Summary
R-Type III: The Third Lightening is a horizontal side scrolling space shooter. In the game you take the role of the pilot of the new R-90 ship, and are sent out to destroy the BYDO Empire, and its mother ship. The object of the game is to clear the levels, destroy your enemies, and eventually take down the dreaded BYDO Empire.
Gameplay
As with most space shooters, the story really is of little importance to the actual game, in that sense the narrative aspects of the game have been pretty nonexistent thus far in my play time. However, this has not stopped me from playing the game. In the hour of play that I spent, I got about halfway through the second level. If there is anything someone can take away from that previous statement it’s that this game is pretty difficult, but enjoyable at the same time. There are many interesting aspects of the game that have stuck out during my time of play. One of them is the fact that you have the ability to choose what types of weapons you gain from your power ups.
Another aspect that pops into my head constantly is how this game and Gradius III compare to each other; this is has been an interesting topic due to the fact that I have just recently done a game log for Gradius III. The two are very different from one another, but in some senses the same, and each has their own pros and cons. For R-Type I have noticed that your ship is much larger, and more susceptible to crashes into the walls of the environment. It has been my experience that because of the ships larger size I have been more prone to losing lives because of it. However, the levels in R-Type III are not nearly as linear as the ones in Gradius, and have a lot of interactivity within them. By that I mean your eyes are constantly moving through your field of vision looking for gaps and openings to get through.
