Time Crisis uses either a controller or Namco’s own Guncon. The Guncon replicates the arcade’s controls with a second button that mimics the foot pedal to hide behind cover. The accuracy of the Guncon goes beyond other light guns of that period as it detects shots down to the pixel. This can be frustrating at times as you need to be incredibly precise but that is a minor complaint. Using a controller works but is not ideal. You can manage and the game’s pacing and cover system helps to an extent. But by the middle of the second mission the density of enemies rises significantly. You will need to practice extensively and memorize spawn points to succeed this way. It is doable but not as fun as wielding a gun and sadly probably how most will have to play today.

Alongside the main games in the series, it also has spawned a number of spin-off titles that incorporate the cover mechanics and time limit gameplay elements, but with notable differences in combat situations and organisations involved in each game's story and levels.

Accurately shoot the exact center of the R found in CRISIS on the main title menu. You will see cross hairs next to the word TIME. Shoot the middle of those twice. You have to be really accurate but if you do it correctly, you will get a cheat menu that will bring up options like extra lives and more. Time Crisis Gun The reason I like Time Crisis so much is that it is an action movie that just happens to be a rail shooter. Rather than a series of disparate levels it is one continuous mission that evolves as you progress. There are betrayals and escalations as the situation progresses as the enemy realizes the danger you present. Simple soldiers upgrade to riot shields and bazookas and environmental hazards will force you in to cover. The game sells the idea that you are on a time limit extremely well and has an epic finale that is worth the significant amount of practice it will take to reach. Sure I would have liked some optional power-ups and even two-player coop but those are minor complaints in the face of the game’s overall quality. R.I.P. PlayStation: The best of 1995-2001". Hyper.
