Xbox 360 Critic Reviews

A lovingly crafted tribute to some largely unsung shooters, and well worth the list price.

Raiden Fighters Aces is a shooter fans dream come true. It packs all three Raiden Fighters games in one disc and offers three different game modes for each title. Throw in a training mode and a ton of options and you get one incredible gaming experience.

Essentially, Raiden Fighters Aces provides three games, a plethora of options, and a ton of fun at a low price. Fans of the original arcade games can perfectly re-create their experience, newcomers who like arcade shooters in general will have a blast, and high-score devotees will dedicate hours upon hours to topping the leaderboards.

100% exact port of a stellar series. [Aug 2009, p.74]

Raiden Fighters Aces is a good deal for anybody that loves top-down shooters or has nostalgic memories for Raiden.

If you're just curious, then renting might suffice, but given how niche a title Aces is, finding it for rent may be extremely difficult.

At $20, Raiden Fighters Aces is a good collection of three classic scrolling shooters and fans of the genre will find a lot to like at a low price.

One for shoot-'em-up experts. [Dec 2010, p.98]

Very primitive, with few options for making it look better.

Budget-priced and packed with options, this arcade shooter compilation is a decent game and a good value.
