You might fail to see what all the fuss is about if you're not a shmup historian, but for the faithful it's a pleasure to rediscover R-Type with friends and flash. [Feb 2009, p.81]

You can’t ignore that R-Type Dimensions offers another taste of classic gaming, with some enhancements to make it more attractive and contemporary, and that’s playable from the comfort of the living-room couch.

If you fondly remember the R-Types of old and have been itching to feel that sense of intense difficulty again on your console, then you’d be crazy not to download this one.

I enjoy these games, but the two things I always wanted were co-op and the ability for my next ship to come right back in instead of starting at a checkpoint. R-Type Dimensions allows me to do both with unlimited lives! You can still play the the right way if you're hardcore, but these new additions make the game much more accessible. Optional graphic upgrades, local or online co-op and the ability to replay any stage as much as you want round out the collection. This is R-Type perfected.

I'm giving this game a 9 because I'm a Masochist. R Type dimensions includes R Type and R Type 2. The final bosses of both games are nearly impossible and you would be lucky to make it past the first couple levels. However there's a sense of satisfaction from making it farther than you did last time. Also, you can play it cooperatively, and can toggle infinite lives for the faint of heart.

The fact that you can change the graphics instantly is just plain cool, and creates a real "how'd they do that?" feeling, but both the angled view and the 2D "arcade" camera -- where you view the game through a tiny arcade cabinet monitor -- are novelties.

R-Type Dimensions is a worthy attempt in catering to series fans, shooter fans, and retro fans at the same time. It’s easy to get into, but quite hard to master.

R-Type and R-Type II, two classics coin-ops, are together in R-Type Dimensions. Two graphics modes: original 2-D and all new 3-D in high definition. Game modes can be played as single player or multiplayer missions, either locally or over Xbox LIVE. A good retro pack with reminds the quality of this Shoot'em Up.

SouthEnd Interactive have put some effort into this "remake" and it supports both purists and newcomers who wish to check out a classic arcade game. The visuals are good, considering the age of this game and the gameplay still works.

I have to admit that while I enjoyed the game for around an hour, the length of time it took to beat both games, and the little bit of fun with multiplayer I cannot recommend this game to anyone but those with points to burn and if they are die hard R-Type fans, unless you have a few friends who own the game and are into playing Co-op then it is a great game to purchase.

R-Type has always been a title for the tough guys. But with the new Infinite mode it's now possible for every gamer to view the ending credits. The though guys won't use the new game mode of course and are only interested in breaking the high scores. And if this is the case with you then you'll have no problem in buying R-Type. Even with the somewhat high price tag.

R-Type Dimensions is pretty expensive for such an old game with such short levels, which makes this a game best suited to side-scrolling fanatics or people who just have money to burn.

Summary[Xbox Live Arcade] The coin-op classics, R-Type and R-Type II, are together at last in R-Type Dimensions! Fight through all 14 Bydo-infested stages in original 2-D or all-new 3-D graphics, and swap back and forth on-the-fly. The classic gameplay remains untouched, and a new Infinite game mode allows continuous progression from game star... Read More
