In keeping with the success of bringing arcade games home Namco has announced the release of its arcade hit Time Crisis 2 for the PlayStation2. To maintain the same arcade intensity Namco has also announced the simultaneous release of the new GunCon2 light-gun peripheral that will be packaged with the title. Now all of the fast-paced duck and shoot action will be available for 2 players to enjoy simultaneously. Time Crisis 2 contains all of the bullet-flying action of its arcade counterpart plus many new extras.. The story remains the same with two V.S.S.E. agents racing against time to rescue a fellow agent while stopping Neodyne industries. Their plan to establish a network of satellites they claim are strictly for communications but are actually military in nature.. All the graphics artwork and movies have been exclusively redesigned for the PlayStation2 version. Additional original modes (mini games) have been included to improve your shooting skill--Quick and Crash Shoot Away 2 and Agent Trainer. Newly added are exciting modes--One stage trial mode and Double-Gun mode. The game also features innovative 2 player modes--Use one PlayStation2 and play the game by splitting the screen into half or connect another PlayStation2 with an IEEE 1394 cord and play exactly like the Arcade version Time Crisis 2 is also backwards compatible with the original Guncon.
