Eurogamer: "As it stands, Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea still remain leagues ahead in the PSP's turn-based action stakes, but the stark space setting and the dedication to extracting the best elements of the R-Type universe and placing them in a new genre isn't entirely disagreeable. Indeed, with a better ranking or medal system this could have scored much better. A level editor, too, would have been nice, or maybe more than just ad-hoc two-player battles."
"When you think of classic shoot 'em ups, the top 2 series that likely come to mind are Gradius and R-Type so let's take an in-depth look at both franchises and see which one comes out on top." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
AG writes: "There are many of us who fondly remember the first time the Bydo Empire invaded. It was the genesis of a fantastic series of games that bore the now famous name of R-Type. But what of this latest offering? Surely a handheld format - especially one as potent as the PSP - is an ideal dwelling place for this granddaddy of side-scrolling shoot 'em ups?"
