  1. Raiden III is a good shmup. Its solid looking, has good bullet patterns/enemies, and the levels are set at just the right level in terms of fun and difficulty (there are also multiple difficulty options available from the start).
  2. It’s one of those games that fans will probably enjoy, even if there’s little that stands out other than the Dual mode. [JPN Import]

A "must have" since you can pick it up online or bargain bin for around $20. Full Review »

The music is not bad, but sometimes lack in excitement. Definitively a must-have-game for all space shooter fan. Full Review »
