Time Crisis 4 for PS3 Game Review      

December 23rd, 2007

Time Crisis 4 which includes Guncon 3 is another offering form Namco Bandai. You can buy it at a price of $59.99. If you have played Japanese arcade games in the 1990′s this game is going to bring back memories.

The Time Crisis series is probably the last remainder of the arcade light-gun games. The setting is pretty straightforward. It is a first person shooter that is handicapped by motion controls that do not work so well.

With this game you will get a GunCon3 light gun controller and infrared sensors to be placed somewhere near the top of your television. There is a trigger and four more buttons on the GunCon along with an analog stick. The controller is comfortable to hold.

In this game you can play one of two modes – complete mission mode or arcade mode. The storyline is thus. You get to be a part of a triad that is after a terrorist group that now has a biological weapon in their control.

This game is an attempt of a light-gun game at being a first person shooter. Unfortunately the attempt fails miserably. I have enjoyed the Japanese arcade games more than this one. I have also enjoyed many other FPS’s more. This game is not highly recommended. Rent it if you want to get a feel of the Japanese arcade games of the nineties though.
