Collector interest
The concluding entry of Taito's Ray trilogy, a shoot 'em up with a multi-lock system and a polished electronic aesthetic, set against the series' chronology. Still common in the West, its interest lies in this strong visual and sonic identity rather than scarcity. A piece valued by fans of lock-on shmups, accessible on the market.
Is RayCrisis - Series Termination still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2000 on PS1, Taito's sequel crowns the RayForce and RayStorm lineage with a magnificently cybernetic vertical shooter. The multi lock system and the handling of two depth planes keep a rare intelligence. The staging of an invasion through a computer system installs a cyberpunk narration of real elegance, and Tamayo Kawamoto's electronic music remains exceptional. The nervous difficulty demands training. Recommended today for fans of vertical shoot 'em ups, for Taito devotees and for PS1 collectors hunting a defining classic of the label on Sony's first home console hardware.
