You need to tilt the stick toward your enemy and press attack simultaneously, which causes Raiden to throw up his defense. The formula for success gets old quickly: slash away until you see an enemy telegraph an attack, block, and resume slashing.īlocking is easier said than done, since it isn’t assigned to a single button. Basic button mashing is usually fine, since few foes need to be approached with specific tactics. Raiden has a decent selection of special attacks, but the lack of variety in enemies and encounters means that you aren’t required to master them. The graphics are fantastic, the moves look cool, and the framerate is smooth, but battles aren’t demanding.
Revengeance seems engineered to look like a great action game from a distance, only to fall apart upon closer inspection.Ĭombat is entertaining, but “style over substance” is the defining theme. I know all of that sounds perfect, but the pieces don’t fit together properly. He fights weird bosses, gains new weapons, and purchases new moves and upgrades. Raiden faces off against hordes of robots and cyborg soldiers, chops them into bits with a high-frequency blade, and generally looks awesome while doing so.
Revengeance capitalizes on over-the-top combat in the vein of Bayonetta and Devil May Cry. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance finally puts his stylish and brutal repertoire at your fingertips, but this cyborg ninja continues to linger in the shadow of his betters. After that, fans forgave him for replacing Solid Snake in MGS 2, and the unthinkable happened: Raiden became cool.
His transformation into an unstoppable cyborg ninja was revealed in Metal Gear Solid 4, where he dispatched enemies with improbable cinematic flair. Raiden has come a long way from the inexperienced wuss who disappointed fans everywhere.
