This game does NOT come with the gun.

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.

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!

this games is the most FUN of any of the games I've played on PS2. My wife and I just load it up and start shooting everything.
Amazon drops the ball on this one, they are selling the version without the gun, and don't seem to be offering it anywhere on the site. You can't play the game without the light gun. The company does sell this game with a gun included (...) more - look for it.
I didn't give it 5 stars because it's WAY to short. You'll go through all the levels the first night you have it. But it's fun, you'll go through the levels again and again.

I had never heard of this until a few weeks ago, but I do like it very much even though it has minor flaws. Flaws: 1. Don't buy the game without the guncon2. It plays much better than the controller and you will miss out on the fun of the game. 2. It's somewhat short. In the next version they need to add more chapters, but some of the challenge areas and sub games almost make up for it. You can do the game on Easy, Hard and Very Hard to sharpen your skills. 3. On Two player mode you have to concentrate too hard on your side of the screen, playing it ilinked is much better. Good parts: 1. The Guncon 2. Very accurate,light, & a good feel it just needs some recoil action especially when you get the machine gun. 2. Double Guncon2 - You have to get the useage down but once you do you feel like MAX PAYNE! It is hard to find the game and Guncon package in regular retail stores. Namco does not sell the Guncon2 by itself but you can find online @ redoctane (as of this date) and a few places sell the Japanese version that will work with US PS2's. I am not a hardcore gammer, I like to have different types of things to play that give me more of an interactive feel. With this the other game to get is Vampire Night which is the only other game in the PS2 format (as of this date that I know) that uses the light gun....

From the mightiest pharaoh to the lowliest peasant,who doesn't enjoy a good light gun game?Top three reasons why this one is better than most:Time Crisis 2 rewards you for playing.Earn continues,credits,new games and more.Many arcade to home light gun titiles don't give you squat.Mini games that look like they've come from the way cool point blank series.Of course the two player cooperative play.Forget about doing this game with the CPU.Grab a friend and play this disc the way it's meant to be played.Seeing your partner on the screen working with you adds mucho fun to this style of game.

This game is the shooting game of all shooting games. The arcade mode contains the same version as in the arcades, but with repeated play, there are numerous "secret" options to obtain. Different guns, and "views." Along with the arcade mode, there are many ways to play it: 1player, 2player(split screen), double gun(1player or 2players)sharing one screen and character, or i-link. Aside from the arcade mode, there are many about 50 different miny-games as well. There's Agent Trainer with different targets and movements, Quick and Crash, a basic aiming game, Shoot Away 2, a quick pased try at Clay Pidgeon shooting, retro style and special style, and Crisis Mission. In this mode, you play your way through numerous "days" each containing about 5-7 missions in each. These missions are sometimes very difficult, and quite challengeing, something you should look for in a shooter game. If its too easy, then there's no challenge, and the game can be conquered in less that a day. Through all these options and different ways of game-play, I can't see how you could possibly pass this game up; it even comes with it's own gun! There's no need to buy one to play, you could possibly buy the first gun to play two players but it isnt even necessary. I was somewhat dissapointed in the first game, and this is the game i hoped for: IT DELIVERS!

This has to be one of the most fun and enticing video games I have ever experienced playing. I have not yet bought this product, for I do not have the Playstation 2 console, but I will once I purchase the PS2. When I first started playing it, I was so excited and thrilled, that I couldn't get off!

There is, however, a few minor flaws with this product:
-The game is short, only giving you approximately six levels.
-bullets look like tennis balls flying through the air.
-Difficult to hear the enemy shooting at you.

The problem that I dislike greatly is that on Amazon.com, the game does not come equipped with a Namco GunCon 2.

All in all, the game is excellent, and exciting!Have fun!

I didn't know there was a gun controller for the PS2 until I started searching around and found the GunCon2 packaged with this game. I couldn't imagine playing this without the gun controller, so you really should find the bundled package. Unfortunately, the unique controller is the only thing interesting about the game. It is fun, but by the time I was just getting into the game, it was over! There are only three levels, and some uninteresting standalone extra games. Hopefully the sequel will contain more gameplay.
The GunCon2 design leaves a bit to be desired. I hold the gun with two hands and found my left hand constantly bumping the pause button during gameplay. Also the A and B buttons are up out of the way, not convenient for a standard shooting hold. The actual control of the gun works great though, and I hope to find more games that utilize the controller.

Game must have a gun and Namco sells a package with the gun included. get that one
