Summary

The First and last Word in Action. The Raiden Fighters series has finally arrived on the Xbox 360. All three arcade classics have been faithfully recreated in this ultimate collection. A new Training mode lets you modify every aspect your ships and wingmen, skip to any level, or play in slow-motion. Comprehensive screen and control settings let you play each game full-screen as a side-scroller, or even vertically on a rotated 4:3 display. Play 2-player co-op games offline, or play Arcade Mode as a lone-wolf, posting high-scores and gameclips to Xbox Live. [Valcon Games]

A lovingly crafted tribute to some largely unsung shooters, and well worth the list price.

If you’re just curious, then renting might suffice, but given how niche a title Aces is, finding it for rent may be extremely difficult.

TeamXbox

Very primitive, with few options for making it look better.
