Japanese psn shooters

Matsunaga · Post by **Matsunaga** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 4:33 pm

I recently got some yen in my Jpsn account and downloaded some PS1 shooters, R-Type Delta, Shienryu, and Einhander, but now I'm kind of stuck on what else to get. Are Philosoma, Raystorm, or Raiden worth getting? I'ts kinda hard to find a good review for any of them online.

I'd recommend Raiden for sure. Raystorm is a little different, it's not quite my style, but lots of people really love it and it seems pretty unique. You can try out the PC demo of Kamui (it's on http://shootthecore.moonpod.com/ ) to see if you like the gameplay style, as it's very similar to Raystorm.

Raystorm is pretty good but "different" is a good way to describe it. There is just something about it which doesn't feel right to me.

Raycrisis is also available, as of today.

The original PSX game of Ray Crisis was released on 4/20/2000 for the Japanese market. I personally asked when this game was going to be available for purchase at a Japanese video game store and that was the answer I got. Fine game for it's time. If you do have access to a Taito G-Net mobo, the original version of Ray Crisis exists as a Taito G-Card game cartridge.

Working Designs localized it but after a long and lengthy delay, it finally appeared on the retail shelves across the USA. And even had a another special high score contest like with it's earlier Raystorm $10,000 contest. I won a consolation prize, a cool Working Designs branded Raystorm mouse pad and still use it today. ^_~

I meant it is available in the Playstation network store, as of today, for ps3/psp. It dosen't make sense to me that the Japan store gets 3-4 classic games a week, and the US store gets maybe 1 a month..

Congrats on the high score contest also, a Raystorm mousepad sounds awesome.

I haven't played Philosoma since around 1996. I thought it was only ok back then.

While at the time of its initial release it was interesting, Philosoma is a mediocre title at best that doesn't hold up well. If you are really bored and want something that might hold your attention for a evening or two, then purchase it.

Raiden is by far the best choice of the three!

ZANAC X ZANAC. Nuff said.

I got Raystorm, after doing much research, and it's.. ok. It does look good on the psp screen though. I have played Raiden, and it's alright, but I think I'll hold out and hope Dodonpachi gets released soon.

Which Raiden's on PSN, anyway? DX is a fair bit better than 1 or 2 or Project, though I still wish your fighter moved faster.

I got the R-Types first, of course.

Yeah, I'd pass on that. Some people really love their Raiden, though.

Philosoma is an acquired taste, but the others are cool.
