By James CunninghamRaiden V is a good, solid shooter and it helps that it's got the power of its heritage to draw on.

By Paul SullivanThe translation is unbelievably, hilariously bad.

By Ken McKownI love the shooter genre, and feel like we don’t see enough of these titles anymore. I am always happy to see a new one crop up, but with its lack of modes and hefty price tag, it feels like this game is really taking advantage of the players like myself just wanting a new game in the genre.

By RichRaiden V’s true longevity comes from its leaderboards, where true fans of the game will strive to hit the high scores
The Cube
By Zack HageRaiden V is packed to the brim with content, but I couldn’t imagine finishing all of it, unless I was a true fan of the series. It’s still fun to play with an appreciative birds eye view, but the high asking price lessens the experience to something only a professional would ask for. In that scenario, it’s the head of it’s game.
