Raiden II (雷電II Raiden Tsū?) is the sequel to the arcade game Raiden.

[edit] Description

This game expanded on the original formula with enhanced graphics and two new weapons (Plasma Beam, which can lock on to a target but does damage slowly; Cluster Bomb, which does less damage than regular bombs but strike a larger area). There are 8 missions in the game, and the bosses are (unofficially) called Death Walkers, Ichneumon, Shadow Submarine, Fort Cyclops, Dread Bomber, Manticore, Whisper and Cranassian Headquarters.

[edit] Port

Raiden II was ported to Windows by Kinesoft, and Microsoft Corporation. In addition, this game and the original Raiden were released for the PlayStation as The Raiden Project.
