Raiden III

Raiden III, a port of UFO Interactive Japanese arcade game, captures the excitement of top down, 2D firm of days of play and adds some depth PS2, but it fails to be a must buy for fan boys of arch, although you can turn your TV on its side to get the full arcade experience to the screen.

Like any arcade game worthy of the monitor, there is no story to Raiden III. You are a plane (red if you are single player, blue if you are two players) and your goal is to explode everything and anything that pops up in front of you. The first level puts you in the sky above a coastal city that was torn by war. As you head forward, aircraft in formation, tanks on the ground and flying fortresses surge in your path, and that you and your machine guns to get them out unlimited. Bring down the bad guys, and they'll spit power-ups to strengthen your weapons, give you a laser gun or equip you with rockets and missiles. As the game progresses, you begin to see the bad guys increasingly diverse, warships and a giant ship crazy final boss powered by light pink diamonds, but expect the same power-ups and the fairies of 1000 points get ejected. When you run into a big boss or cavalcade of enemies, you can use one of your bombs, a device that illuminates the card while taking on all enemies and weapons on screen, but you're limited to a specific number of explosives, and you want to keep the parties harder.

It seems unsophisticated, and it is but when you initially catch your hands on the classic arcade game Raiden III, you will have a blast. Add a contact to take on the world together, and you have a good time ahead.

Unfortunately, this enthusiasm lasts only seven levels. Of course, there are seven challenges for you to fool around with, but once you finish the game you are given unlimited continues, and that aspires to meet the challenge of higher difficulty. Score Attack adds the game (playing at the individual and try to set the highest score), Boss Rush (seven bosses face on) and a gallery, but how often do you watch your recorded races and look at work Art?

The gap follows in this short title is collision detection. Some enemy fire to destroy you on contact and things will just slide on your plan. When you are in relation to one or two pilots, the various impacts are not a big deal. it is a sort of bonus for those times when you could not get out of the way of enemy fire, but when you do so at lower levels later and the screen is filled with evil, bombs and bullets, you need to know what will kill you and it's going to go through you have to question only complicates the frenetic scene.
