A true capture of the arcade series.

Best rail shooter of all time

Muchas tardes tras salir del cine he jugado con mi padre a este juego en las recreativas. Está bien perrón.

Me and my cousin spent waaaay too much money on this arcade back in the day. We never finished it because we were stupid and kept going back for more tokens and starting the game all over again. Worth every penny.

Twice the action, twice the guns, twice the arcade cabinet size, and TWICE THE PLAYERS! Time Crisis II might be one of the most literal translations when Namco gave this crew the objective "make the second Time Crisis game" as it evolved its gameplay and expanded the horizon in order to make the game big enough for two players (I bet selling those gigantic cabinets to arcades and movie theaters gave Namco a nice chunk of change too).

There's something I inherently adore about the "lone wolf" setting the original Time Crisis had, something the mainline games would never return to. So I can't help but love the original game just a tad bit more. Still, this game is awesome and feels a bit more fair with how they design the enemy attacks, giving you a decent warning to react in order to avoid getting hurt! Time Crisis II is an appropriate step-up from the original experience in the ways that really matter the most.

The easiest of the Time Crisis games, but a hallmark of me roaming Dave and Busters back when I was a kid. I have yet to find a game with more satisfying pistol sound effects than this.
