Let me just start off saying that this game is one of the most addictive action games out to date! And I'd also say this is the best Light Gun to date next to the awesome Point Blank series. The game uses the excellent light gun "Guncon 2", which adds to the fun and addictveness of the game. You can now, in "Time Crisis 3", select between 4 diffrent weapons which adds even more to an already great game. Do yourself a favor, if you want an action game that uses a light gun instead of a controller, this should be your top pick! Althought the game is fairly short, there are many unlockables to get, and it is just plain fun to play over and over again. Get two Guncon 2's and you're in two player light gun shooting heaven! Just be sure to get two seperate TV's and an i-link so you each can see what you're shooting better. If you are a fan of Light Gun games, this game is above your expectations, but if you're not a light gun gaming fan, this game might just change your mind! A must have in your PS2 collection with the Guncon 2!

Best Game Ever

The kid who can't shoot on the sides of his TV - Get a flatscreen TV. It works better. I have a 24" flatscreen TV in my basement and it works perfectly. I have 1 thing to say about this game - Buy it!!!! It's the best game ever! But don't touch it if you don't have a GUNCON2. Get the package for $60 Great Deal considering the game costs $50 on its own. Awesome with the GUNCON2! Its short though but I still found it very difficult to beat the whole thing on story mode... Then there's multiplayer(I don't really like multiplayer that much because it's kinda weird to have a split-screen while using a GUNCON2. I think it's better to play the one-player mode and just swich off with your friends) and another mode that you are a lady and can use a sniper rifle.
Overall Stuff
Gameplay 5/5 - soooooooooo fun! great for guests
Multiplayer 2/5 - dunno, some poeple like it
Replay value 4/5 - too short, but it's fun to keep playing it over again, you can still play the other modes
Graphics 4/5 - good graphics

Designers of this game: make another time crisis game, and make it longer!!! That would make it perfect

I bought the game used to save me a couple of bucks. Came with the game and an USED gun. Brought it home, both the gun and the game played perfectly. If you plan to play with an friend, have a big tv for a split screen. Unless you have a set of two tvs, ps2's, two games and an i.link to connect the ps'2 together so both played have their own tv but play as a team. If you're like me who has Time Crisis 2, the gun that comes with TC3(if you bought the whole set), the gun that comes with TC3 comes in handy if you wanna play Double Barrel.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again, Namco has produced a very successful installment into the beloved series of Time Crisis. This installment produces MAXIMUM fun, and in my opinion, is the best out of the three. This game includes Arcade mode, Rescue mission, Crisis missions, sniper combat, The weapon select system, and Multiplayer. I will explain all of those later on. Now, onward to the review....

STORY 7/10

This is the best story any of the Time Crisis games could offer. Usually, the story is pretty linear and retarded, but now the story has some twists. for example, on rescue mission mode is based around the character Alicia, who is on a mission to rescue her brother. Along the way, Alicia runs into one of her brothers comrades, which to my actual surprise, pulled a gun onto Alicia.

The actual plot is that two of V.S.S.E's best officers were sent into the once-peaceful town of Astigos to stop the Zagorian forces from launcing tactical missiles towards Lukano. Along the way, they meet up with Alicia, the sister of a leader of the lukano troops, who joined up with them to rescue her brother. Enough of this though...

SOUND AND MUSIC 9/10

This is the best music i have ever heard on any of the Time Crisis games. It is VERY catchy, and will force you to pause the game and listen to it. There is a problem with the music however. During the cutscenes, the music is so irritating that i want to bash the skull of whoever made that music, as it is very lame, not catchy, and makes me want to vomit.

As usual, the Sound is top-notch on this game, as the gunshots sound like gunshots, and the enemies grunt and scream when you shoot them. Helicopters sound real, you can hear the engine in the jeeps, and so on.

GAMEPLAY 10/10

The most fun light-gun shooting game available. this game portrays many challenges, such as helicopters, enemies shooting from jeeps, or the flamethrower enemies (ohhh those guys piss me off). A VERY fun and challenging item that they added onto this game are shields for the enemies. what I am talking about is that it doesnt take one shot to kill one enemy, but certain enemies have to be shot about 5 times to kill, making the game longer and more enjoyable.

Another add-on that Namco produced was the weapon-select system. this system allows you to choose from four different weapons: The Handgun (unlimited), Machine Gun, Shotgun, and Grenade launcher(last three are limited). In order to receive more ammunition for the limited guns, you have to search and destroy certain yellow-armored soldiers. This new select system is very fun, and if for some reason you get angry at this one section, you can just shoot a grenade at all of the enemies, making you happier, and clearing that area.

