| * TOLLMASTER: Advertised as “King of the Shooters.” Unless you are a bullet-hell fan, then this is definitely the case. It's the first shooter to really reward you for playing, even if you suck–there are 101 different ships to unlock. As you practice blasting off and striking the evil Bydo Empire, you'll improve in skill and not feel guilty about it as the number of craft you have slowly rises. As with most R-Type games, Final is a “tactical” shooter–success depends not only upon your skill at shooting and dodging, but making the most use of your power-ups and Force Pod configuration. | * TOLLMASTER: Advertised as “King of the Shooters.” Unless you are a bullet-hell fan, then this is definitely the case.

| * LaserGun: Boring and uninspired, only play it if you like collecting/unlocking shit for no real reason. | * LaserGun: Boring and uninspired, only play it if you like collecting/unlocking shit for no real reason. | ||

| * Rudie: While the other Silent Hill games lend themselves to multiple playthroughs, a lot of this game hinges on surprise and not knowing what to expect. You explore the titular room in first-person, and totally hit the shit out of dogs with a charge meter and typical third-person. | * Rudie: While the other Silent Hill games lend themselves to multiple playthroughs, a lot of this game hinges on surprise and not knowing what to expect.
