Gamepro.com Review: Time Crisis 4 - 4/5

Tae Kim writes:

"As someone who sunk their fair share of quarters into Time Crisis 4 arcade machines, I had high hopes for the PS3 port of Namco-Bandai's slick light-gun shooter.

I wasn't disappointed, as it's a near perfect port. For short bursts of light-gun action, it's pretty tough to beat, especially considering the fact that it's the only one around."

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.

El33tonline Review: Time Crisis: Razing Storm (PS3)

"... 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!"

Move, dodge, kill: Time Crisis Razing Storm on the PS3 gets pirates | Ars Technica Preview

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.
