The original R-Type is back with a bang this time for iPhone and iPod Touch users. Electronic Arts are bringing back 80′s classic retro gaming with style. Anyone who played R-Type back in the day will remember how fun but also challenging R-Type was. The iPhone port is no different and stays as true to the classic as possible (without the physical d-pad). Controls are actually pretty decent, you can also choose a tilt control that uses the accelerometer and this also works suprisingly well.

There isn’t a lot more that needs to be said about this game besides: Buy It! 5/5