The one thing that I think that Namco should have left on from Time Crisis 2 is the double-gun mode....That mode was superfun. Namco created more Crisis missions, even harder and even more than before. Also, after you beat Arcade mode, you unlock a mode called the rescue mission mode, where you play as Alicia on her way to rescuing her brother. along the way, you can play a new feature: Sniper combat, which is pretty fun.

GRAPHICS 10/10

top-notch. that all I have to say

REPLAY VALUE 10/10

I, myself, play this game many times over again, as it is a very nice challenge with lots of fun in it.

I recommend you buy this game with a guncon 2 (about 60 dollars. I know it is expensive, but you'll get over it)

Best gun game ever with guncon2!

The gameplay is ossum. Many unique opponents come out including bonus givers, machine gunners and other cool infantry. The best thing of the game is the new "Weapon Select" system. The other former games only had handgun, but now there are machine guns, shotguns, grenade launchers and many other unique weapons.The new Alicia scenario solves the mysteries that were not solved in the arcade mode. There are two new things about Alicia scenario. First, is the sniper rifle. You can only use this gun in special missions. Second, the weapon level. Every time you shoot an enemy, the gauge goes up and when the gauge is full, you level up. If you level up, your weapon's maximum capacity, range and power goes up. For example maching gun1 only shoots 4 bulets at a time and has Max 100 bullets. Machine gun2 shoots 7 at a time and has around 130 and Machine gun 3 shoots unlimited until you run out of the clip Max is about 150-170. Shotgun has increased power and range. For example, Shot Gun1 shoots 3 areas and has 20 bullets at its max. Shot gun 2 shoots 4 areas and has 24 bullets and so on. The maximum level you can get to for all weapons is level 5. The handgun and sniper rifle doesn't have the level system. You also get another full clip of ammo if you level up. The graphics are pretty dissapointing. It is barely better than Time Crisis 2. You should have a Guncon2 since it is hard to enjoy this game with a Dualshock controller.

Final rating:
Gameplay 5/5
This is what saved the game. The gameplay is ossum and the weapon select system makes you forget about the graphics for a while. You are simply "absorbed" into the game.

Graphics 2/5
This killed the game. The graphics are no better than fifa 2000(1999). Now you get how bad the graphics are. But the weapon select and the fun lets you "forget" about the bad graphics.

Sound 4/5
The sound effects are cool although when your bullet hits the metal, the sound can be pretty annoying. Well, there's almost never much to write about sound.

Movies 4/5
This is about the only part that has good graphics. This part is quite fun to watch and makes you understand the game better. I say you should watch the all movies throughout the game, since it has good graphics.

Time Crisis 3- Perfect For Any GUNCON fan!

Okay, let me just start off by saying that this game ROCKS! If you are a fan of any Time Crisis game (And many people are), then I would get this game sooner than later.

Gameplay: 5/5-
The gameplay is fast, fun, and even better than the arcade version in that you can play a console-exclusave Rescue Mission mode (In which you carry out special missions in the Time Crisis storyline using new character Alice and a sniper rifle) and Crisis Mission mode (Which is kind of like Rescue Mission mode in that it's console exclusive and it offers new missions). WARNING: THIS GAME CAN'T REALLY BE ENJOYED WITHOUT A GUNCON. IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE ONE, THE PACKAGE OF TIME CRISIS 3 W/ GUNCON2 WORKS WELL

Graphics: 4/5-
The graphics in this game are top-notch. The only reason why it doesn't get a 5/5 in my eyes is that sometimes people fall through walls when shot. That's it. Other than that flaw, the physics are nice as people react properly when shot. If shot in the leg, the fall foward, and fall back if shot in the head. You get the idea.

Multiplayer: 2/5-
This is what killed the game. Unless you happen to have two PS2s and two TVs in the same room, don't expect to get much out of multiplayer. In splitscreen, it's hard to hit the enemies with a GUNCON and instead of dividing the screen in half, it creates two small boxes to play in that leaves half the screen space unused. Linked games are much more fun because you both get your own screen to look at and shoot.

Replay Value: 3/5-
You'll play this game untill you beat arcade mode, get high scores on all of the stages, and get medals on all of the missions. Then you might play arcade mode a little more. All this will only take up about two weekends if you're good, maybe three or four if you're avrage. Or, if you're a big fan (Like me) you'll play this game endlessly.

Well, that's it. In addition to this, I recommend Time Crisis 2. If you don't own a GUNCON2 (You need #2 to play this game), then I suggest getting one from the Time Crisis 3 + GUNCON2 package. Well there you have it. My review of Time Crisis 3.
