The bullets begin to fly following the unprovoked invasion of Astigos Island by the oppressive Zagorias Federation. Despite heavy resistance, the Federation army has already seized 80 percent of the island and installed a number of tactical missiles, endangering all of the surrounding nations. Alan Dunaway and Wesley Lambert, two of the V.S.S.Es best agents, have been sent in to nullify the threat
Time Crisis 3 may already be an arcade success, but this is no direct port - Namco has implemented a whole host of improvements for the console version - a completely new scenario, featuring gun-totting heroine Alicia Winston and the innovative Sniper System are both PlayStation 2 exclusives. Also included are updated and enhanced versions of the Crisis Missions first seen in the PlayStation 2 version of Time Crisis 2, complete with extra objectives and new mission parameters.
For the first time in the Time Crisis series, you can select from an arsenal of four weapons. As well as a standard Hand Gun, the Machine Gun, Shotgun and Grenade Launcher all have individual strengths, but limited ammunition, adding a new tactical element to the game.
With simple controls, multiplayer modes and a ranking system to rise through, Time Crisis 3 offers both instant accessibility and longevity.
