Gamasutra: "One might think that the arcade-style gun game isn't a good console game proposition in 2007 - but Namco Bandai's Time Crisis 4 is trying to prove that wrong with their PlayStation 3 exclusive arcade conversion, bundled with the new Guncon 3.
The title also ships with a home version-exclusive FPS mode, as well as the full arcade version of the latest iteration of the classic lightgun title".
GG writes: No trip to the arcade is complete without some light gun blasting action. Especially co-op style! So we're going to have a look at what's still one of the best around, the classic blast-em up, Time Crisis 4.

"... 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?

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
imagine if FPS like COD 4 you can play it with guncon 3?
o well it requires extremely well aiming to shot from distance but short-middle range combat will rock
This game is a piece of crap. Time Crisis 4: 3.5/10 from 1UP.
I hope to get the fourth early next year because of my budget. Its really a game that brings back memories.
