Looking at the box art, with the horrible color scheme and the blurbs overlapping the screen shots, and reading the manual with some of the most atrocious misspellings of all time, one might get the impression that whoever made RAIDEN TRAD was completely incompetent. However, once you start playing, despite unimpressive graphics and sounds, it all somehow comes together for a very satisfying vertical shooter experience. If looking for a great basic shooter, you cannot go wrong with this title. Just...ignore the poor packaging.
Straight out the hangar, you begin to fire down incoming aircraft and even ground units as they clutter the path ahead. Upgrading your spread-fire guns through power-ups or switch to a concentrated beam of enemy with heavy or homing missiles to add to the carnage, besides your smart bomb that devastates all targets on screen. Challenge bosses at the end of every stage as you compete for the highest score every play-through.
One of the best versions of Raiden out there. This game is highly addicting, and you will come back to this one again and again. I am taking points off due to the washed out graphics, and lack of two player option.
