From the Manufacturer

Time Crisis 3 delivers intense, fast-paced shooting action through the high stakes adventures of the world-renowned VSSE’s top agents. In this installment of the franchise, players take to the Mediterranean coastal nation of Lukano, where Zagorias Federation troops have invaded the land and taken key members of the Lukano Liberation Force hostage. With local residents and neighboring countries facing the worst from a potential missile strike, the VSSE commits its most highly skilled operatives, Wesley Lambert and Alan Dunaway, to neutralize threatening forces and return power to the leaders and citizens of Lukano. Featuring an all-new Weapon Select System, Time Crisis 3 enables players to choose from four weapons on the fly to optimize their gameplay strategy. The Guncon 2 serves as an essential piece of equipment in the player’s arsenal. In addition, Time Crisis 3 includes the original arcade game and console exclusive features, including a more complex storyline, multiple game play modes, sniper combat, and a new playable character.

4.0 out of 5 stars Time Crisis 3- Perfect For Any GUNCON fan!, December 24, 2003

Okay, let me just start off by saying that this game ROCKS! If you are a fan of any Time Crisis game (And many people are), then I would get this game sooner than later.

Gameplay: 5/5-
The gameplay is fast, fun, and even better than the arcade version in that you can play a console-exclusave Rescue Mission mode (In which you carry out special missions in the Time Crisis storyline using new character Alice and a sniper rifle) and Crisis Mission mode (Which is kind of like Rescue Mission mode in that it's console exclusive and it offers new missions). WARNING: THIS GAME CAN'T REALLY BE ENJOYED WITHOUT A GUNCON. IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE ONE, THE PACKAGE OF TIME CRISIS 3 W/ GUNCON2 WORKS WELL

Graphics: 4/5-
The graphics in this game are top-notch. The only reason why it doesn't get a 5/5 in my eyes is that sometimes people fall through walls when shot. That's it. Other than that flaw, the physics are nice as people react properly when shot. If shot in the leg, the fall foward, and fall back if shot in the head. You get the idea.

Multiplayer: 2/5-
This is what killed the game. Unless you happen to have two PS2s and two TVs in the same room, don't expect to get much out of multiplayer. In splitscreen, it's hard to hit the enemies with a GUNCON and instead of dividing the screen in half, it creates two small boxes to play in that leaves half the screen space unused. Linked games are much more fun because you both get your own screen to look at and shoot.

Replay Value: 3/5-
You'll play this game untill you beat arcade mode, get high scores on all of the stages, and get medals on all of the missions. Then you might play arcade mode a little more. All this will only take up about two weekends if you're good, maybe three or four if you're avrage. Or, if you're a big fan (Like me) you'll play this game endlessly.

Well, that's it. In addition to this, I recommend Time Crisis 2. If you don't own a GUNCON2 (You need #2 to play this game), then I suggest getting one from the Time Crisis 3 + GUNCON2 package. Well there you have it. My review of Time Crisis 3.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Crisis 3 is the King of light gun shooters!, December 14, 2003

By 

Tyler King (Alpena, MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Time Crisis 3 (Video Game)

Let me just start off saying that this game is one of the most addictive action games out to date! And I'd also say this is the best Light Gun to date next to the awesome Point Blank series. The game uses the excellent light gun "Guncon 2", which adds to the fun and addictveness of the game. You can now, in "Time Crisis 3", select between 4 diffrent weapons which adds even more to an already great game. Do yourself a favor, if you want an action game that uses a light gun instead of a controller, this should be your top pick! Althought the game is fairly short, there are many unlockables to get, and it is just plain fun to play over and over again. Get two Guncon 2's and you're in two player light gun shooting heaven! Just be sure to get two seperate TV's and an i-link so you each can see what you're shooting better. If you are a fan of Light Gun games, this game is above your expectations, but if you're not a light gun gaming fan, this game might just change your mind! A must have in your PS2 collection with the Guncon 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Game Ever, January 4, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Time Crisis 3 (Video Game)

The kid who can't shoot on the sides of his TV - Get a flatscreen TV. It works better. I have a 24" flatscreen TV in my basement and it works perfectly. I have 1 thing to say about this game - Buy it!!!! It's the best game ever! But don't touch it if you don't have a GUNCON2. Get the package for $60 Great Deal considering the game costs $50 on its own. Awesome with the GUNCON2! Its short though but I still found it very difficult to beat the whole thing on story mode... Then there's multiplayer(I don't really like multiplayer that much because it's kinda weird to have a split-screen while using a GUNCON2. I think it's better to play the one-player mode and just swich off with your friends) and another mode that you are a lady and can use a sniper rifle.
Overall Stuff
Gameplay 5/5 - soooooooooo fun! great for guests
Multiplayer 2/5 - dunno, some poeple like it
Replay value 4/5 - too short, but it's fun to keep playing it over again, you can still play the other modes
Graphics 4/5 - good graphics

Designers of this game: make another time crisis game, and make it longer!!! That would make it perfect
