''Razing Storm'' is a [[Light Gun]] [[Rail Shooter]] arcade game developed and published by [[Namco Bandai]] Games for the System 357<ref>Namco's arcade board based on the [[Play StationPlayStation 3]]</ref> board.
 
You play as two members of a special forces unit, identified as [[Code Name|Alpha One and Alpha Two]], to fight futuristic terrorists. Most of the game primarily involves the use of an machine gun that is effective against soldiers and lightly armoured personnel. At certain points, you will fight against the terrorists' [[Mecha-Mooks|death machines]]. These include the fast but weak [[Mini-Mecha]] "Raptor", a [[Spider Tank]], and [[Humongous Mecha]] known as "Kraken", forcing you to change weapons. Your mission is to eliminate the terrorist threat and destroy the enemy's headquarters, while battling the terrorists and their [[Humongous Mecha]] in the process.
Line 25:
* [[Kill Sat|Satellite pointer]] (to destroy the enemy HQ and the [[Spider Tank]])
 
The ''sequel'' to this game is soon to be ported to ''[[Play StationPlayStation 3]]'' under the new "Move" controls (which unfortunately turned the game into something akin to a [[First-Person Shooter]]). Two other arcade shooters will be packaged with it: ''[[Time Crisis|Time Crisis 4]]'' (the arcade, not the earlier console version) and the obscure ''[[DeadStorm Pirates]]''.
In the sequel mode, the player controls Delta 1 and fights in battles before, during, and after the arcade version, eventually completing the ''sequelhook' rescue mission and battling {{spoiler|the not-dead Paulo Guerra}}
 
Line 32:
=== '''This game provides examples of:''' ===
 
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]: In the [[Play StationPlayStation 3]] version of Razing Storm, you play as one of the special forces guarding Paulo Guerra's prison. {{spoiler|He gets shot dead by one of Paulo Guerra's ''own'' special forces. Then you get to use the main characters again}}.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: A LOT of your squad members get shot down- in the first stage, no less than ''four''. Can happen to you at the end of stage 3, if you fail to counter the [[Spider Tank]]'s [[Last Ditch Move|last ditch]] [[Macross Missile Massacre]].
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: This is how you defeat [[Humongous Mecha|Krakens]], as well as the [[Final Boss]] (a [[Cool Airship]] that exposes its weak spot when it fires its [[Wave Motion Gun]]).
Line 99:
* [[Nintendo Hard]]
* {{spoiler|[[No Ending]]}}: {{spoiler|After completing Stage 4, your squad receive a message that Bravo Team (the other team) was intercepted and captured. As your squad ready to rescue, credits roll.}}
* [[No One Could Survive That]]: Remember how Paulo Guerra got hit by the satellite beam in the arcade version? {{spoiler|He's alive and kicking in the [[Play StationPlayStation 3]] sequel}}.
* [[One-Man Army]]: Not quite. You work in a special forces squad, but kind of played straight as you're the guy doing the most damage to the enemy.
* [[Powered Armor]]: Known as HACS (Heavy Armour Combat Suit), and serve as the [[Giant Mook|Giant Mooks]] of the game. Can take quite a bit of damage compared to the regular terrorists. You fight a ''lot'' of them near the end of the final level ([[Multiple Endings|if you survive the end of the third mission, that is]])
Line 108:
* [[Red Shirt]]: Many of your squad teammates- at least four get downed in the very first stage.
* [[Remilitarized Zone]]: The first, second and fourth stages are a shopping complex, town and city that have been taken over by the terrorists and their [[Mecha-Mooks|death machines]]. Expect LOADS of gunfire, [[Beam Spam|lasers]] and at least a rocket [[Macross Missile Massacre|or more than ten]].
* [[Retirony]] : In the [[Play StationPlayStation 3]] version of Razing Storm, two soldiers in a sentry tower at the start are discussing about being on break the next day as well as seeing their kids. [[Red Shirt|No surprise as to what happens to them next]].
* [[Rewarding Vandalism]]: Destroying buildings not only nets you points, but dogtags which will extend your life bar during the [[Spider Tank]]'s [[Taking You with Me]] [[Macross Missile Massacre]]. Destroying huge chunks of terrain will cause them to fall on the terrorists, taking out many at one go (and hence saving time and earning more points)
* [[Sequential Boss]]: All the bosses are like this in some form. The Kraken of the first stage is fought on a platform that gets destroyed in the second half, the [[Spider Tank]] of the third stage jumps all over and hides in buildings, and the [[Final Boss]] is attacked from the underside first, before it is attacked in the frontal [[Wave Motion Gun]].
Line 114:
* [[Spider Tank]]: One of the enemies you fight in the third level is this. Also, Krakens can be considered as one.
* [[Spiritual Sequel]]: To ''Crisis Zone'', no less.
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Title]]: The [[Play StationPlayStation 3]] version is called ''[[Time Crisis]]: Razing Storm''.
* [[Stealth Based Mission]]: The first part of stage 3 is this. You have to [[Boom! Headshot!|snipe the terrorists]] without alerting the lot. If you get caught, you have to kill more enemies, causing you to take more time and potentially more damage, and lose a LOT of your time bonus.
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: The terrorists with light armour, the [[Powered Armor|HACS]], the [[Mini-Mecha|Raptors]], the [[Humongous Mecha|Krakens]], the [[Spider Tank]], the [[Cool Airship]] [[Final Boss]], and some parts of the terrain like generators, cars and other flammable stuff.
Line 125:
** They have guns. Does it not cross their minds to ''shoot at the player(s)?''
* [[True Final Boss]]: The [[Cool Airship]] [[Final Boss]] can be ''somewhat'' considered this, as the fourth and final stage is an extra stage of sorts.
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: The sequel on the [[Play StationPlayStation 3]] became more like a [[First Persoon Shooter]] than a [[Light Gun Game]]. No wonder it got poor reception.
* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|The Very Definitely Final Stage]]: Stage 4, billed as a "bonus stage", sort of counts as this. You need to finish it for the better ending and to get your initials on the high score boards (if you manage to score high enough).
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: The first boss you fight, a [[Humongous Mecha|Kraken]]. If you didn't have enough practice with the shield, you ''will'' get hurt a few times from [[Beam Spam]].
