Ace Gamez: Time Crisis 4 Review

Ace Gamez writes: "It's no secret that the light-gun genre has been on the wane for quite a few years now. The heady days of the original Time Crisis, Virtua Cop and House of the Dead are long gone. Well, that's how it seemed, anyway, because much like the side-scrolling shooter, it seems that the humble light-gun genre will be next to receive a wholly surprising but largely welcome renaissance, thanks to the ever-expanding gaming demographic and increase in potential formats.

While the side-scrolling shooter made a surprise comeback thanks to downloadable games and the advent of Xbox Live, further fuelled by the PlayStation Network, light-gun shooters, whose mid-Nineties heydays seemed like a distant memory, have recently burst back onto the scene thanks in large to the creation of the Nintendo Wii, and more specifically, the Wii' s unique Wiimote controller. Unsurprisingly it was SEGA, the king of light-gun shooters, who were first to fully exploit the machine that was surely the perfect console for the arcade style light-gun shooter. In built is a user-base who are ready to eat up quick and accessible gaming, not to mention a controller that could have been made with light-gun games in mind."
