PlayTM writes: "Compared to their western counterparts, Japanese arcades are a veritable joy - a mecca of noisy, garish pleasures; a sensory overload - not just because of the games, but also the crowds of teens and young adults that inhabit them.
Simple pleasures are the aim of the game in these places, and games like Time Crisis prove incredibly alluring. Taken in the right context, light-gun, on-rails shooting proves just the ticket for a few minutes of intense fun. Kiss goodbye to those 100 Yen coins. In the lounge, however, and without the quick thrill-excitement of the arcade, these titles have always been a bit hit and miss, and its little surprise that despite Namco's attempts to reinvent Time Crisis on the PS3 - this is a game that for me really is best consigned to a certain time and a certain place."
