Originally
released in 1997, Time Crisis 2 foisted two secret agents going by the names of
Keith Martin and Robert Baxter onto a shooting rampage under the guise of
rescuing fellow agent Christy Ryan. The coin-op cabinet featured two
televisions, side by side, so two players could drop quarters simultaneously
and take up the gun. Foregoing the lazy way of bringing coin-op games home,
Namco polishes the PS2 conversion of TC2 with updated graphics, new game
objectives, and throws in a number of bonus game modes including a quick draw
contest, agent trainer, and skeet shooting. The 2-player split-screen mode runs
at full speed and maintains aspect ratios by "wide-screening" the two
windows. Highly enjoyable, Time Crisis 2 supplies a jolt of mindless trigger
wrecking action as you blast caps at screen goons and assorted henchmen. Also
included in the Japanese packaging sits the new Guncon v2.0. Colored matte
black as opposed to bright orange for the American Guncon v2.0, the new weapon
features a comfortable grip, a tactile trigger, and good weight to balance in
your hands. NCS is now pre-sold out of the Japanese Time Crisis 2 package but
we expect to restock the game within 1 week's time.
