You and your partner rushed into a room filled with pistol wielding bad guys. Before anyone can blink, you’ve neutralized the enemy with a series of gunfire attacks. There after you existed through the window, then the balcony and down to the streets where you confronts a group of goons standing in front of a gas tanker. Before the can react, a quick burst of gunfire and Boom! Forget Confidential Mission and house of the Dead 2 because Time Crisis 2 is here, and it is one of the best gun games on the market.

Playing Time Crisis 2 is awesome, because you’ll be discharging more than empty bullet shells onto the floor as you go on your rampage through the action pack-filled scenarios. High-speed boat chases against ninja torpedo men, back up by helicopters and a boss with a chain gun for an arm, and did I mention fighting against tanks and commandos wielding rocket lanchers.

If you have a copy of G-Con 2 along with Time Crisis, {the old G-Con 45 can work with Time Crisis 2 but without third party guns}, you can get an I-link mode up and running for super cool multiplayer gameplay. Even though there is a split screen mode, the I-link is the best option. Anyhow you will take different routes throughout the game. Your team mate will frequently get into the line of fire and in one scenario your mate will have to bob and weave in front of you in a speed boat to the point you will be hard press not to hit him.

What’s interesting, if you got guns but not your pals, you can get all of Lara Croft in the double Gun mode instead, which gives double the firepower. With the all out fury of the arcade mode, there are a lot of play modes to go through like Shoot Away 2, Quick and the Cash not to mention Agent Trainer. There is no comparison though to the very addictive gameplay that is available in the Crisis Missions. You will have to clear rooms filled with lots of gun-wielding bad guys within two second time limits, with 15 hit combinations even though you only got nine bullets in your gun, showing off your shooting skill that would put any sniper to shame.

As well as the all-out fury of the Arcade mode, there are loads of other mini games and play modes to blast through, including Shoot Away 2 (a retro arcade clay pigeon shooting game) Agent Trainer and Quick & Crash (a sort of fairground shooting challenge). But without doubt the most addictive gameplay can be found in the Crisis Missions. You’ll be clearing rooms full of gun-toting baddies within two-second time limits, getting 15 hit combos even though you’ve only got nine bullets in your gun, and showing off the kind of sharp-shooting skills that would put Robocop to shame.
