The legendary shooter returns in the third installment of the Raiden series. It's what is known as a bullet-hell game which means a lot of dodging and shooting through seven levels of spaceships and tanks. You get three different weapons: Vulcan Shot, Laser and Proton Laser, each of which has a power level. The Sub Weapons are Nuclear , Radar and Homing Missles.
Difficulty: 5/5
At first, i tried playing it on the hardest difficulty and boy was it hard. I couldnt even make it past the first level! i only used three lives and 2 bombs (which is default) and only made it half way through the level.
Audio: 3/5
The soundtrack on this game was not very impressive with me. Sure, at first it was catchy but after awhile it got on my nerves
Graphics: 5/5
Pretty impressive work they did here on making the game 3d. I was definitely impressed with the way they made the weapons unique!

Replay Value: 4/5
You get two different modes to choose from after you beat the game: Score Attack and Boss Rush mode. The best thing about this game is you can play with a buddy! I seriously recommend this game to those who are a big fan of this game
