Back in the day, the Dreamcast was our beloved system of choice for home shmup conversions. That platform was where we enjoyed games such as Zero Gunner 2, Psyvariar 2, and Ikaruga. Maybe the Xbox 360 will become the new system of choice for hot home shmups like the upcoming Otomedius and today's Raiden IV.Moss' Raiden IV release is an Xbox 360 exclusive (for now) so fans of the game who are still on the fence are forced to purchase a Japanese X360. New features in the home conversion include a "Boss Rush Mode," two new stages in the Xbox 360 mode, and two downloadable ships (Fairy and Fighting Thunder Mk-II) to twitch-maneuver around the stages. An online ranking mode allow elite players to show off their scores and square them off against other players. The Xbox 360 mode features a number of convenient options including a stage selector after you've conquered the various levels. The Options section allows TATE aspect viewing but you'll have to rotate your monitor or 300 lb WEGA 90°counterclockwise.
As a bonus for gamers who buy early, Moss includes a bonus Raiden IV Ooparts CD in every copy of the first printing.
