I love me some shooters of this ilk so I'm sad that TC4 didn't perform well enough (technically) to spark the genre back to what it was during the the early to mid PS2 years.
Having purchased a new CRT last December so I can still play my PS1&2 shooters as they were meant to be was in hindsight a very smart move. Now if only Sega would bother themselves to port Ghost Squad and HOTD to the PS2... |

That's a bit of a shame. I was really hoping that this could kickstart a return to popularity for lightgun games. I am still upset that there has never been a home version of Virtua Cop 2 & 3. Anybody know where I can get a copy of those games? Can I buy them for my laptop?

Leftie warning - I got this game in the States last year, but have to warn all lefties that it's almost impossible to play through the FPS section as a left-handed player. You're forced to hold and aim the gun in your right hand, and move etc. with your left hand which didn't work for me at all.
Arcade mode is fine (but still cumbersome as a leftie, I had to adopt a 'wrap-around, under hand grip to reach the cover buttons). Anyway, just a note for all fellow lefties so you're not too disappointed... |

Virtua Cop 2 was converted to home consoles. There's a great version of it on the Saturn and you can also find it for the PS2 via Virtua Cop Elite Edition (PAL only). There's also a version for winPC but these days you'll be hard pressed to find a setup where you can play it properly with a light gun (use a mouse). As always Ebay is your best bet to find such games. @Les Indeed, but unfortunately it just doesn't work or feel the same, no matter how many plastic contraptions for the wiimote they come up with. Still, its better than nothing.

Virtua Cop 2 is in this PC port compilation: http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/904613/X... And there was a home version on the Saturn too of course. Great fun. edit: beaten by Kon...

Those are two very different games. Ghost Squad is much like the arcade games of old, as it's simple and short. The story is just there for the sake of it. A good choice if you don't mind getting only a few hours of game out of your purchase. Its also good for a quick fix play. Umbrella Chronicles take a different approach with very long stages (a single stage can take longer to get through than a complete play of ghost squad), various weapons to use at once, a more involving story complete with documents to read and plenty of cut-scenes. Either are also good fun with a second player. |

It's very sad. I hope one day a good game will emerge again, because I did really love this genre and the only reason I stopped playing the previous Time Crises is because modern TVs don't work with it.
I'm hoping that the gun isn't actually as bad as it seems and that some other game will show this. It seems to have some potential at least. And yeah, Point Blank was great also, but only really as a multiplayer game for two guns. ;) |

Yeah, but if you played seriously you'd clamp the slide in place with your free hand anyway =)
Time Crisis (and Project Titan) and Point Blank 1 & 2 were amongst my most-played PS1 games. It's a real shame the Wii didn't live up to its promise of being a viable shooter platform. |

@ irnchriz - yes, because it's almost certainly the PS3's fault and probably Sony's fault too that this is a poor game. Idiot.

In a way doesn't really matter whos fault it is, it's another exclusive that isn't that great. Exclusives are all that seperate the 360 and PS3 really and owning both the 360 fairs better in the department so far. And that's what people will look at, who is developing the games has little relevance. |

Has anyone tried to play this 2 player yet?
Do you need two sensors [and an extra USB hub] or can you make do with two guns and one LED thing? Fortunately I have a 60 gig console so no need to buy a hub. You can get the guns solus somewhere in the world right? Saves buying an extra copy of the bundle or consulting one of these self-help books... "1001 uses for an unwanted copy of Time Crisis 4" "1 use for 1001 unwanted copies of Time Crisis 4" [Chapter 1 - return the stock to Sony for full credit] |

Boo. I loved Time Crisis 1 and Point Blank 1 & 2 on PS1... Haven't read anything about TC4 until now and am really disappointed that it's shit. I'm left handed as well so am definitely not going to get it now, why do they need to overcomplicate things? The original gun worked great for R and L handers!

@ irnchriz, woodnotes, miiiguel
Gosh, people were discussing the game itself here and these idiotic xbots just had to wade in with their snide remarks... Edit: for the record, I dont own a PS3, i just can't stand moronic fanboys =P

@ woodnotes
LoL, why the overreaction? U might want to dish some of that advice back to yourself instead of resorting to puerile insults =P |

@ tridentz
Because apparently calling people xbots, fanboys or moronic isn't using puerile insults. They made a joke about a game that turned out bad playing on the perception (and truth) of PS3's lack of decent exclusives compared to 360. Nothing wrong with that. That doesn't make them automatically fanboys or xbots. That makes them every other person on the internet who realises the same thing. |

@ RyanT
Of couse it's a joke...but a moronic and needless fanboy joke at that. Jabbing in sarcastic comments (oh yet another winning exclusive for the PS3! Hurrah!) when people were talking about the game is not constructive, the only intent was to insult and to ridicule. If that's not moronic then nothing is. |
