I am a little bummed the game came with just a Guncon pistol, as the arcade unit had a nice little MP5 approximation.
-
Still lacks a bit of replay value unless you simply want to go on a shooting spree once in a while, but that's always fun too.
-
There's no denying that when everything in sight starts flying, Crisis Zone is a damn good time. Not especially complex nor terribly lengthy, it's still just the right amount of arcade fun with console unlockable goodies, and if ever there's been a compelling reason to own a light gun game, this is about as good as any you'll hear.
-
Sure, it's still basically a more sophisticated version of "Duck Hunt," but nothing helps us unwind quite like putting bullets through the heads of parachuting ninjas.
-
And, of course, you can't go past the amazingly destructible environments - they'll blow you away.
-
While fun, Crisis Zone is definitely the weakest game in the series. Its fast, over-the-top presentation comes at the loss of the series’ precision gameplay.
-
However you look at it, light gun games are still active, and if you want it to stay that way, make sure to grab this strong sequel to the already popular series.
-
It switches out the series's usual pistols for fully automatic firepower, but its biggest mistake is in replacing previous games' lunatic action setpieces with simple destruction for destruction's sake.
