Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
I feel like I shouldn't need to review Raiden to GoG shoppers. Suffice to say this is a very good, and most importantly, very user friendly package.
Everything is wonderfully laid out. Games are quick and easy to swap to and from, and keybindings are shared between all four games. THIS is convenience done right in a compilation package.
This game (Raiden 1 in the collection) pretty much looks and sounds like an exact port of the arcade version. It blows the console versions out of the water. The SNES version is a joke (the graphics look cartoony, imo). The Genesis version is pretty good. But... Here's what Raiden Legacy (Raiden 1) has that the Genesis version (Raiden Trad) does not... Enemy planes catch fire before they go down, there are shadows, more detailed sprites, there are more enemies on the screen at once, and the pace is faster. Best of all, the music/sound really rocks w/ loads of bass (vastly superior to the console versions).
The only negative... occasionally, you might notice a slight drop in framerate in fullscreen mode, probably due to the programming for this game being so ambitious and making it true to arcade.
I set Aspect ratio = original mode (the screen is narrower) and the framerate smoothed out. My PC is a 2GHz dual core and 4GB ram.
So i played like 2 minutes to Test but i already like it :
yeah i know the screen is sqeezed
yeah its hard
BUT IT IS AMAZING:tight gameplay , tight controls , many poeple have running problems but on my pc it just works fine
I say for just 10 bucks you should give it a try
so I'll still need my trusty copy of Raiden Project. But getting the Raiden Fighters games on my PC is a dream come true. Can't recommend these highly enough.
There have been a lot of bad things said about this compilation, as it's a bit buggy. I'm using a pretty new gaming PC, so the issues I've run into have been fairly minimal. The only lag I'm experiencing is at the title screen/main menu, which is a little annoying but it's fine since I'm not experiencing any problems during gameplay.
I love Raiden 1 and 2, and these Fighters games fit in pretty nicely with the series on a number of levels. Love the first entry of Fighters just about as much as the original games, in fact. Fighters 2 and Jet are a little busy for my tastes though. A lot of the time you'll be left wondering what it was that hit you, because it's impossible to see the bullets behind all the fires and explosions. Still fun games though, and feel very in line with what's to be expected. In my opinion, it's good purchase. Shame it doesn't include Raiden II as well, but hopefully they'll add that somewhere down the line.
