According to ESRB, this game contains: Fantasy Violence

Parents have nothing to worry about with R-Type Final. The game is a throwback to the old arcade era where an anonymous looking spaceship shoots lots of other anonymous looking spaceships/aliens. There's no blood, gore, swearing, or anything of the sort.

Shmup fans will certainly want to have this in their collection. While the game never quite reaches the heights of Ikaruga or some of the import only shooters in recent memory, it's still a entertaining diversion—and the last entry in a classic series.

Casual Gamers might not enjoy R-Type Final—it's a game from another era, and the simplistic gameplay may turn off players used to today's games.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers can play this title without worry. R-Type Final features no spoken dialogue and the sound effects are not important to actually playing the game.
