True, and the dialogue is awful with its poor voice acting, but it makes for a lot of fun at the nickel arcade. I'm easy to please to with gun games, so long as they're cheap.

You must remember that Time Crisis is for the arcade. You don't go to an arcade to revel in the dynamics of the hero and heroine, you just want to have fun and shoot some bad guys up. And then put 'ASS' as your name on the high scores, you witty devil, you.

I'm almost never in arcades. And when I am, I usually go for the really old games, like Galaga and Pacman.

you know what was a great gun game was Jurassic Park, where you had to shoot off screen to reload...
I'd put money in both player slots and then play dual pistol style

Virtua Cop 1 & 2 on the Saturn. House of the Dead on the dream cast. Good stuff.
