Time Crisis: Crisis Zone blasts into stores

Namco Hometek today announced that Time Crisis: Crisis Zone has shipped to retail stores nationwide and will be available starting today. The fourth entry in the long-running light-gun series puts players in the role of an elite Special Tactics Force counterterrorism officer who must counter terrorism with a hail of bullets. A new double-gun mode, as well as new weapons and stages, ups the ante from the original arcade version.

Rated "T" for Teen, Time Crisis: Crisis Zone is available on its own for $49.99 or packaged with a GunCon2 light-gun controller for $59.99. For more information, see GameSpot's review.
