These are the best Raiden games. Very good compilation! The only gripe I have with this disc is the lack of Viper Phase 1. It is still not perfectly emulated in MAME.
I know that feeling of joy that comes with the fact that great arcade game is translated to home consoles.
For example, I was a huge fan of Time Crisis series(light-gun shoot'em up game), and I bought every game from Time Crisis 1 to 4, and Time Crisis spin off to PS2, Crisis Zone. And exclusive release to PS-One, Time Crisis Project Titan.
Flashing your 360 is too much of a risk and too much of a hassle. It's not worth getting banned from XBL. I just put up a video on my profile for how to play burned games without flashing your HDD or getting banned.
i played a game like this at the mall a long time ago but not anymore they turned the arcade into a girls clothes store i think they even had a simpsons arcade machine in there too
Damn, glad I googled the game when i saw it on a site. Haven't played a Raiden game for years. My Brother ran into an arcade machine and played it and got me wondering what was out there. After checking out your review, im putting in the order for this. Thanks for the review, hope to see more out there and its damn good to see people excited about these kinds of games that see to be a lost art! just wonder about turn based strategy games..
20 bucks thats not bad buy why the hell would u buy xbox360 games i mean i dont like the controlls on the xbox its just not as good as a mouse and keyborde but i love the game so much i got it on my xbox :D
SWAG, great review, man. And for a "partial reviewer" it was pretty in-depth. Can't wait to see Kwing's review on Punch-Out Wii. Keep it up GameKnights.
Hew SWAG. I love this game but It's in my towns pizza parlor at the arcade section so I don't need to buy it. They have 3 arcade games but they go with quality over quantity. The other game that they have is one of my Favorite games eve. THE SIMPSON'S ARCADE GAME. Speaking of which SWAG can you please review the Simpson's arcade game. It's the best Simpson's game and one of my favorite games of all time.
Hey that's really cool that there is a place with the arcade near you, there hasn't been one near me in a long time. I don't use emulators for reviews so unless The Simpsons arcade game is released for a console or portable, I don't think I'll get a chance to review it. It is a fun game though.
This is one of the games that might make me change my views on the 360. I mean seriously, one of the ships names is Beast Arrow. That just screams of awesomeness.
Man, I remember how SWAG was so excited for this game on GameKnightS Podcast#10. Glad you're doing a review, SWAG, I'm looking forward to see more of you in GameKnights.
None taken. Although I wish he remembered to use the Logo....but oh well. I'll let it slide this time.... but next time...the monkey Ninja's will make sure the Game Knight's logo appears on every review! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You're a true old-school gamer. Raiden is a classic.
