Raiden - REVIEW

You'll find this to be the shortest review listed for a game. Everything you've read here is true, and instead of debating on its purchase, let me save you some time, and just say -- buy it! No Jaguar game library is complete without Raiden... and with two players, ain't nothing out there that's closer to the arcade version.

Graphics are superb, Animation rocks!, Music is above average, Playability--for a shooter is up there, and game control is excellent.
