R-Type: Dimensions Scrolls To Infinity And Beyond On PlayStation 3 May 20th 2014

R-Type: Dimensions is bringing that classic side scrolling, never stop shooting action onto PlayStation 3. You’ll scroll right, shoot until your thumbs bleed and pick up sweet power-ups, what more do you want in an R-Type game?

Of course there are a few new features here, the ability to swap between 2D and pseudo 3D which I’m sure purists will raise their noses at, couch co-op for epic good times with friends, infinite mode, level select, slow motion again the purists want nothing to do with that and finally worldwide leaderboards and tropies to see just how well you stack up against other R-Type: Dimensions players.

R-Type: Dimensions includes the original 8 classic R-Type levels that made it a beast at arcades across the world along with the 6 original R-Type II levels that gave arcade gamers who wanted more all they could handle. R-Type: Dimensions is dropping May 20th 2014 in North America and May 21st 2014 in Europe.
