An average job done to make TC4 on the PS3
The Guncon 3 isn't very nice to aim at with it's design. Just anyone didn't know yet, u have ur guncon 3 wired and u have to place 2 sensor over the top for your TV. Both sensors and Guncon 3 would likely make ur area a little wire mess, and both sensors and guncon uses a USB slot each.
The port over from the arcade isn't bad, but just that when playing standing or sitted, the feeling is different, it isn't as comfortable to aim while sitted, which i can understand why some review wasn't impressed with this game at all. And our TV i believe, is placed such that ur sitted and playing.
Note that the bundled guncon3 is only available in orange, those in black are sold seperately.
Graphics:
Very average graphics u see here, it's almost identical to the arcade version. But in the FPS mission mode, the graphics felt bad, the environment weren't very reactable, when u shoot a glass, nothing happens. It's something i expected as a PS3 game.
Some cutscene were good, some were bad, but overall, felt like a PS2 graphics given a HD polish. Of course, as a arcade port over, we shudn't expect too much right?
Gameplay:
The gun is very accurate, but given that during ur calibration, it must be done very accurately as well.
One feature on the gun i didn't like is the replacement button for the foot pedal, you either have to use ur thumb to hold onto one button, or use both hands to hold a guncon which somewhat resembles a pistol.
I won't even mention about using controller to play since it bundles with a guncon3.
There's a few modes for this game, ur not just getting time crisis 4, but also some mini games and A FPS mission mode which i'm not really into, it's quite boring and the control makes ur muscle stiff after an hour of play.
There's also the crisis core mission, where it's said the military is training some newbies for preparation of what happened in the arcade mode. i wasn't too interestes also, got turned down by the difficulty.
Sound:
Nothing spectacular here, very average, there isn't much bass sound for gunfire as well. The dialog isn't good as well.
Unless ur a hardcore Light gun shooter gamer, if not the amt. ur going to spent on this game alone doesn't justify the price. i myself avoid arcade shooters because they're expensive, and thought this would be the time i try a light gun shooter of TC4, it does offer lots of content, but only the minigames and aracde version interest me, yet both are short in gameplay time.
