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.

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.

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.

I bought this for my 15 year old son for Christmas. He loves it and he's got me hooked. The game is everything they say and more! You will not be displeased if this is the genre of game that you like! The only accessory that we need is another gun which we have already ordered!

I've got to be honest, this game has been more entertaining than probably the last three games I've bought, not that they were bad though. The funny thing about these kind of games (so long as you're using a light gun) is that they improve your accuracy with firearms. It's no substitute for real shooting, but then again, how often do you spend hours shooting probably thousands of rounds like in these games? Now, on the game itself, the graphics are good enough, but the arcade style makes it look... well, not real. But then again that is part of what gives the game it's charm. Buy the game, and a light gun!

I like this game mainly because of the guncon. Other than that I would leave this game for the arcade. Unless you can beat story mode all at once, it gets annoying having to play the same levels over and over. Some of the enemies (such as the ones with flamethrowers) are annoying as you lose a life as soon as you try to shoot.

The game is fun, but I would leave prefer to leave at magic mountain (where I usually play it) rather than buying it.

i have time crisis 1,2&3 i enjoy all 3 of them if you big into shooting games its a must have fast paced and in your face need to make every shot count.i love the light gun games.makes you feel like your right there in the action.some of the light gun games can be played with out the light gun but why would you want to that takes all the fun out of it and it makes it all most imposible to play because you have to weight for the dot to get to the person and the games don't slow down for you so if you don't have a light gun don't waste your time.

Time Crisis 3 was a 2003 arcade game it was eventually ported to the PS2 in late 2003. It made use of Sony's Guncon 2 if you never played this game you should buy it or if it's in an arcade put a couple of quarters or tokens in & play it. There's not much to your story like most of your light gun games Giorgio Zott leads an army to take over a small island & our 2 hero's Alan Dunaway & Wesley Lambert go in to stop him. Meanwhile Alica Winston a Liberation Soldier joins you her brother has been captured. Basically you shoot, shoot & shoot some more. A great mindless shooter.

This is a great shootem up game, I'd recommend this over the other guncon 2 style games anytime.
