It's been a while since I've played anything like this, and I love it.
Back in the day it was common to remake an old 2D classic with fancy 3D graphics. It wasn't always successful but I like combining 2D action with 3D graphics.
Anyway this game features photorealistic graphics and classic side-scrolling R-Type shooting action. In fact, the stage designs look so familiar this might be considered a remake.
So far I'm really enjoying it.
