While other developers walked or ran away from the light gun genre, Namco Bandai has continually pumped out solid arcade shooting experiences for fans at home. With the Point Blank and Time Crisis series, players have blasted, sniped and exploded targets across two different Sony systems. The latest shooter released from Namco Bandai is Time Crisis 4, a port of the arcade game. However, much more than a simple quarter muncher with a few stages to complete, Time Crisis 4 has a ton of exclusive game modes and features that makes the title very enjoyable to play.
Final Verdict 8.0

"... Now though, light gun games seem pretty darn archaic compared with what’s available on home consoles and PCs, what with full 3D first-person shooters that allow gamers to interact with environments and move through areas at their own pace, using their own strategy and guile (and arsenal of weapons) to make it through a wall of enemies. Now-a-days, ‘on-rails’ shooters are considered a cop out – why not just make a full 3D game?
Just because something seems a little old, however, doesn’t mean that it’s not a whole ton of fun, and Time Crisis: Razing Storm packs enough ‘old fun’ onto one disc to make you forget about advances in videogames, and just lets you kick back, squeeze the trigger and have a blast!"
Motion controls such as those found on the PlayStation Move and the Nintendo Wii give you the option of bringing a very specific arcade genre into your home: the light gun game.
We've seen these games on Nintendo's system, but with Time Crisis: Razing Storm Namco, Bandai has the chance to further prove the PlayStation 3 can be a good home for the "kill everything on screen" games.
Razing Storm doesn't just include the titular game, it also packs in the arcade version of Time Crisis 4, as well as the little-known Deadstorm Pirates. For $50, that's quite the variety of games.
Its been known that Deadstorm Pirates would come with this game for a while now. How did this get approved?
I am going to pick this one up tomorrow. Man I wish Sony Would Add time crissis1,2 and 3 to the psn, i would love to give my new light gun a work out.
i am gonna get this when i get more money. already spent so much money and haze & ut iii is still left.
I Did not expect for this game to score so high, A 8.0 score from ign is a good game if you ask me. I would love If sony would add all the previous time crisis to the psn, how cool would that be. Does anyone know how can i Request for this or send them a e mail asking them about them if is possible.
flop
