I have no knowledge of the previous installments of the series, and so I apologize ahead of time if you don’t believe that I’ve done this game justice. With that being said: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to my review of Raiden IV: Overkill! Raiden IV: Overkill is a remake of the original Raiden IV that was released back in 2008 in Japan, and in 2009 in North America for the Xbox 360. It wasn’t well-received in North America because of its steep price of $40. At this price, it was almost certain that this game would be bought mostly by hardcore fans of the shoot ‘em up genre. Now, the game has been re-released for half the price, with a total of three fighters (Fighting Thunder ME-02 Kai, Fighting Thunder Mk-II, and Fairy) that all have special attacks of their own, and a new “Overkill” game mode. Now, let’s dive into this game, shall we?"
It’ll come with a special OST with a total of 27 music tracks as well as a secret PDF art-book.
Cheaper than the Xbox 360 version, more accessible to newcomers and home to an array of new challenges for veterans, Raiden IV: Overkill offers up a package that is very difficult to criticise.
"UFO Interactive brings PS3 owners the awesome Raiden IV Overkill, an enhanced version of 2009's Raiden IV, which saw release on the Xbox 360. With a host of new features and an enhanced online ranking system, how does it stack up?"
