    If you are a light-gunslinger, if you're in it for the fun of realistic point-and-shoot, perhaps inviting a few friends over for taking turns at high-score challenges — the game also supports a second Guncon 3 controller, not included in the bundle, for two-player arcade-mode games — you'll almost certainly enjoy Time Crisis 4. And you'll save wads of dollar bills you'd otherwise feed into arcade token exchangers.

    Although there are some rather negative elements of Time Crisis 4, it's still the only game on the PS3 that currently uses any form of light gun technology, and that alone makes it worth while.

    The greatest illusion accomplished by Time Crisis 4, aside from making the player feel masculine while controlling two of the most flamboyant leads in shooter history, is the transformation of your PlayStation 3 into a full-blown arcade machine.

    We can only really recommend this to long-term fans who will be contented solely with the Arcade mode.

    Time Crisis has always looked out of place on consoles and this just doesn't work. [Feb 2008, p.76]

    If you were hoping for the return of Time Crisis to herald some kind of rebirth for on-rails shooters, then you'll be sorely disappointed. The arcade mode is dumb fun for a short while, but is little more than a tired throwback, while the addition of FPS missions will be barely tolerable to even the most forgiving shooter.

    It’s just a bland shooter with a flimsy toy gun and a big spoonful of “we-know-better” arrogance.

Its exactly like the arcade plus so much more. You get the arcade version, a FPS missions, 20+ party shooting games, and the guncon which has 6 buttions and 2 analog sticks-it can be used for future games if developers support it. The reason its splitscreen for 2 players is b/c both players need to independantly duck and cover and shoot. If you liked this game is the arcade, then its a must have on the PS3. Don't buy it if you want a great story or you've never played the game in the arcades like these idiot critics that have trashed it.… Expand

The arcade mode is just like the arcade version where you duck This game is fun depending on what you're expecting out a light gun game. The arcade mode is just like the arcade version where you duck and shoot and you automatically move from one scene to another. The mission mode is like a FPS and is almost a whole nother game in itself which i enjoyed. The mini games is also quite entertaining. The game is fairly easy and there is no way to change the difficulty, therefore, should be really fun for first timers but not as challenging to the experienced. Overall i enjoyed the game, the light gun decent and buttons are well layed out. It is pricey for the bundle but hopefully other light gun based games come out to help ease the cost of having to buy the gun.… Expand

TC4 is the same thing seen in past iterations of the series and with the same class. It's fairly replayable and has loads of minigame extras to play but the main extra, a first person shooter style gun game, comes out as a poor and cheaply done imitation that is quickly ignored. It would have been far better to add a new rail shooter scenario to blast through as has been done in past titles but because of this and the dubious 'bug' enemies it contains, TC4 comes off as a good gun game but not a great one.… Expand
