    A solid shooter that will get some attention for its nostalgia factor but is ultimately a pretty generic effort.

    Raystorm was a fantastic game on the Playstation, and still one of my favorite shooters on the system, however, Taito really needed to update the game to make it worth the $15 and because of the higher cost and better shooters out there, ahem.... Ikaruga.

    A lackluster reboot effort combined with a premium downloadable price tag result in an offering only suited to massive fans of the original, who should still have their PS1 copies lying around somewhere.

    As a basic XBLA port at half the price, RayStorm might have made for a fun novelty. But it's frankly bewildering that Taito is charging $15 for an extremely marginal upgrade to a game that we played some 13 years ago.

    Lots of comparable options come cheaper and offer more fulfilling shoot-'em-up action than this retread.

    A gaudy glimpse of the bad old days of mid-1990s 3D. And no-one wants that.

    One of the best shooters of the mid-nineties, ruined spectacularly for the 21st Century. [Aug 2010, p.121]

    Esta versión mejora el original en, resolución, texturas, sonido, efectos y todo el juego en general, pero, conservando la sólida jugabilidad del juego de 1996, por lo que es mucho mejor que la versión de PlayStation 1 y, la versión incluida en el recopilatorio Taito Legends, lanzado en 2005 para Playstation 2.

    Si eres fan del original, esta versión es imprescindible.    … Expand
