Yes, R-Type Dimensions III truly is that dreadful, and I never want to think about this remake ever again after this review. I’m angry this will likely be what a lot of people think R-Type III was, and it didn’t deserve such a fate. It didn’t deserve to be shoved out the door at a scam-tier price, but here we are.
AzorMx returns after two years to review R-Type Dimensions III and... does not like it!

Oof, that's disappointing. I'm a die-hard R-Type fan, but I'm going to need to see a patch or a massive sale before I jump on this one, now.
Forbes gives it 4/10

I can't help but think that the price affects the score. A sloppy remake for $15 would be almost acceptable.
Another review for the thread.
Oof!

Yikes! I hope that upcoming patch is really thorough.
