  1. 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.

    Packed with a ton of unlockable content and a large amount of replayability, Time Crisis 4 is a fun game for any shooting fan looking to blast away with their PS3. The FPS Complete Mission mode places a new spin on the franchise, and the Crisis Missions and mini-games only extends the title's lifespan.
  3. If the design errors can be overlooked, Time Crisis 4 is what you expect: a fast, intense light gun shooter with decent graphics and the ability to make one's arm sore for days after.
  4. 45
    If you can tolerate all of Time Crisis 4's shortcomings, you might enjoy the thirty minutes of gameplay you'll get out of it, but fans of light-gun games, as well as fans of first person shooter titles, are going to take one look at this one and walk away fast.

    Anyone who's forked over a Buck for a Time Crisis game in an arcade an enjoiyed themself, even if just for a second, will have a blast with this on their PS3. High-def graphics, and your very own lightweight GunCon3, as well as tonnes of system exclusives, are just icing on the Time Crisis cake. Expand

    I love this game, shooting terrorists out by International Airport, California is a very satisfying experience. The mini games are a lot of fun to play with other people, and the first person is really cool and different. The Guncon3 also works pretty well, the calibration system works on my 65" tv even though its not supposed to work on tvs abovve 55". Expand

    The FPS and Arcade modes are good but the mini-games are where the fun really is! The Guncom3 is fantastic! I almost didn't buy it because of the "professional review" at Gamespot. I'll never use that site again. The Guncom3 works great. Yea, if you sweep it quickly there is some lag in movement, but it's small and can be compensated for by shooting a little ahead of the moving target. I've never played any Time Crisis games. I put this game in the top 5 of all the PS3 games I have. The mini-games are a riot! Expand

    Very average, arcade mode is fun but will last about an hour. Mission mode is done in first person and is simply a bit poor Mini games again good All in all an Ok lightgun shooter, but it doesn't play better than something like house of the dead 2, and if i'm brutally honest the graphics arent much better than house of the dead 2 (but there is lots more going on).
