This game for the x360 is fantastic. It is finally Actual arcade style graphics that I so love in the arcade cabinet unit, at home on my Xbox360. This game is unbelievable good. Although I still give Raiden Fighter Aces my better score if for the game music. But Raiden 4 still impresses me with the detail in the graphics and gameplay. Both Raiden4 and Raiden Fighter Aces are excellent games that are must for any shooter fan of this genre. C'mon PS3 where are the shumups!! For now Xbox360 is king!

This is a truly valuable addition to anyone's game library. If you like Japanese style shootem up games this is one of the best choices you can make.

When you put the disk in the main menu offers multiple modes, such as arcade mode, 360 Mode, and I think one more.
Each mode offers multiple difficulty settings from very easy to ultimate, which is the best part.

The game appears to be constantly running at 60 frames per second because it is a combination of 3d and 2d graphics.

If you wanted to, it even will rotate the gameplay area if you want to put your tv sideways. Some TVs do that.

This review is from: Raiden IV (Video Game)

When Raiden Fighter Aces was released for the XBox 360 not too long ago, I was happy to see one of my all time favorite franchises make the leap to next-gen gaming. With Raiden IV, the leap of the franchise continues as the game provides a boat load of fun, old school, shooting action. There's a decent amount of play modes to keep you occupied, and the hi-res graphics are wonderfully rendered as well. If there's any drawbacks to Raiden IV, it's the same brand of drawbacks that accompany every other installment of the Raiden series: the gameplay is in itself shallow, and the game as a whole just isn't long enough. That aside though, the overall package of Raiden IV is lovely regardless, and the inclusion of a CD soundtrack with this Limited Edition is a nice little bonus in itself.
