The job is easily done once you have the triple laser cannon with the quadrupled missile. For destroying special vehicles, ammunition depots or fuel tanks you will earn extra points, power-ups and medals. At the end of the level you will get some boni - of course.
To finish each level you finally have to kill the stage-boss-fortress-ship-whatever. Take your bombs here for having an easy job. The variety of graphics in the eight levels is great. You fly over forests, cities, lakes and meadows killing a lot of different enemies and leaving lots of scrap behind you.
The vertical scrolling is mostly fluent. It is a bit slower when there is lots of enemies and speeds up when you killed them. You can set the difficulty to three different levels, but this does not increase the amount of enemies - it just changes the amount of credits you have.
Raiden is a nice little game that is OK for some time of fast shoot'em up fun - as long as you do not expect the ultimate challenge for genre-specialists. Due to the nice multiplayer-option and my opinion that sound is a secondary thing I give 4 points. Very simple and quite fun, though it does get a little repetative, this game gets very hard. As it's one hit, one kill for the enemy.
Quite a good game with decent graphics and fitting sound as well but only a 7 because of the over and over style gameplay it has which is a bit sad as it would otherwise be a much better game. Raiden is a good PC translation of a popular console shoot-em-up.
Standard fare here-- shoot baddies, collect power-ups, and overcome end-level bosses. The plot: Mother Earth has fallen to deranged aliens. Now, as pilot of the Raiden Supersonic Attack Fighter, you must rip through the enemy lines and mount a daring counterattack. Raiden successfully enhances the vertical-shooter excitement of an all-time arcade favorite with brilliant sounds and exceptional speed and motion.
All the ingredients of a great shooter are here, but the extremely unforgiving gameplay will leave newbies wishing for an easier game. Recommended to expert gamers only or those looking for a real challenge! Also be sure to check out the excellent but little-known sequel Raiden II, also on this site.
One of those top-down shooters that flooded the scene during the late eighties and early nineties, Raiden is no different than the others.
Fly around and shoot at anything you see is all you gotta do, but good thing is that you can do it with a friend instead of flying around alone. As you shoot at everything you will be able to collect various gun and rocket upgrades as well as to collect bombs and extra lives.
Brainless shooter for the end of the hard working day. How to run this game on modern Windows PC? Contact: , done in 0. Search a Classic Game:. The game, although viewed from a 3D perspective, is decidedly two-dimensional during gameplay as you shoot everything as if it's on the same level ground or sky.
In Darius Twin for the Super NES, one of my favorite shooters, your ship appeared to be traveling along at an incredible speed, action was more spread out, and the levels were varied. In this game when an enemy fires, bullets are often on the screen for a couple of seconds. The levels are also very much alike as you travel the Earth's landscape to get to the alien stronghold. These differences in gameplay from Darius Twin are presented for comparison purposes and I'm sure there are many gamers who prefer this style.
Raiden II is a popular arcade classic, so the visuals were untouched for the PC version. To see the best graphics, you must play the game at a very basic resolution in a small window on your screen. Although the option exists to play in full screen mode, graphics suffer if you do. The action does not slow down, though, and the graphics aren't incredibly bad at that point, just not nearly as good or smooth as they are in the small screen. Other than these issues, the game is as close to the coin-op as you can get.
The weapons and enemies encountered throughout the levels are identical. If you enjoy these types of shooters then Raiden II will not disappoint. Features are typical of the genre and gameplay is very straightforward and simple: point and shoot! While there are no instructions or manual, nothing needs to be explained. Gameplay is intuitive and all you need to know are which buttons to push.
Overall, Raiden II is a decent arcade shooter for your computer. You can probably find better and more powerful shooting games, but if you're running low on computer space, this is a definite must! Had they changed this, the game would have been much better. But, as is, the graphics are not bad.
Imagine playing the Arcade game from about ten feet away. Sound: The lasers make a decent sound and there's a lot going on with ammunition from other ships and various tanks. The music is just a basic midi-file but serves as decent background to the action. Enjoyment: Overall, it's fun to play Raiden II but you do tend to get killed a lot and often I didn't see much point in continuing.
