    Sadly, there are just too many flaws to enjoy the game in it's current state: God-awful bloom, horrible unbalanced difficulty curves, an in-game currency system that forces monotonous replay to unlock new craft, and terrible checkpoints.

    It looks good until you actually start to play it. But the balance is just not there, you keep dying from stupid things to a degree that at times you wonder what exactly killed you.
    I got this for free via whatever PSN subscription bonus there was, I loved original R-Type way way back. This one feels "right", but is just doesn't play right. Maybe I'm too old for this sh*t who knows :) But    It looks good until you actually start to play it.

    Você pensa em se divertir mas só acaba por passar raiva, balanceamento de dificuldade torna o jogo cansativo e sem atrativo.

    R-Type Final 2 is about as niche as niche gets. It represents a genre that’s hardly en vogue, and it’s a traditional, hardcore example of an experience that ferociously clings to its roots. This is not the shmup I would gift to someone in hopes of luring them into the genre, and it’s an especially difficult sell with the rather astounding $40 price point before DLC. All of this makes R-Type Final 2 a game with a fairly narrow scope, but anyone directly within that Venn diagram will be in for an exceptionally-produced, technically excellent iteration on a legendary franchise.

    R-Type Final 2 is a blast from the past, a good revival of the genre with a modern twist on it. Frenetic and incredibly hard is a good pastime, but can become frustrating in the long term for the pixel perfect accuracy needed.

    Does exactly what it sets out to do – deliver a worthy new R-Type – very well, yet a little more ambition (and accessibility) could have gone a long way. [Issue#2, p.87]
