Average as a shmup can be. by Mischief Maker 08/10/2015, 9:04pm PDT
The graphics are PS2 muddy-brown, the enemies are just 3D renderings of previous games, the music didn't wow me, the scoring system is just speed kills. The only leg up it has on the rest of the series is no screen wobble (no horizontal scrolling).

It's the low point of the Raiden series, but that doesn't mean it's bad, just forgettably average.

I'd go with Crimzon Clover, Astebreed, Tale of Alltynex, Diadra Empty, Revolver 360 Re:Actor, or even the Raiden Legacy collection before considering Raiden III.
