4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Shooter for the PS2 Yet!, November 1, 2003

This review is from: NAMCO Time Crisis 3 with Guncon 2 Light Gun (DVD Audio)

This is by far the best Guncon2 game for the PS2. The action is fast paced and the graphics are suburb. The story line is weak and boring, but that is not why most people play a shooting game anyways. The game its self is not terribly long, but no shooter really is. A good piece of advice would be to take it easy on the Guncon2 light-gun. Though they are very accurate they are also very fragile, remember squeeze the trigger don't yank it. If you like shooting games you can not go wrong here. Some other decent Guncon2 games you might want to check out are "Vampire Night" and "Ninja Assault". See You Space Cowboy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two words... LIGHT GUN!!!, February 10, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: NAMCO Time Crisis 3 with Guncon 2 Light Gun (DVD Audio)

This game is FUN, especially if you are a twitch gamer who has a few anger issues (me). The game is basically suped up duck hunt but I don't know why it is SO MUCH FUN. The story mode is great fun and can be finished in a manner of hours if you are good, the challenge mode is very challenging, the unlockable crisis mode is probably the most fun I have ever had sniping in my entire life, and to top it all off, if you have another guncon... Can you say MULTIPLAYER. Also, if you aren't aquainted with time crisis but are with other light gun games there is one BIIIIIIG difference. Instead of desperately plugging everything that moves and preying you get it before it gets you, you can hit one of the buttons on the guncon (or release, depending on your control style)and take cover behind an object nearby. But as with every game... there are drawbacks. For one, if you don't have a guncon and don't have the money for the version w/ the guncon then you have to play with an awkward blue reticle that is INCREDIBLY slow. If you have a larger TV then you cannot hit enemies on the sides (at least, I couldn't). You have to calibrate the darn guncon every time you boot up the game and if you calibrate it wrong then you have to reset the ps2 and try again. The graphics aren't the best on earth. The storyline is wierd and hard to follow (But no where near as bad as kingdom hearts, SHEESH!!!). There is the incredibly tedious hookup process. and if you have a smaller TV... Let's just say you are gonna have to be three inches away from the screen to spot some enemies. PLUS the multiplayer split screen is TINY, VERY VERY TINY and if you want to play like the arcade, you need a ps2 serial link cable(From what I've seen you cannot link two PS2s Via network adapter, sowwy) TWO guncons, TWO TVs, TWO Ps2s, and TWO copies of time crisis 3. If you ain't got the dough you ain't gonna go! Although it seems like the bad outweighs the good, there's just something about nailing terrorists right in the head with a stream of lead that just feels oh so good. This deserves a definate 5 out of 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ah.. the Arcade..., October 29, 2004

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: NAMCO Time Crisis 3 with Guncon 2 Light Gun (DVD Audio)

I always begged my parents to play this game in an arcade. Finally my endless begging has come to an end!Time Crisis 3 is probably one of the overall better games for the PS2. Just like its arcade counterpart, this game is a blast to play! The graphics and sound effects are exactly like the game we're all used to playing... Maybe even BETTER!!!!! Some people complain about the cramped split-screen 2 player function. However, they left out the fact that you can connect 2 PS2s together and play on seprate screens...Just like the arcade! Overall, this is an excellent game that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a new and fresh experience.
