Xbox 360 Critic Reviews

Whether as a Raiden game or a general shoot-em-up, Raiden IV doesn't really take any steps forward. That's not so bad, though: it looks good (better than most other similar games on Xbox 360), plays good, and has a suitable amount of extras. For a shooter enthusiast, it's just about all you can ask for -- and at around $40, less than standard retail price. It's just nice to see Raiden again.

It’s a solid shooter with all of the essential criteria in place, from the exaggerated firepower to the insuperable difficulty.

Raiden IV could’ve been a genre godsend for a devoted fanbase; instead, it proves merely adequate.

Only hardcore shooting fans with a lot of extra pocket change should consider buying Raiden IV.
