Time Crisis: Razing Storm Critic Reviews

Taken as a whole; Time Crisis: Razing Storm is a fairly good package.

There are two really solid games in this package, and Razing Storm has a couple fun modes. Compared to most light gun games you'll find lots of great content here. This is a better value than any other recent light gun shooter release.

Move gamers may welcome a solid shooter title, while the Dualshock controller is clearly more suited for the story mode. Best played with a Lightgun in Arcade mode!

Definitely worth picking up for the folks that already know they like these games, and if you have any worries about how the Move will control a title like this, I think this game will put those worries to rest.

An interesting attempt to update the series, but it's the traditional bonus games that impress.

It can be compelling, in short bursts at least.

This game contains three games. First of all the new part, Razing Storm and also the Arcade mode from Time Crisis 4 and the game Deadstorm Pirates. All of them are fun and are working great with the PlayStation Move controller.

Simply put, Time Crisis: Razing Storm isn't going to win over the doubters.

"Quotation Forthcoming"

Time Crisis: Razing Storm is like a Hollywood block muster movie, it's great while you're there but ultimately forgettable the next day.

Time Crisis: Razing Storm is a gaming packaging that brings together both ends of the quality spectrum. Two out of the three games are worth your time and money, and if you can fully ignore the third then you're laughing. If you already own a copy of Time Crisis 4 then don't bother with this - otherwise, this may well be the multiplayer shooter you've been looking for.

The Time Crisis: Razing Storm compilation is a really mixed disc – for those seeking out a light gun game that implements the Move controller well, it will only be partially satisfying, given the weakness of Razing Storm's motion controls. Thankfully, the package is partially saved by the controls and fun factor of Time Crisis 4 and Deadstorm Pirates especially.

Classic on-rails shooter that sticks to its roots and does it well. The fact that Time Crisis 4 and Deadstorm Pirates are included on the disc certainly doesn't hurt. Razing Storm has a Story Mode in which the game tries its hand at being a full-fledged FPS (meaning you control where you go), but fails abysmally. That doesn't detract from the on-rails games, and if you're looking for a classic arcade shooter, this is a very neat package.

The poor controls of Razing Storm's story mode completely negate the chance of getting any enjoyment from it, and they make the rest of the game feel incomplete since the story doesn't get a recap in arcade mode.

This title isn't the worst Move title on the market, but it won't sell any hardware, either.

Save your quarters because this collection just can't touch the arcade experience. Not by a long shot.

If you're a fan of this type of game, there's definitely plenty here to keep you satisfied for quite a while.

Although Time Crisis 4 and Razing Storm are fun on their own, Deadstorm Pirates and the Move compatibility pushes this collection out of "pass" territory and into a firm "rent or buy on the cheap" recommendation.

But if you're not a fan of this genre, don't be fooled by the hype – this is a solid rail shooter, but it's certainly not worth spending your money on, especially in this crowded and star-studded holiday shopping season.

Time Crisis: Razing Storm can be fun when it sticks to its arcade roots, but everything else in this shooter package misses the target completely.
