Time Crisis 4 review PS3

The original Time Crisis was the gun game that brought the genre out of the fairground and the series is back on the PlayStation 3 with this fourth instalment. Time Crisis 4 comes with a brand new gun attachment - it's orange this time - and it's better, lighter and more accurate than ever. It's the gun attachment and the different action it gives the game that makes Time Crisis 4 stand apart, but it takes a bit of getting used to before you'll be fully in the swing of the action. We've got a full Time Crisis 4 review for you this month - find out more in this issue of P3Zine.

Time Crisis 4 review PS3

Let's be straight here - Time Crisis is the gun game that started it all, properly. Before Time Crisis arrived, gun games were all about shooting ducks on Nintendo or blasting shoddy looking cowboys in camp, poorly scripted western themed arcade games, currently residing in Cornish amusement arcades. Of course, the shooting scenes in these games were as accurate as the shooting gallery at your local travelling gypsy fair. Time Crisis ushered in a new style of gun game which featured scary terrorists and full-on armies instead of ducks, policemen or cowboys.

And, thanks to the G-Con gun peripheral, Time Crisis was deadly accurate and now, the best light gun ever has become even better on PS3 . It's got recoil and is even more accurate thanks to the little plug in sensor that is attached to the PS3 USB socket - along with two cubes which neatly dangle from the sides of your TV. The set-up can be used on any screen, whatever size and - if you really feel the need - can be hooked up to a giant plasma or projector screen. The downside of the new gun is that it's orange (government rulings) and makes the game cost more than a usual release - it's 64.99
