Raiden Fighters Aces (Xbox 360) Reviews
First of all, let me say that I'm not a die hard arcade-style gamer. I enjoy a wide variety of games, but I've never gotten huge into these types of games. Raiden Fighters Aces is a great collection to own. I've only put about 4 hours into this so far, completing Raiden Fighters and Raiden Fighters 2 on a couple of different difficulties.
The visuals are awesome. The mid-90s hand drawn sprites look great in HD and they are quite impressive given the time they were conceived.
The sound is pretty great with the extremely fast techno songs. And the weapons and explosions sound incredible.
The gameplay is fast-paced and a whole lot of fun. The first two games of the series are fairly short, but the replay value makes you forget they are short. There are a handful of game modes and multiple difficulties to keep you coming back to beat your high scores.
You'll get a lot of hours of gameplay out of this collection, especially for the price.

All three of Raiden's spin-off series, Raiden Fighers, on one disc with almost as many options as you'd find on an emulator like MAME. Change the orientation of the screen, lives, continues, framerate, color filters, interlacing filter thingies, etc. for all three games.
The three games themselves all follow the same formula: Blow up crap, blow up enemies, and blow up boss. BIG SCORE!!! The variety of the ships will keep you playing constantly since it's almost like a fighting game in trying to find that ship that just works right for you. There's only two different styles of weapon power up but they act differently with each ship so it's never boring. Music is thumping industrial/techno. Sound effects are heavy and straight forward. Lots of things to learn about the three games that isn't necessarily present on the surface but you learn as you keep playing over and over again.
Only downside with this game, as I stated in the title is that co-op isn't online. Only local. I mean you get your standard leaderboards but no co-op is almost no go for some. Honestly though, despite that, for $[...], this is a no brainer for anyone who loves shmups.

I found no problems with this game that would make me give it less than 5 stars.
You get to choose one of three games on one disk. Raiden 1,2,3.
Each game offers tons of planes.
The screen is as customizable as possible. You cannot stretch these images as far as your widescreen because its a port from arcades.
