Video Game Reviews of Time Crisis 4 (Includes Guncon 3)
Customer Review: Good.
Summary: 4 Stars
its a fun game, but a little confusing at first but then you get the hang of it. graphics i feel could of been a lot better. i consider it a hassle to aim the gun every time you play or having to set up the infrared sensors. The gun is not cordless whitch was not appealing, together with the gun color(bright orange). other than that is a fun game to play. Customer Review: Can't Save in Arcade Mode
Summary: 3 Stars
This game had great potential to becoming one of the funnest game for the PS3 system. The graphics are okay and the Guncon is accurate if you know how to calibrate it right. Now, let's talk about the gameplay, and here is where the developers screwed up (hope there is a patch that can fix this nuance someday). Let me explain, first TC has always be a gun on rails arcade game and they should've left it like that. The FPS mode is cumbersome, the controls feel clunky. Not a lot of fun for me.
Arcade, here is where they really messed up the game. Come on, who had the brilliant idea to limit the number of saves to 3?? Imagine you only get 3 saves to beat the game in Arcade mode. Since when TC only allowed people to put 3 quarters before they had to start the game all over from the beginning. And this is what the game does, you only get 3 saves and believe me when you have to re-start the game for a third time it gets old very quickly. I'm a casual gamer and I don't have the time to master this game to the level that I would make it through the end with only 3 saves. I just hope there will be new games that will make use of the Guncon in the future.
Customer Review: old game better graphics

this game was ok but nothing inovative about it and got bored of playing it after a couple of times. i bought it for 49 dollars on a GB special and got about my money's worth back as a tradin at a local buy sell and trade store. overall atleast i didn't waste my money on it.Customer Review: It would be Good if it was a $60 game But $80 is too much
Summary: 2 Stars
This game is a port of an arcade game. One of the features is the included light gun that requires a ugly tangled mess of wires and a sensor array that you have to hang on top of your television. It takes about 5 minutes of setup to play this game if you don't like ugly crap hanging off your HDTV. The light gun and the sensor bar each also take up a usb port on your ps3. Now once you get this mess of a device set up you can begin playing the game.
The Guncon has an number of analog sticks and buttons on it for switching to the different weapons, and a button for reloading and hiding. I found holding the second handle to be uncomfortable for long periods, and you left handed shooters are out of luck. This is a bad un-ambidextrous design for the gun. The game itself is pretty fun, but just simply mucks up the fun with having one button to switch between the different guns you may carry. I really like Time Crisis 1 and 2 much better due to the simplicity of weapons and not having to deal with an uncomfortable posture holding this gun.
There is also a side game that uses the analog sticks to move around like halo, but I found the level design really un inspired. The control scheme sounds great on paper, but do to having to aim with the unergonomic design of the light gun, playing in this mode got tiring after a while and actually hurt my wrist, back and shoulder.
On the bright side, the game itself is pretty good for a light gun game and contains your usual point and kill style of game that you are expecting. Overall the game is a pretty big dissapointment due the the implementation of hard and is way overpriced. If the gun was one handed and didn't feel like I was operating a belt sander I would have scored it better.
Customer Review: Superficial and short-lived.
Summary: 2 Stars
If you think that playing this game will fulfill any of your overly nostalgic memories of playing Time Crisis at the local Golfland, then you'd be sadly mistaken. The gun does not seem very accurate, and has somewhat of a lag time between where you aim it on the screen and where the reticle appears. Plus the arcade-shooting portion of the game is very, very short. The added FPS mode is insipid, and feels like it was just tacked on to make this a complete game. All-in-all, just a two-star product. I would only purchase this if Amazon (which is rockingly awesome) had it for about $30 again.
