4.0 out of 5 stars Good game, but can be better, October 9, 2001

First of all, a lot of people are wondering, if the original Guncon will work on Time Crisis 2. The answer is YES. You can use the original Guncon for Time Crisis 2. You don't really need the Guncon 2.

However, Guncon 2 offers more buttons, such as the following buttons:
- Start
- Select
- Thumbcon (direction pad)
- C button

I am not sure what these extra buttons for except the Start and Select. I haven't played the game long enough to tell.

The new Guncon 2 is more accurate than the original Guncon. However, I prefer the original Guncon more because:

1. Guncon 2 is made with cheap orange plastic. It does not have the same solid feeling as the original one

2. the A button is located right above the trigger, which makes it more difficult to hold the gun (maybe I am used to the old way of holding the gun.

Besides the two points above, it is a good gun.

The game is excellent. The graphic is much nicer than the previous Time Crisis (ok, it is PS2 vs PSone). The cool thing is, the system can distinguish where the person is shot, so that the person responds differently. For example, if you shoot someone in the leg, they will fall down with their hands cover their leg, or fall down with one leg. The game is also much more exciting, more actions. From ground, to boat, to train. This game also has more game modes:

1. Arcade - One Player: Just like the traditional Time Crisis

2. Arcade - Two Player: You and your friend partner each other. It is really cool. However, the split screen (side-by-side) is really small on regular TV. It will be nicer if you have a really big TV. However, Time Crisis 2 still does not support LCD or projection TV, which is disappointing. It will be nice to use i-link for this game

3. Arcade - Double Gun: You can use two guns at the same time.

4. Extra Games - 3 different games that are similar to Point Blank (Agent Trainer, Quick & Crash, Shoot Away 2).

Overall, I think Time Crisis 2 is a very good game. It sure worths the $, especially with the new Guncon 2. However, it can be better. The one thing I really want to see in Time Crisis 3 is, support LCD, Projection TV, widescreen TV, and HDTV.

If you like the previous Time Crisis, you won't be disappointed for this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars DONT BUY THIS VERSION!, October 28, 2001

i love amazon and i dont usually harbor any resentment against a company but this is a gun game WITHOUT THE GUN! even if you have a guncon you should get the new one because it's great. i had to send this back because there was not a product description and me being simple minded assumed it would have a gun with it. the gun is only 10 bucks extra at most retailers and yet again it's such a great peripheral that you should spring the extra dough for it. if you somehow have a guncon 2 get this version, otherwise buy the version with the gun and STAY AWAY!
