R-Type III: The Third Lighting

"The game consists of seven stages that will take players through such locales as a space factory, foundry, bioorganic lair, and garbage dump."

"Though many people aren’t fond of ports, R-Type III was a commendable choice given the fact that it was so entertaining, not to mention a relatively uncommon title to find these days for the SNES (it can go for a decent amount on eBay)."

"If a game succeeds, I'll give it props. R-Type Final succeeded because a lot of effort went into it and it said farewell to a series in true Irem style. R-Type III: The Third Lightning fails miserably because no care went into the product."

"R-Type III for the GBA is a terrible port of a great SNES game."

"The less unforgiving of the R-Type III's, the GBA port does away with a two player mode and unlimited contines and replaces them with pure malice. Hate it right back for the best results!"
