful (57 missions total).
It is a strategy game along the lines of the traditional hex-based wargames. By making the missions long your level of commitment and excitement grows. But when it hit discount I figured I had nothing to lose.As the other reviewers noted, this is not the classic R-Type game.
A mission can take at least 20 to 30 minutes to complete. I have never really played those original R-Type games anyway so I get to treat this game with a clean slate.Pros:- It is very addictive- Even if you lose a battle you don't lose all your ships. So you at least reap some rewards so that you can build a stronger fleet, learn from your mistakes, and try again.
Even though you seem to be able to plough through your enemies you are always wondering whether the tables could be turned at any moment because the enemy may have additional fighters hiding somewhere.- Good story that makes you feel like you are in charge of the fleet.- Supports adhoc mode play though I haven't tried it.Cons:- The in-game movies are too slow to load so usually you turn them off. It is the most enjoyable PSP title I've played so far.
