R-Type Dimensions now available on xbox 360 Live Arcade
« on: February 05, 2009, 10:05:32 pm »
hey guys, R-Type dimensions is now available on xbox live arcade..it is R-Type and R-type 2, available both in original mode, and with 3d rendered graphics (that look awesome by the way). you can also choose a modified camera so it has a more 3d feel, which is a little odd, but still cool.. it also has an infinite mode that respawns your ship if you die (with reduced weapons) for those of us who suck....this also gives it more of an arcade feel, since it is like putting in more quarters.
 it apparently has 2 player coop modes also, but i havent tried that yet.  it is 1200 points, which is a little high, but it is a great game...


go download it now

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I like it but the xbox controller is a bit too loose (the d-pad is as always, terrible) for a game that requires the precision.

I had a right job sitting on top of the heart boss at the end of level 2 (r-type), had to jiggle.

It is a bit steep really, I don't think I'd have bought it personally, I got it for my work XBOX360, so didn't pay for it myself.
