"Is Time Crisis II a good buy?"

Is Time Crisis II much of an advance on Time Crisis I, because if it isn't shouldn't I just get the first one???

Me too its quite fun, if you cant be bothered to buy a foot pedal.

The Namco gun is great very accurate (my mate Rob has one)although personnally I found them very heavy...so I bought myself a Scorpion lightgun which is also very good. Its all down to personal preference.

TimeCrisis 2 in the Arcades is superb, that game would definately be worth getting a console for (Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony take note!).
However its expensive at £1 a credit, when I went to America 2 years ago it only cost 50 cents (first credit only) and 25 cents to continue.....Why are we getting ripped off, that means the Americans get to play the game for 15pence a credit...while we pay a £1. Thats another arguement though :-(


As Willma said the gun blasting action doesnt last long...except perhaps for the PointBlank games, theyre timeless due to their two player vs mode. :-)

it is a good game but as all shootingt fans know the gun blazing action doesnt last very long...good game shame about the extras

That is one hell of a game isn't it! :D I can get to the train level on only 1 credit which is pretty good since they only give me 3 health.. Love the machine gun. shame it is not included in Titan..

Time Crisis Project Titan is a great game if you enjoy those types of shooting arcade in your living room games.

If you get it make sure you get the lightgun as it's boring without :/ and try and get NAMCO one it's just the best.

It's basically as good as time Crisis 2 arcade - basically the same type of game apart from the 2 player feature :(.

You shoot you duck. You die. You try again. Can be repitive at times but it's up to you.

I loved it. Nothing quite as good as holding a gun in front of you and shooting away at some targets. It takes some skill it's not that simple. You have to fire at people far in the way in the distance.

There are lots of levels to keep you occupied - I still can only get to Area 4-1 :(. The bosses are actually good fun - and there is a new feature which makes you change position - so you can actually move when you want to adding much more strategy to the boss levels. There is lots of different enemies to dispose of so there is lots and lots of challenge.

Also I discovered a great way to play it. You put the 2nd controller on the floor and with your feet press the square, triangle, circle and x buttons. Just like a foot pedal and even more like the arcade.

So if you liked any of the Time Crisis arcade games. BUY THIS! and it is only £32.00 with a GCON 45 Namco light gun so that's a pretty darn good price for what you get - it wouldn't be that much of a loss if you didn't like it. The only way you might not like it is if you hate the arcade games or hate games that make you have to start from the beginning again and learn from your mistakes and try again and again and....

Time Crisis Project Titan plays a very similar game to the Original Time Crisis on the playstation. Its a good game however the improvements are only slight cosmetic changes, a new mode allows you to move while ducking out of the screen when fighting boss characters(by fireing at either side o the screen) which is an interesting idea although it doesnt make the game any better. The game is essentially TimeCrisis with new levels, no better.. no worse. The Advantage of this new game is that it is playstation only (So you cant play it at the Arcades), The Advantage of the Original TimeCrisis is that it is an Arcade Game...as such it feels a little nicer and perhaps is a more polished product. For example in Project Titan the bad guys dont seem to fall over as nicely as the did in the original (ie..you blow away their legs they fall forward).
This game would be a welcome addition to any lightgun fans collection but ultimately nothing new. The new version seems more cheesey too (This may be good or bad it depends on your taste)

My advice is to get whatever game/gamepack is cheapest. If you dont have a lightgun then buying ProjectTitan with a G-Con Lightgun is probably the way to go. I personally have a Scorpion lightgun which is great too.

Other great games to buy inlude PointBlank 1,2 and 3 (Not much difference with these either)
The original "Die Hard Trilogy" game.

Be warned though Resident Evil: Survivor, is a strange gun game that was not to my tastes particularly and should probably be rented first before you buy it.


In Summary TimeCrisis Projet Titan... more of the same but no better or worse than the original.

Time Crisis II isn't even out on a console. Its an arcade game, found only in arcades. How do I know this? Because its one of my favourite games and I play it every week there. 2 player with a mate, BAD!

I think you might be talking about Project Titan. Its exactly the same as the first game except for the levels and characters. And I didn't like the first game.. HINT HINT

i think its exactly like the orignal time crisis except the levels are different. the thing is i dont pay attention to the levels when ive got the gun in my hands i just shoot without thinking.

Cheers!

Are you talking about TimeCrisis Project Titan ????

If you have Ive just rented it out so Ill tell you what I think tomorrow.
