Game Review (written by Chrissi) Added on: 12/03/2007
River Raid is a great air combat shooter game where you will be taking the control of an airplane. You will be taking part in air combat against your enemies trying to shoot down the planes, helicopters, and ships. If you discover that your plane is running out of fuel, all you will have to do is fly above a fueling station and you will be refueled.
As the player you will have the complete control over the plane.
You have the ability to go from side to side as well as control the speed of your plane. You will be traveling over a river that has been marked with various bridges. The bridges are very vital points for your enemies, so as you are flying try to take out as many bridges that you can.
The further along in the game you get the harder it will become. Enemy units who are attempting to take you out are guarding the entire river. As you travel further down the river the amount of enemy units will increase making the game more difficult. Try you’re hardest to do maneuvers and avoid enemy fire or you will loose.
The level of difficulty that

goes along with this game can be quite difficult to start off. If you haven’t played air simulation games in the past you may want to practice a few times with the air plane flight controls so you aren’t getting frustrated and quit. There is so much action throughout the entire game you won’t want to miss out on it, so take the time to understand the controls and every aspect of the game so it isn’t too difficult.
The graphical design has been done quite well. The scenery that is surrounding the river is well detailed along with your enemy units. Everything about this game has been designed with a lot of thought and characteristics. River Raid has had a lot of work done to it to make it the game that it has become.
Overall River Raid is a great air and ground combat simulation. You will stay in control of a fighter plane the entire time, but you will have just as many enemy units on the ground as you do in the air. The game is fully action packed with no dull moments. Once you get playing this game you will discover how great of a game it is and soon be destroying the enemy with no problem. River Raid has become a great combat simulation and will always be one. After many years of game play, this game will never become boring! It’s worth downloading!
