Raid: World War II vs Raiden

Raid: World War II drops you into an alternate 1940s where the Nazis dominate and hope is scarce. Join up to three friends in a gritty, story‑driven shooter that blends classic WWII settings with role‑playing choices and adventure pacing. The game offers a four‑player co‑op campaign across varied European locations, letting you steal, fight, and sabotage the enemy to turn the tide. With customizable weapons and a focus on teamwork, every mission feels like a high‑stakes raid against the Axis forces.

In the year 2090, humanity faces an alien onslaught from the Cranassians. The World Alliance Military deploys the Raiden Supersonic Attack Fighter, a captured alien craft turned weapon, to turn the tide. Players pilot this craft through eight vertical scrolling missions, dodging enemy fire, destroying robots, buildings, and aircraft while collecting bombs, missiles, and medals for high scores. After defeating the Stage 8 boss, the mission loops back to Stage 1 with faster enemies, rewarding players with a million points per loop. The game offers both single‑player and cooperative modes, delivering classic arcade action on the PlayStation 3.
