A new machine gun and main character won't cut it for this crappy rip-off of a swat game.....

User Rating: 6 | Crisis Zone PS2
Crisis Zone is a classified into a, "swat shoot-em-up" Rest assured, this is far from a regular Time Crisis game, true, the annoying time meter is still up and gives you like 10 minutes each section, and the new MP5 light gun may seem cool, but with a crappy story and terrible AI, this is one Time Crisis game that is nothing to be played except in theater lobbies....
So, the story takes place in a over-run mall where a swat team is sent in to kill terrorists and save civilians. You get a riot shield as a cover mechanic, and the pedal still makes the game a pain to play with adrenaline in your veins. The gun you have seems to never run out of a current clip and isn't the most realistic thing in a swat game. So annoying enemies pop out with pretty much your basic Time Crisis AI weapons, pistol, assault rifle, grenades, shotguns, and rocket launcher, but the game makes the bad guys act like they're playing tea parties with the guns they got, than firing at you. Your team can be rarely spotted and never help in a difficult situation in-game. Like a Ghost Squad game, the MP5 is a great gun to hold and is more fun to feel the recoil in your hands, sorry, I forgot about Crisis Zone for a minute, the gun is heavy, has no recoil, and is a sloppy design. Co-op is worse, enemies seem to aim for player 2 and hope that the 5 credit system will run out sooner or later for them, and then take aim on you for you getting stuck with a heavy armor guy shooting a rocket launcher at you and hoping for a give-up to own you. So all-in-all, you're better off just paying 50 cents at a lobby than playing this garbage.....
