It wouldn't be Raiden without drab backgrounds and especially without fast bullets.

Although, that city stage is a lot flashier than the series' norm.

I'm still hoping for a PC port like what 1, 2 and 3 got. If it only comes to the 360, I fear it'll be a long time before I get my hands on it... and that's just unacceptable

You think it's good? Surely you can't be happy not everybody will have easy access to this game? I think the more people that have the option of getting into shmups, the better... Can there really be an argument for restricted releases? I guess they let developers take business risks in design by slimming the production and distro costs...

That said, though I'll bemoan spending the cash, I'm secretly looking forward to buying yet another import console, and the JPN 360 is shaping up to be the daddy of current-gen machines for shmups (sorry, 'Aczaps')...

RuffNEC · Post by **RuffNEC** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 4:58 pm

well you're right its not really good when you can't compare the scores with your m8s

Was it them who said that they'd be releasing Karous here as well?

Or was that O3?

I think their region locks are software based.
