Which series do you prefer? To neophytes they may appear similar, but they're actually very different. I prefer the Gradius games myself -- they have fewer "cheap moments" than R-Types and require less memorization.
R-Type
Gradius
I like them both equally

If I had a Jynx think of the things we can do together. She also kisses alot.
Not to mention her breast plates is obviously hiding something nice

Gradius, please. But I much prefer the Parodious series; too much goofy fun!
I like them both equally, though I own more R-Type games than Gradius games (I still need to get Gradius V, though, and I'd like to get R-Types and R-Type Delta on the PlayStation someday).
I think the poll should be rtype or thunderforce. Although gradius 5 I like for some reason I can't get into the older gradius games as much

R-Type here, Only because it was one of the last arcade games I used to play as a kid, when arcades were worth going to.....
Oh, they're both so delicious. But I'm definitely more of a Gradius man meself. Gradius 3 is still one of my most treasured games in my collection.

Sadly, I haven't played many Gradius game. Whereas several R-Type games utterly sucked me in (especially the original on the SMS), so I had to go with that.
I love both, but I voted R-Type. I prefer R-Type's system.
SEGA!
Id have to say I equally like both the same

R-Type for me. While I love Gradius, the dip in quality and cheapness that occured with entries III & IV left a bitter taste in my mouth, whereas I can't say I disliked any of the R-Types.
Gradius, not only is it one of the grand daddies of modern horizontal shmups (and the power up system at the time was unique), it also got parodied by it's own makers, the delicious fun of Parodius.
Gradius, better music, better gameplay, and I prefer the level designs for the most part.

I had to vote for gradius although I do favor the original R-type arcade over the first few gradius games.
Gradius 5 on PS2 was a godsend thankx to the 2-D gods at treasure.
Yeah, where's Darius? I want my huge metal fishies.

I couldn't choose between to two so I selected the "both" option. They both share the common attributes of being extremely addicting and infuriatingly impossible at points.
The world has moved on and left me behind. Therefore I choose to retreat into the past.
R-type. I prefer the power up system
