Shoot. Evade. Destroy! Fight your way through countless enemies as you pilot the legendary Raiden fighter in this latest installment for your PlayStation 2. Enhanced Graphics – The series has transitioned from its 2D roots to 3D, creating lush environments, devastating explosions and countless enemies, without a drop in frame-rate. All the favorites are back, including all the weapons (ie, spread shot, laser cannon, and proton laser), bigger then life boss battles, and the insane amount of enemies populating the screen at one time. Two players can play together to push back the invading forces, just like in the arcade. There is also a new 'multiplayer' mode that lets one player control two ships. There are several new modes within this title that can be unlocked, including Boss Rush (which lets you battle against bosses you have conquered) and Score Attack Mode (replay levels to obtain the highest score). There is also a Replay mode, so you can analyze your play as well as that of the bosses, and a gallery mode, which holds images, easter eggs, etc. when it is unlocked. There are also several new options so the player can tailor fit the game to maximize their experience, making for the most complete shooter on the PS2. [UFO Interactive]

Raiden III is stale comfort food for arcade fans; it's pleasant, but will make you wonder why the old games still taste so much fresher. [July 2007, p.85]

There, however, is one thing that sets Raiden III apart from the shooter pack: it's single-player mode enables you to control both warplanes at once, essentially playing co-op with yourself. It's simple, really - the left analog stick and shoulder buttons control one ship, and the right analog stick and shoulder buttons control the other.

A purebred '80s throwback, Raiden III hasn't a chance of competing with exciting modern shooters - or even the classics of yesteryear. Look elsewhere for your shoot-'em-up thrills. [Oct 2006, p.104]
