Good game, but can be better

First of all, a lot of people are wondering, if the original Guncon will work on Time Crisis 2. The answer is YES. You can use the original Guncon for Time Crisis 2. You don't really need the Guncon 2.

However, Guncon 2 offers more buttons, such as the following buttons:
- Start
- Select
- Thumbcon (direction pad)
- C button

I am not sure what these extra buttons for except the Start and Select. I haven't played the game long enough to tell.

The new Guncon 2 is more accurate than the original Guncon. However, I prefer the original Guncon more because:

1. Guncon 2 is made with cheap orange plastic. It does not have the same solid feeling as the original one

2. the A button is located right above the trigger, which makes it more difficult to hold the gun (maybe I am used to the old way of holding the gun.

Besides the two points above, it is a good gun.

The game is excellent. The graphic is much nicer than the previous Time Crisis (ok, it is PS2 vs PSone). The cool thing is, the system can distinguish where the person is shot, so that the person responds differently. For example, if you shoot someone in the leg, they will fall down with their hands cover their leg, or fall down with one leg. The game is also much more exciting, more actions. From ground, to boat, to train. This game also has more game modes:

1. Arcade - One Player: Just like the traditional Time Crisis

2. Arcade - Two Player: You and your friend partner each other. It is really cool. However, the split screen (side-by-side) is really small on regular TV. It will be nicer if you have a really big TV. However, Time Crisis 2 still does not support LCD or projection TV, which is disappointing. It will be nice to use i-link for this game

3. Arcade - Double Gun: You can use two guns at the same time.

4. Extra Games - 3 different games that are similar to Point Blank (Agent Trainer, Quick & Crash, Shoot Away 2).

Overall, I think Time Crisis 2 is a very good game. It sure worths the [the price], especially with the new Guncon 2. However, it can be better. The one thing I really want to see in Time Crisis 3 is, support LCD, Projection TV, widescreen TV, and HDTV.

If you like the previous Time Crisis, you won't be disappointed for this one.

Buy this to save money from the arcades

If you've got a PS2, Gun con and a big new TV and you like shooting games then you can't say no to this, Time Crises 2 is still enjoyable on any size TV. I must of spent like £100 in the arcades on this so if your new to the series get it on PS2 because the graphics are improved and there is a challenge mode that is harder than Arcade mode such as having to take out a guy in a moving train with 1 bullet and you get to meet Richard Miller from the original Time crises.

Two player CO UP is very good, imagine being on speed boats and you get to see your friend opposite you in another speed boat shooting the enimies, CO UP is best exsperienced on system lynk not split screen.

Great Game, But Short

I got this game because i was able to get the game and the gun for under 20 bucks (without shipping) i gotta say this is great love shoting at the screen and its very fast pased. My only problem is that the game is really short, i mean short, still worth the money. since you have to play it straight through, you can beat it in an hour and half. But that shouln't stop you from buying because i believe it is a good game to play over and over. and it takes a bit to get good, so you probably won't beet is one day.

This game is a blast. The graphics, variety of game modes and the replay value is unusually high (there is a lot to unlock). The only thing that needs work is the length of the game b/c even w/the classic namco "beat the game several times to unlock everything" it's still kinda short and playing with 2 players is more frustrating than fun. Unless you have a 50 inch TV or hook up 2 PS2's you won't be able to see the action as the game goes into an enhanced widescreen mode for 2 players.

BEST GAME EVER

When I plyed this game in the arcade I thought I had to get this for Christmas. The action and the adventure in the game just made the first time crisis a goldfish. I thought this game was the BEST!!...

Fun - for a little while

Graphics and gameplay are good, but it just gets boring after a while. It takes less than an hour to beat the story mode. If you like a lot of variety and plot in your games, look elsewhere.

Two-player mode is bad

One-player mode is great, and the extra game options are fun as well. However attempting to play the two-player mode was difficult and distracting. The screen size shrunk so small to allow for split screen, that we couldn't see clearly enough to play - and we were playing on a 36 inch screen!
All in all, for a one-player shooting game, it is challenging and the graphics are good.

Great game, must buy with GunCon2

Absolutely great game. If life's stressing you out, and you just want to vent, just plug in the gun and this game and start shooting the bad guys. Although story mode is relatively short and easy, the Crisis mission mode more than make up for it. In fact, Crisis Mission mode should have been the Main game instead of the Story Mode. It's much more challanging, variety of skills, and longer. Much longer (32 missions at least). Great party game too if u have friends over. You unlock the Crisis mission mode by completing the Story Mode. Once you've unlock Crisis mode, it's like a brand new game.

Basically, if you don't have the Guncom to go with this game, the game just plain blows. If you do, it's fun for a bit, but after beating the same 3 levels over and over again, it gets verrrrry boring.
