Classic Game Room HD - RAIDEN IV on Xbox 360 review

Classic Game Room HD reviews RAIDEN IV for Xbox 360! One of the greatest SHMUPS ever made has landed on your non-Japanese region blocked game console, hooray for Raiden! SHMUP goodness in full high definition, Raiden IV is smooth, explosive and hard as nails. Dodge more bullets than you can shake an copy of Raiden III at, Raiden IV is not for scaredy-cats who can't take the heat of the virtual 2D battlefield that doesn't really exist yet it's still hot anyway. This CGR review of Raiden IV has gameplay from Raiden 4 on Xbox 360 showing the game play in this vertical scrolling 2-D shooter SHMUP for Xbox 360. CGR is playing on an American Xb0x 360 where you can earn Raiden IV achievement points and compete on an awesome global leaderboard full of people who are waaaay better than you. Holy Raiden Raiden, this is almost becoming an exciting time for Japanese space ship shooter fans with new releases of Raiden 4, Raiden Fighters Aces and R-Type Dimensions (and that one I can't spell on PS3). Is the era of non-stop 2D shooters coming back?? Probably not, but as long as we get some of them we're happy. Raiden IV will appeal to fans of Giga Wing, MUSHA, Thunder Force, Gradius, Galactic Attack, Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun and Mars Matrix. With numerous difficulty settings. leader boards, amazing visuals, awesome music and def gameplay, Raiden 4 is out of this world!

The fact that they remixed the songs from Raiden II makes me want to buy this even more....

In a world of bland first-person shooters and stylized polygon graphics with nothing more to add to fun gaming, Raiden and other shmups are a breath of fresh air. The creators of these games truly love what video games are about. Great 2-d graphics, sound fx, music, challenging gameplay... and, yes, it's surprisingly cheep at 20 bucks (tops!). Raiden is also very addicting once you learn the attack patterns. Seriously, buy it so they make more of them!

@abinaber Get a Dreamcast one can be had for $25 and you have a ton of games available....

[bacardipr05]

This would make a great dreamcast game unline the PS2 i suspect this game will be right at home on the little white box....
