Time Crisis: Crisis Zone Hints IV (PS2)

Time Crisis: Crisis Zone is a video game developed and published by Namco Limited. The game was created exclusively for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony although ports were planned, but never implemented. The game was launched in September 2004. The title is classed as a shooter action game and it is played from a first person perspective. The game is based on a popular arcade title which saw several iterations in arcade cabinets all over the world.

Time Crisis: Crisis Zone is basically a pin off in which you play the part of a member belonging to an elite anti terrorist group called Special Tactical Force. The terrorist group you are supposed to combat is called U.R.D.A. The group managed to take over an office building which also houses a nuclear reactor and they plan to detonate it. It is, as always, up to you to stop them from doing it.

You cannot directly control the character on the screen, as its movements are predetermined and you only have to worry about taking out the enemies which pop up on screen. You also have a shield which allows you to deflect blows and shots but which also prevents you from shooting.

The game allows a player to use the G-con 45 and G-Con2 light guns. The port for the PS2 also has an extra mission, called Grassmarket District, which takes place six months after the Garland Square mission.

 

GAMEPLAY HINTS

 

Tiger and Edge

Consider Tiger and Edge to be the toughest Bosses of the main mission, with the exception of the Geyser 1 battle with Lynch and his collective backup troops. Tiger has brute strength and can soak up lots of bullets, while Edge (formerly known as Edgey in the arcade version) uses acrobatics and speed to dodge shots and catch you off-guard. Get a feel for when Tiger will throw or swing objects in the area at you, and take cover accordingly. However, Edge is a greater threat of the two due to his lightning speed. Very good players can deflect his Naginatas with accurate shots. You shouldn't worry about being double teamed, but if given a choice, you should be more cautious of Edge.
