If there was ever any doubt that R-Type II was nothing more than a slightly different version of R-Type then R-Type DX should lay them to rest forever.
You can play this game in 5 ways. First you have the black and white Gameboy version of R-Type. And let's face it, who wants to play that? Or you can play it in color. A wiser choice. This option also features on R-Type II (now missing the cool underwater level seen in the arcades).
Or you can choose to actually play the game as R-Type DX, which is a combination of both. And you'll never know it. It's a bit dull, the infinite continues don't temp me to play for hours on end and the primitive graphics of the Gameboy Color don't do justice to the usually brilliantly detailed R-Type universe.
