R-Type DX is one of several ’R-Type I II’ compilations released out there and it’s not too shabby all things considererd. Sure it doesn’t really match R-Type Complete CD (PCE-CD) R-Types (Playstation) or R-Type Dimensions (Xbox 360) but Bits Studios crammed a surprising degree of content into such a small cart. In addition to being able to play original GB versions of both games you can also play color-enhanced versions of both games as well as ’R-Type DX’ which is both games combined for the ultimate challenge. You can also unlock various things by beating the games and the game provides a pretty good challenge. The game looks and sounds decent for a GB/GBC title. The only real drawback is that there is quite a lot of flickering especially on attacks like large beams and such and given that your ship is relatively large and can barely dodge these attacks in a small corridor when they’re VISIBLE dodging them when they’re invisible or partially visible is not cool at all. If you know what you’re doing you can neutralize a threat before it comes down to this but that’s not the point. All in all a decent handheld version of R-Type and R-Type II. Enjoy.
