If you're a fan of the R-Type series, then you might have mixed opinions about the latest game in the franchise, Atlus' R-Type Command for the PSP. While you may still be blasting Bydo and other ships in this title, you'll be doing it in a far more sedate pace than the twitch-based horizontal shoot-em-up we've always been glad to partake in, and we see the different gameplay style in this latest gameplay video update.
For the record, while the gameplay isn't exactly the same as what we're used to, it definitely offers a lot more insight into the R-Type universe than its shmup cousins. One such example is the fact that you can command a ship and its corresponding Force to split up and attack independently. This is in itself a key feature in the original games, but the fact that they included them here is testament that despite the genre change, it's still the R-Type we know and love. Enjoy the videos!
