Customer Reviews of Time Crisis 4 (Includes Guncon 3)

Decent game; not so decent controller...
I must admit, I'm new to the Time Crisis series of games, but have been a casual fan of light gun games over the years, including Duck Hunt, Area 51, and various others that you find in movie theatre arcades these days. I bought this game during one of Amazon's DotD (deal of the day) promos, so I got it for $39. I'd say it was worth it for that amount, but I would not pay much more for this set. <

>The game is fun, it's another light gun shooting game. The arcade mode is pretty much a typical light gun game, pretty fun, with variable difficulty and two characters to choose from, so there's plenty of gameplay there. There's also a "Complete Mission" mode that uses the additional controls on the Guncon 3 to make an FPS/light gun hybrid game. It's decent, although the character movement is a bit sluggish, but it is otherwise okay. Don't expect a deep story, it's the same tried and true good guys vs. terrorists that you get in a game like this, but hey, that's what this genre is about, mmkay? The target practice minigames are fun, and one of the only ways you can play multiplayer with only one Guncon. <

>The game is only half of this package, and I daresay the better part. The other part is the Guncon 3 controller, a lightgun in a series of three that Namco has made over the years for the various Playstation Consoles. This newest addition to the lightgun lineup is different, as it uses a system similar to the Nintendo Wii sensor bar to triangulate the position of the gun onscreen. They have to use this method because many modern TV's don't work with the older light guns because of the way that those older guns work by using light from the screen to detect the position of the pointer. The Wii sensor bar seems reasonably accurate to detect the pointing of the Wii remote. The Guncon Sensors are not. It's jittery, inaccurate, and requires constant calibration to get working. It will work, but get familiar with the calibration screen, you'll be using it a LOT. <

>This is a decent package, with a decent game, not great, but decent, and a sub-par controller. As I said before, if you can get this package for less than $50, it might be worth your while, but don't pay much more for it.

Time Crisis 4
This game is awesome. An innovative way to play a first person shooter with a gun controller. With the guncon 3 it allows you to play this first person shooter with more action adn detail than any other game. I just hope that they bring out more games that are compatible with the gun. The plot is thicker and seems to jut add to the game play. Also the stunning detail and resolution of this game make it the best gun game out thus far. The price was completely worth every penny.

Great Game!
Its a great game... a lot of fun! My only major complaint is the Guncon3 setup... to run the wires each and everytime is a bit annoying...
