Description of Raiden II Windows

Raiden II is an excellent sequel to Raiden, one of the best shoot em-ups ever made. The game is not very well known due to its limited distribution (sold in Japan only, ported by Cyberfront Studios), but that doesn't stop us from honoring it here, of course ;)

The plot picks up where Raiden left off. It's been 3 years since you utterly destroyed the alien forces and sent the survivors packing. But the angry stragglers, bent on revenge, returned to their planet and raised a vicious army. Now they're back, tougher, meaner and better armed than before. To turn the tide of battle, the members of Earth's Think Tank regroup, and develop an even more powerful and maneuverable fighter craft.. and guess who they put in the cockpit?

Raiden II has all the addictive gameplay of its predecessor, this time with even sharper graphics and a rocking soundtrack. The graphics are very more detailed, with excellent 3D effects (e.g. flying enemies cast shadows on the ground, so you could distinguish them from ground-based enemies). In contrast to most shoot em-ups where enemies you destroy just blow up and disappear without a trace, enemies in Raiden II blow up, turn into a wreckage, plummet to the ground, and only then explode on impact. This causes a lot of debris to fly around the screen, which in turn cause nice ripple effects on the grass and even on the water once they land -- very, very nice. Background graphics are also excellent, especially in the volcanoes levels.

In addition to the myriad of power-ups and weapons that made Raiden a classic, Raiden II features a powerful new weapon called the Plasma Laser, and new Cluster Bombs: unique defences that make it nearly invincible against the aliens.. but only if you are nimble, of course. No doubt the best weapon in the game, the Plasma Laser homes in on the target, and locks on it until you move or it blows up. The enemy bosses are tougher than in Raiden, so even joystick experts will find a nice challenge in this one.

Overall, Raiden II is a polished and addictive vertical shooter in every respect. a must have for all action fans!

Note: The game is in Japanese, but most menu commands are either in English, or are self-explanatory.

Found this post on GameFAQs that helped me run the game:
In windows 7:
Click 'Start'
then right click 'Computer'
then click 'Manage'
the 'computer management' window will come up,
then click on 'Disk Management' (under 'Storage')
you will need to change the disk drive you have raiden disk or image in to the lowest letter of any of your disk drives.
now, I use Daemon Tools so i changed the drive letter to A, as A and B are usually reserved for floppy drives, you, probably like me don't use floppy drives so I changed Daemon Tools Drive to A from G (my physical drive was E, a higher letter than G thus causing a problem)
The game ISO image or physical disk needs to be in the lowest drive letter, simple, i know, rather silly but it worked.
enjoy :)

raga ma come faccio a giocare con ISO aiuto per favore

He still delivers the same monotone dialog that he made famous in his teenybopper career, but this time keeps his shirt on to actually act. Abduction trailers. Regardless teenage girls and other big fans will not mind as they scream in delight, while those who don't will enjoy watching him get owned in a few scenes.

Just as Samurai Shodown 2 brought an arcade fighter to your PC, Raiden II does the same for this classic shooter. No installation is required, assuming you have Direct X installed. The game is very difficult and due to the small screen size, it's incredibly trying. One of the best changes, however, is that gameplay now encompasses both vertical and horizontal perspectives, an option not available in the arcade version.

Attacking aliens is about the only reason anyone could have for blowing up so many things! As is typical for most shooters, the screen gets cluttered with enemies and you find yourself just holding on to the guns while plowing through them. To its credit, Raiden II never slows down. The screen may be covered with enemy fire and ships but you'll never have a sluggish moment.

Some of the weapons you wield are very powerful. You begin the game with a simple dual firing laser and then, as you get certain power-ups, you're able to use more powerful guns. An example is the continuous-firing purple laser that is a useful weapon against big ships that stay in front of you and don't move.

The available bombs can either destroy a bunch of enemies ahead or those surrounding you. One of the things I've never liked about games like this one is when the ground moves by too slowly. Your ship doesn't appear to be traveling very fast and the enemy tanks on the ground can actually move as fast as you can!

The game, although viewed from a 3D perspective, is decidedly two-dimensional during gameplay as you shoot everything as if it's on the same level (ground or sky). In Darius Twin for the Super NES, one of my favorite shooters, your ship appeared to be traveling along at an incredible speed, action was more spread out, and the levels were varied.

In this game when an enemy fires, bullets are often on the screen for a couple of seconds. The levels are also very much alike as you travel the Earth's landscape to get to the alien stronghold. These differences in gameplay from Darius Twin are presented for comparison purposes and I'm sure there are many gamers who prefer this style.

Raiden II is a popular arcade classic, so the visuals were untouched for the PC version. To see the best graphics, you must play the game at a very basic resolution in a small window on your screen. Although the option exists to play in full screen mode, graphics suffer if you do. The action does not slow down, though, and the graphics aren't incredibly bad at that point, just not nearly as good or smooth as they are in the small screen.

Other than these issues, the game is as close to the coin-op as you can get. The weapons and enemies encountered throughout the levels are identical. If you enjoy these types of shooters then Raiden II will not disappoint. Features are typical of the genre and gameplay is very straightforward and simple: point and shoot!

While there are no instructions or manual, nothing needs to be explained. Gameplay is intuitive and all you need to know are which buttons to push. Overall, Raiden II is a decent arcade shooter for your computer. You can probably find better and more powerful shooting games, but if you're running low on computer space, this is a definite must!

Graphics: Just as in Samurai Shodown 2 for the PC, Raiden II is designed for play in a small screen. Had they changed this, the game would have been much better. But, as is, the graphics are not bad. Imagine playing the Arcade game from about ten feet away.

Sound: The lasers make a decent sound and there's a lot going on with ammunition from other ships and various tanks. The music is just a basic midi-file but serves as decent background to the action.

Enjoyment: Overall, it's fun to play Raiden II but you do tend to get killed a lot and often I didn't see much point in continuing. The action is very cluttered and fast-paced, so, if you like that sort of thing, the game will suit you just fine. It's a very difficult game to defeat, which can also result in discouragement.

Replay Value: The replay value here would be bad if there were no two-player feature. The two-player cooperative game allows you to fight other enemies in a teamwork effort while destroying each other as well.
