R-Type (iPhone)
You know R-Type. Everybody knows R-Type. It’s been around since round about the time of the Industrial Revolution and everyone’s played it on at least six different formats. If any game’s a classic, it’s R-Type.
The question is not how good a game it is, but how well it works on the iPhone.
The answer: really rather well.
There are lots of control options, but I’ve only used the virtual d-pad option, which shrinks the screen so your thumbs don’t get in the way of the action. A sign of someone actually thinking when porting the game and very welcome indeed.
It’s also been released for the very fair price of £1.19, so if you need yet another version of R-Type in your life (and you probably do) then you could do worse than take a look at this one.
