Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The long-awaited full sequel to one of the original PlayStation's best pure arcade games arrives in the shape of Time Crisis 2, instantly bringing PlayStation 2 gamers an even stronger adrenaline rush of utter gaming heaven. You'll need a lightgun to play it properly--the G-Con 2 is highly recommended--and once you're kitted up you're launched straight into the frenetic action. Complete with a hokum mission about saving the day, the aim is to shoot the bad guys, while leaving the innocent--including your partner--out of the line of fire. There's so much to follow on screen and such addictive gameplay that you simply can't help but have fun. For added enjoyment you can invest in another lightgun and play with a second player, which you'll end up doing until your fingers bleed.
Things aren't entirely perfect, of course. Like the first incarnation, the game is quite short, and it won't take too long to get through the handful of levels provided. Furthermore, the one-player game doesn't hold an enormous amount of long-term appeal. Ultimately though, this is one of the best pick-up and play game on the PlayStation 2. No doubt it will be surpassed in due course, but if you enjoy high-quality arcade games, you absolutely need Time Crisis 2. It really is as simple as that. --Simon Brew
Manufacturer's Description
Enter a full-on crisis situation as you embark on a mission to locate and rescue a president's daughter who is being held by a bunch of trigger happy arms dealers. Packed with new games, cut scenes and a high-pressure two-player mode, Time Crisis 2 is a superb shooter that's more than double the size of the original coin-op. For added dramatics get the G-con 2 lightgun and feel the power of gunfire in every muscle of your hand.

I used to spend hours on this game at the arcade costing a pound a time and have long awaited for it`s release on the PS2.
With the GunCon in hand this game is superb,and it delivers that happy, satisfying feeling of owning an quality arcade game right in your own home.
Namco have always in my opinion produced high quality ports to consoles. Everything from the Tekken and Soul Calibur games to the light-gun games themselves have always been good-looking, fast, fun, and packed with extras for the home versions.Time Crisis 2 is no exception. It's packed with extra bits, mini-games, and what not.

The game itself involves the usual mastermind criminals who want to take over the world (hmmm, same old story, and very corny at times), and you and a gang of van damme look-a-likes are there to stop them. As in the first game the second player, who can be controlled by the computer or your mate, fights by your side.
The game seems to be a straight port of the arcade game (Story, or Mission Select), but now has an added four mini games, Agent Trainer, Quick & Crash, Shoot Away 2, and Crisis Mission.
There is even a two-player mode, which enables players to either play a smooth and fun split-screen mode, or an I.Link version, which involves two PS2s, aint tried this one yet and probably won`t get to!
The short end of it is that Time Crisis II is a decent looking game that really isn't so much about stunning graphics, volumetric fog, or stunning backdrops, It looks good, and the things it does graphically, such as creating shattering glass, throwing tons of moving characters on screen at once all of which shoot, duck, roll, and which actually grab the part of their body that's hit, it does very well!
I will be on this for a long time to come, it`s a must buy, especially at the price of the game and GunCon pack.

I, like many of you reading this, have played numerous shoot 'em up's and seen these converted to console with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Time Crisis 2 is one of those i've been eagerly awaiting, and now finally have. I got the one with the new G-con2 light gun included. The game itself has been souped up graphically and is extreemely addictive. You also get a much wider range of weaponry that the arcade version, or even the original Time Crisis. These include shotgun and machine gun. you can also play with double gun mode, either by yourself or with a mate. The best bit though are the extra games. Theres a basic target practice range, a carnival like shooting game, and shoot away 2, another coin-op conversion which is basically clay pidgeon shooting. This however has an extra mode, all 3D with fantastic graphics, and in itself is really addicitve. The final extra is the Crisis Mission, which is basically a single mission with a single objective to be completed within a time limit. These are great, they take place on a daily basis, with 6 missions per day, and 5 days worth of mission. This equals pleanty of enjoyment and longevity of play. Overall a great looking title and an essential for every PS2 owner.

well this games certanly worth its pay for a start,having got this beuty for my birthday little did I know it would be the best I've ever played in my short life. By compairing time crisis II with the arcade original I noticed better graphics were on the ps2's side (shocking huh?). Now about the game, I find it has A LOT to unlock, this game is one of those rare automatically moving character games. There's even a level where you ride in a boat chasing other boats downstream. The generous members of namco even bothered to squeeze in a hide teqnique!! also they've added a 2 player mode (the only bad point of this is the lack of graphics and a minute screen to each play on ). you can also pick up machine guns to use throughout the gameplay but they dont last long. BUY THIS GAME IT MUST BE ADDED TO YOUR COLLECTION....

Not much to it... but it is fun.
This game is simply, mindless fun. The aim is to do nothing but shoot, and with 4 players on a big tele, there is nothing more fun. Read more

............READ IT.............
Really is it more fun if you have the gun, it might be better if less hasel was involved to get it sorted out. The story line is very basic wich consists of killing the badies. Read more

It's OK, but don't lose your mind
Typically of an arcade game that's migrated to the home market it gains something, and loses something. Read more

Watch out if you have a 100hz TV
