Raiden IV Co-Optimus Review

Co-Optimus: A few months ago we reviewed Raiden Fighters Aces for the Xbox 360. It was a collection of "classic" Raiden Figthers games for the 360 with some incredible value. A few months later we have a full sequel to Raiden III on the same platform, one that's enhanced from the arcade version of Raiden IV. Not much has changed from the familiar Raiden formula and game style, but the biggest change that is immediately noticeable are full 3d graphics. Gone is the sprite based gameplay we've all grown accustomed to, in its place are some monumental looking environments and effects. Your purple laser never looked so good. 3.5/5
