i just recieved time crisis and my accuracy is fine. if you run through the 5 point calibration correctly it should be pin point accurate. in fact i was able to snipe people really far away with a pistol. also to comment on the problem of it being to complicated. for me it felt good. of course it took a few minutes to get adjusted to it but i like the controls. as for the price issue. this is only 20 more dollars than a regular ps3 game. so you are basically paying 20 dollars for the gun.they are planning to release more games for the gun so this is a good deal. i recomend this game to anyone. i give huge credit to the creators of this gun as it operates very well for shooting and moving at the same time. and the controls are simple after a little practice. i have ordered the wii zapper and can only pray it functions as well as the guncon.

Old school fun which has become hard to find

I have a complex job, that is very challenging. What I want in a video game is the simplicity that my life otherwise lacks, and this game provides it.

I don't want extremely deep learning curves and "open exploration", that is what real life is for! (I mean, heck, there're a real city right outside my door that features a huge map for me to explore at leisure, and litterally millions of NPC characters that are real people with whom I can have actual conversations.) For me a game should be tight and full of tense adrenaline, structured, fast, simple, fun.

Works very well with my 92 inch front projector - I just had to tilt the sensors down a little.

I even very, very much like the fps sections reviewers have been complaining about - it feels like you're really there, shooting at dangerous people, much more than other fps titles which do not include "real" gunplay.

The Guncon 3 is very comfortable, and very easy to get used to.

Extremely addictive, extremely fun, and, with the fps sections, very, very long, although individual sessions can be a few minutes each (between save points) which also suits me well as I do not have a lot of free time in large chunks.

I put it on very hard difficulty, and I figure it will take me 6 months to get through it.

One of my favorite games ever, along with Motorstorm and Ridge Racer, which also provide simple, arcade fun.

I sure wish they would re-release the old Time Crisis games on the Playstation Store to be compatible with the Guncon 3 - I would buy them all right now.

Cool game and gun for the price here

I purchased Time Crisis 4 (TC4) because I need a game that doesn't require thinking and time. Just like those games at the arcade, just put in your quarters and play. I love TC series at the arcade because I like the idea of covering yourself during reload and the time limit restriction. TC lets you apply your playing style a little. You can stay under cover whole day, but eventually you will die when time runs out, or you can rush yourself in a hurry and take risk of getting shot. I like the gameplay idea since the very begining of the series. The graphics is not all that and it won't give you the "Wow" factor when you see the game on your LCD screen. However, it fits my need of a game that I can just put it in and shoot, shoot, shoot. It may sound easy, but if your reflexes are not good, you should just stay away from this game. Like I said this game doesn't require thinking, but it sure requires your body's reaction. So, if you are slow with eye and finger's coordination, you will have trouble here for sure. The guncon3 looks weird, but it does its job. As long as you calibrate your gun correctly, it is very accurate. This game is also fun during party or friends gathering. 50 bucks with free shipping for this game is a must-buy game for me. The guncon3 alone is already 40 bucks, so why not just get a fun PS3 party game for the additional 10 bucks. There are going to be more games coming out that use the guncon3 in the future. This is a good investment for game accessories.

Incredible - True to Arcade with lots of extras!!!!!!!

If you're a fan of the arcade game; prepare to be electrified. This is a great port! The inclusion of a FPS story mode and the mini games give you more bang for the buck!

I Love it; play it every day.

Far better than the reviews lead you to believe

Despite horrid reviews and people bashing this game for bad accuracy and a cheap gun, it's really not as bad as they say. In fact, it's not bad at all, it's great.

Starting with the gun itself. It very accurate. You can do a standard or 5 point calibration which works very well. You can make the gun as accurate ( or inaccurate as you like). One thing i've found though that may lead people to think it has poor calibration is the tv, not the game. Look at the screen used in the arcade. It's small and square. When you take into account a 40 plus inch widescreen tv, you've got more screen space to shoot at which means you must move the gun to a greater degree that in the arcade. If you unintentionally just move your wrists to aim the gun like i do sometimes, the accurracy is horrible ( so it seems) But it you were to look down the sights of the gun while you had your wrist flex over, you'll realize that it's shooting exactly where your pointing. SO you have to shoot the way you calibrated it. If you hold it like a cop does and shoot the five targets looking straight down the sights, you need to play the game like that. If you lax your grip and lower your gun, then yes, it's not going to be accurate because that's not the way it's calibrated. I believe this is where the whole "horrible accuracy gun" claims derive from.

As for gun quality. It's great. It's definatly not like the arcade, but then again if it was, you would be paying a whole lot more that $75 for it. The bright orange color is the main reason it seems cheap. The plastic casing on it is quite well, the seems are quite smooth and the texture of the plastic is unison. It doesn't have the platic swirls that cheap plastic toys do. The buttons are fine and very functional. the only thing I don't really like is the joysticks. The knobs that pop out are small and they aren't rubberized so my thumbs slip A LOT. But overall, the guns fine.

The game itself is fun too. For all those that complain about bad storylines...well, you don't play a light gun game for the story. It's basically a straight port from the arcade. So if you like the arcade version, you'll really love this because you don't need to constantly feed it quarters.

The FPS mode is unique. It's nothing to write home about. But it's definetly fun to try out. But it gets tiring quickly though because unlike something like Resistance, you have to constantly hold both arms up to shoot.

Overall, if you like TC. This is a no brainer. If your interested in this, you'll definetly find something to like. But if you have no interest in light gun games or TC.....then why are you reading this? =P

Arcade at its best

This game is the most accurate arcade game you can find. It is very fun and easy to use. Great replay value. Compare to ghost squad or Resident Evil it is far more fun. Wiimote is nothing more than mouse, you have to track it on screen to get head shots. Once you calibrate the gun it is pin point accurate. Nothing comes close.

I didnt pay the full price, got it on a amazon one day only sale. It is a all around great family fun game.

Brings me back

I used to play Time Crisis at the arcade store when I was younger. Couldn't get enough of the game at the time, now I can play in the comfort of my livingroom on high def against my son. Graphics are pretty good, lots of stuff to shoot up and a decent amount of levels to play. All in all I like it, mindless entertainment that makes me feel like a kid again.

This game is a blast. Classic arcade gameplay and a fun fps mode. Guncon was easy to calibrate and works great on a 56 inch jvc rear projection tv.

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.
