First i want to say, the gun they give you for this game when you buy it is a piece of junk. I don't want to be too harsh, but honestly, the thing blows. I bought another ' controller ' for this game to play 2 player. ( I got a laser gun.. it kinda hurts when it shines in your eyes.. ) This game is worth a buy for someone a fan of shooting, obviously. I enjoy the shooting mini-games they threw in this game.. even though there were only 2 or 3 of them. There is one that is a retro kinda game where you shoot little plates. That game can then be upgraded though to a newer 3D game where you shoot plates. Another one is just shooting a target. I am really good at it, if i do say so myself. But the thing about this game though, it's like playing an arcade game at home. And it really is some good fun. ( with two people. )

Time Crisis II RULZ!!!!!! I remember playing this classic in the arcade with my friend years ago. Then, today when I was at a Slackers with 55 bucks in my pocket saw this for about 50 bucks and thought, "What the Hell. I'll buy this." Well, it was a great purchase as I played it for about 3 hours. This game is just a great classic. I'm so glad that the geniuses at Namco made this gun controller to go along with the game as it makes gameplay more exciting and easier. Buy this and you won't be dissappointed.

okay, now time crisis is known for being an extremely fun light-gun shooting game, and it provides maximum enjoyment, maximun replay value, and even bonus games. most of the bonus games are arcade games, such as "agent training", and in my opinion, all of the bonus games are pretty lame, but the crisis missions are very fun and sort of challenging, (if your pretty experienced, then you can go through about 20 of the missions the first time without screwing up)as the missions start getting really hard on the fifth day (they are divided into days) also, time crisis 2 portrays nice challenges to get extra stuff to do in the arcade mode, such as: 1)if you beat arcade mode twice, then you unlock the option of unlimited ammo; 2)if you beat arcade mode without continuing, then you unlock the option of mirror mode, where the screen is flipped around and left is right and right is left (it doesnt sound like its much, but when you do it its a whole new experience). now onto the review....
STORY 4.5/10
As Time Crisis is known for great gameplay, it is also known for crappy storylines. The story is pretty much linear: rescue the kidnapped girl and stop diaz from launching a nuclear sattelite. As the story is not that great, the voice acting is not that great either. This game is not about story, though, so do not worry about it too much, as you will grow used to the cheesy storyline and acting
SOUND AND MUSIC 8.5/10
GREAT music during gameplay. it makes me actually pause the game and listen to it. They even remixed the original Time Crisis music so it sounds a little...rock-ish. The only problem I have with the music is during the cutscenes, the music makes me want to rip my own head off, along with the person who made that music, as it is that annoying.
On a very positive note, the sound effects are astounding. The gunshots sound very real, the grunting of the men when they fall to their death makes it seem you actually are in the middle of a crisis battle, producing some fun there.
GAMEPLAY 9.5/10
The gameplay in this game is extremely fun and addicting, allowing you to play one or two players at the same time. Namco has also added a quite original and fun way to play the game: double gun mode. This mode lets you play with two guns at once (apparantly), and if your thinking, reloading is not that hard. but beware, your accuracy percentage is sure to go down quite a bit. The only thing I think they should have added on are shields for the enemy. Just one shot will kill the enemy, making it a little too easy there. In order to get a real nice challenge, I put the game mode on Very Hard. But do not worry, the game is still very fun
GRAPHICS 9/10
Extremely good graphics, as water looks like water, lasers look like lasers and so on. nothing more to say
REPLAY VALUE 10/10
This game is a very fun game, and you have different experiences each time you play different modes such as regular 1p, two-player, double gun, and mirror mode. I recommend that you get this game and play with a guncon 2, not a guncon 1
Rating: - Awesome!
Time Crisis 2 is my first shooting game I got for my PS2 and so far its one of the best.....Haven't heard of or played the game until I saw it at the arcades and decided to get the game. I took the risk as a used game at a gaming store saving me about $23. The game AND the gun work great as a pre-owned game....So far its fun cuz you get to blow up a few stuff(ex.: a gas truck behind two cars and an enemy group). I recommend this game for shooting game fans.
