User Rating: 7 | Time Crisis 3 (w/GunCon2) PS2
The third installment in Namco’s highly acclaimed light gun shooting franchise, Time Crisis 3 offers exciting, fast-paced shooting action by the world renown VSSE agents as they fight to save an innocent nation from total annihilation.

If you're just joining us, the core system for the Time Crisis series is the ducking feature. While you're ducking, nothing can hurt you and you can reload your gun. Thus, if someone's firing a missile at you, you can duck and avoid taking any damage. You can't hide forever because you have a timer constantly counting down. Spend too much time in any one section and you lose a bit of health. You can only keep moving by clearing the screen of baddies.

With the Guncon2 from Time Crisis 2, this is an extremely easy system to pick up. Push a button on the side of the gun and you duck out of the way. You can even keep your gun pointed in the same direction instead of aiming off to the side to reload like in other shooters.

If you want to play the game with the analog controller you're definitely at a slight disadvantage. This is a shooting game that needs a gun, but it's still workable to play without one. After a little practice, we were able to play almost as well, but it definitely felt better to hold the plastic gun.

The big new addition here is the variety of weapons. In addition to the regular pistol, you can fire a machine gun, a shotgun, and a grenade launcher. You start off with a little bit of ammo for each weapon, but can get more by shooting the yellow enemies that run across the screen. It adds to the game when you run into a room and choose just what weapon will work best for blowing everyone away. When a ton of tough characters fill the screen, it's satisfying to load up the grenade launcher, jump up, and blow the room to smithereens
