Raiden IV

The legendary arcade shooter has returned once more! Raiden IV is another entry in the long-running series of vertical shooters. The game includes a direct conversion of the original arcade game, as well as an "Xbox 360 Mode" which has reworked enemy patterns and two completely new stages. Also included are a boss rush mode, a score attack mode, replay saving, and a ship model gallery.

The game looks and plays much like the previous title, and features the same upgradeable weaponry the series is known for: standard vulcan fire, high-powered laser fire, and the famous purple plasma beam "toothpaste laser". There are also three different sub-weapons to pick up. The game offers eight difficulty settings, and can be played solo, two-player cooperative, or in "dual mode" where one player controls two ships simultaneously. Extra player ships can be purchased from Xbox Live Marketplace.
