  1. All things considered, Time Crisis II is a whole lot more fun than a console port of a three-year-old arcade game should be. Fans of the arcade version will not be disappointed.
  2. A good -- if not stunning -- looking title. Character models are sufficiently detailed, while the world is populated with crisp textures throughout. Time Crisis 2 ranks as one of the better light gun games released to the home market.

    The only way to avoid relegating this to the ‘I’ve got nothing better to do for the next twenty minutes’ league is to persuade your friends to buy a light gun and bring over their console and a spare TV and act like John Woo for an evening – great fun!

    The second part of the Timé Crisis series went worse than the third part, but better than the fourth and fifth part of the series. This partThe second part of the Timé Crisis series went worse than the third part, but better than the fourth and fifth part of the series. This part was mainly made for arcade machines, rather than for the home console PlayStation 2. This is noticeable in the plot of the game, because in the third part of the game it was more open.
