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.
