Time Crisis 4 is the first Lightgun shooter for the Playstation 3 and in that respect it sets a decent standard, the GunCon itself is very well build (although it would have been nice if it was wireless) and the game offers plenty of depth and replay value. Fans of the lightgun genre will certainly not be disappointed, it's a decent effort and therefore worth purchasing if you like this type of game.

"... 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 actually cant believe this got above an 8 rating. i hate to hit on games and reviews but thats insulting. Your honestly saying to me that TC4 is nearly on par with a game like GT5p which got an 8.5 rating overall?
though i will say they've done the graphics up a little, which do actually look alright - not great, but yeah not mediocre either.
