 Misleading July 31, 2008

Im usually pretty good about reading reviews. But this time i just watched part of the movie listed and made my purchase. Should have watched the whole thing because the first part is extremely misleading. Still a decent game if you like the whole rpg feel. But ive got enough rpg games, i dont need another. I wanted an action game, and action this game is not.

I read a number of reviews and hesitated at first. But when it hit discount I figured I had nothing to lose.
As the other reviewers noted, this is not the classic R-Type game. It is a strategy game along the lines of the traditional hex-based wargames. I have never really played those original R-Type games anyway so I get to treat this game with a clean slate.
Pros:
- It is very addictive
- Even if you lose a battle you don't lose all your ships. So you at least reap some rewards so that you can build a stronger fleet, learn from your mistakes, and try again.
- Surprisingly when you are close to obtaining victory (while potentially losing it all) this game really does put you on the edge of your seat.
- Missions are long and bountiful (57 missions total). A mission can take at least 20 to 30 minutes to complete. By making the missions long your level of commitment and excitement grows. Even though you seem to be able to plough through your enemies you are always wondering whether the tables could be turned at any moment because the enemy may have additional fighters hiding somewhere.
- Good story that makes you feel like you are in charge of the fleet.
- Supports adhoc mode play though I haven't tried it.
Cons:
- The in-game movies are too slow to load so usually you turn them off. This is a real pity because they could have easily used the geometric representations in the main strategy screen and given this game some kind of 3-dimensional feel.
- There is no way to undo an accidental move.
- Movement of large fleets can be labor intensive since there is no way to group ships into squadrons.
Overall I am very pleasantly surprised by this game. It is the most enjoyable PSP title I've played so far.
