 Excellence gets an upgrade! January 13, 2006

As you might have guessed, this is another cool game I have played in the arcade. AND IT ROCKS! Time Crisis 2 was wonderful but this is just outstanding. I mean, it has cooler graphics, more usable weapons(including grenades! YOWSERS!)better sound effects and above all such terrific explosions, shot hits, music and gameplay that it makes this the best Time Crisis Game I've ever played in my whole, entire (BEEP)ing life! When I played this in the arcade, I had tons and tons of fun. Why you think I put five stars for the fun rating? To make this game even more enjoyable, I used the fact I am a lover of animals and good people, most especially lions, tigers, jaguars and sexy women of all sorts. I imagined that those kinds of innocents mentioned were being threatened, that the enemy in the game was the poacher slime threatening them(as you know, I not only love big cats, all cool animals and decent human beings, I also HATE, HATE, HATE poachers!)and that I was the hero along with a sidekick who meant to save the women and the three large cat races. Needless to say, every time I killed an enemy, with bullet or grenade, I let loose the words: "Go to hell, poacher scumbags!" which of course made the game all the more enjoyable, as did saving lives which I imagined as either a big cat species or a beautiful woman. Anyway whether you imagine this or not, this game is the best, coolest & most fun Time Crisis ever made and if you like shooting games or video games in general for that matter, you must either play this in the arcade(like me)or if you got a PS2, buy it and enjoy! I'd say it rivals the masterpiece that is Silent Scope, it's so perfect!

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 Dont Have This Game But... August 18, 2005

I've played it countless times at the arcade and I think it is one of the best games for ps2 (cause actually I'm more of a PC gamer) amd it is the best of it's kind. If youre looking for a guncon game, this is for you!
gameplay: as i've said, BEST OF ITS KIND. TC3 is one of the few guncon games that will keep you glued to the tv (and in my case, arcade screen) for hours and hours and wont get repetitive. and the multi-weapon system will give you more strategy and less (in a good way,) mindless crazy shooting. For example, if you were outnumbered in a closed space with a lot foes on the screen, in any other guncon game youd have to shoot them all down one by one, ducking like a madman and losing time but now, youd just select the nade launcher, aim, and clear the area of enemies. but, the grenade launcher has a limited amount of ammo, so would you spray with the uzi with a fast rate of fire or use the shotgun that spreads its bullets? your choice. but the strategy doesnt bore the game, you still ave plenty of time to shoot people silly
graphics: the graphics arent like Half Life 2 or Doom 3 but its still isnt horrible, and anyway, you wont mind the graphics when youre really playing the game.
Sound: the dialog is crappy like any other guncon game, but everything else is above par and again, you wont care about the sound when youre really playing the game
story: Not the best, its predictable, corny and it isnt complex at all, but if you're looking for a great storyline in a guncon game... you need serious help.
Overall: the only flaws I could find were that the game was overpriced, (60$) and that the guncon is pretty fragile (From what I've heard). Other than that, its a must buy for anyone who likes shooting, crazy action, or wants to let their anger out on some terrorists.
Good for more than just entertainment. April 4, 2005

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!
Two words... LIGHT GUN!!! February 10, 2005

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.
