Chances are that if you are a long time gamer, you'd have heard of the Raiden series. A scrolling shoot 'em up kind of like the classic Capcom arcade shooter 1942, the Raiden games have always offered simplistic fun, and Raiden 3 is no different. Raiden 3 doesn't really do much to change up the gameplay elements of the series, and for new fans it is easily accessible. The game is pretty challenging, and the two-player co-op mode is undoubtedly the best way to play the game. However, the generic gameplay can get boring really quickly, and there really isn't much here in terms of replay value or total game length either. Not to mention that there is basically nothing here that you haven't seen before in other games in the Raiden series, or other scrolling shooter games before or after it either. All that being said, Raiden 3 isn't a bad game one bit, and it's definitely worth a look for longtime fans of the series or genre, but there's just not enough here to warrant any more than just a quick checking out.

Now when you hear a person say , "Man! I wish some of those old great classic game's of the past could be given a 21st century makeover on our newer systems." Well that's exactly what you have here folks.

Longtime fans will have a blast rediscovering the great time they had in the arcade with the new look and enhanced graphics , which may I say are very , very cool , while maintaining the look and feel of the original. Newer kids discovering Raiden today will enjoy the shoot'em up fun of retro yesteryear.

The Game's onscreen Display come's in 4 different options: The classic look of the original arcade version / a slighty wider-enhanced version / and two fuller screen option's , which came as a nice little bonus. So if you can find this game for under $15 , then it's a no-brainer.
