Aah! These games are absolutely magnificent. Though I haven't played Time Crisis 3, my friends and I have beaten Time Crises 2 and Crisis Zone in the the arcade. I'm not a gun game nut like you, but those two are definitely my favorite gun games.

I remember the main reason I started playing Time Crisis was because I was really liked the gun the arcade machine came. But the actual games themselves were very impressive. I absolutely loved the destructible environments of Crisis Zone.

Infact, I'm going to go to the school arcade and play Crisis Zone after lunch.

Also, nice review.

I just wanted to add that I omitted Time Crisis: Project Titan (the 'unofficial' PlayStation exclusive sequel) because I've never played it. I assume that it was created by the same (home market) team that developed the PS exclusive Hotel mission (from PS Time Crisis 1). This turns my stomach. I didn't expect anything other than disappointment and as such I still haven't got round to purchasing Project Titan.

Thanks for the comments. Also; good use of the word 'crises' (I purposely avoided it).
Your school has an arcade?! Kick Derrick Lynch's ass for me...!

I've never played the games myself, although like snk, I'm a fan of these kind of games.

I am not really a fan of these kind of games, but I guess I'll give them a shot.

Your school has an arcade?!

Yeah. We have 2 MvC2 machines (and they are ALWAYS busy), Tekken 4 (never used), Silent Scope, House of the Dead 2 (with blood OFF so I never play it), Crisis Zone, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Crazy Taxi, some jet ski game, a car racing game, and I think Raiden II.

Awesome reviews. Although i play the house of the dead series more, the Time Crisis series are truly awesome games.

I'm not much of a reviewer but can you do the house of the dead series?

[darkmage479]

ahh yes, time crisis. Excellent review snk especially the history (sega vs. namco,etc). I enjoyed Time Crisis 2 but never played virtua cop 2 so im gonna have to find an arcade with it.

Yes, most institutions of higher learning have student unions with arcades or at least a billiard table. But wait - your arcade has Raiden Fighters II? That game kicks incredible a !! Last winter i was in a big hotel in San Antonio, Texas and they had a tiny, always empty closet arcade with MvC2, Soul Calibur, a MVS 2-cart (SamShoIII and Metal Slug I) and, in the corner, Raiden Fighters II. My friends and i came within an inch of pulling the plug and attempting to sneak a 350lb cabinet to my friend's truck without being spotted...

Good times. And, to recap, great review of a unique and often misunderstood genre, snk.

No school in this hick of a country have arcade machines. -_-.
