 Close to the arcade, but better April 10, 2010

Bought this because it was on sale, and remembered how fun it was in the arcade. The game does a pretty good job of staying true to the original, but with better graphics. If you like the arcade version, can't see why you wouldn't like this one. Best part about it is, it won't cost you a million quarters to win now!
 Wonderfully enjoyable arcade shooting action January 11, 2010

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.
Classic SHMUP with a modern twist October 19, 2009

The Raiden series has always been interesting as each numbered sequel (I'm not including the Raiden Fighters Series) has pretty much been a slight tweak on the original game. The level graphics and enemy patterns differ from game to game, but the bosses are almost identical. Raiden 4 is no different and you'll notice from the moment you pop in the disk that this is just an updated version of the game you know and love. I have marked down the overall score for this as some may argue that this repetition diminishes the game's value, but as a fan of the series it is something I have come to expect.
The graphics are great and runs wonderful on the XBOX 360 hardware and looks even better if you can turn your TV on its side and play in TATE mode. No online multi-player for those that are wondering (local only) but that is ok as even the slightest hint of lag would lead to instant death in a game like this. However Raiden IV does have online leaderboards allowing me to relive my glory days of fighting to get the highest score in the arcade. In fact you can also download the replays from the top players to see just how they rack up those high numbers.
All in all I found this game to be a great purchase and was worth every penny spent on it. The game was ported with much tender loving care, much more than has been afforded other games in the genre, plus since the game is disc-based I have 1000 gamerpoints to unlock.
Highly recommended!
Very Good and Very Cutomizable Game October 15, 2009

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.
Arcade style SHUMUP!!! October 14, 2009

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!
