(It’s the only game on the disc that requires an install.) It’s so simple, but the (purposely?) flat voice acting, ridiculous setting, and Let’s Go Jungle borrowed team shooting mechanic makes Deadstorm Pirates well worth the 3.8GB install. You don’t even need to reload in Deadstorm Pirates. No weapons to switch between, just a single power-up that appears at set places. There’s no 'pedal' or cover to hide behind. Letting go of the front grip made Deadstorm Pirates few motion controlled scenes much more responsive.ĭeadstorm Pirates drops many elements Namco Bandai introduced over the years. When playing with the Guncon, I noticed the wheel actions had a problem detecting motion I held the controller with both hands. A few sequences, including the aforementioned Kraken boss, lets players steer a ship with motion control. Wheel actions are triggered at specific moments so you can’t shake your way out of a skeleton sword fight. Namco Bandai added wheel movements to Deadstorm Pirates, motions where players have to quickly move the Guncon left or right to dodge attacks like a bite from a gigantic snake. Levels are piled up with skeletons and a Kraken to shoot. Imagine Pirates of the Caribbean with guns, that’s the concept of Deadstorm Pirates. The shotgun, for example, is super effective against wasp-like Terror Bites.Įven though it isn’t the headline title, Deadstorm Pirates is without a doubt the most fun game in Namco’s shooting collection. Each one is weak against a different gun. The greatest threat in Time Crisis 4 are Terror Bites. The best parts of Time Crisis 4 are its over-the-top helicopter scenes and switching weapons to shoot bugs. Don’t worry, you’re not missing anything. It’s actually the same game Namco Bandai sold with the Guncon 3 back in 2007, but without the FPS mode.

Time Crisis 4 is just a port of the arcade game. Once you get the right amount of credits it takes about half-an-hour to blast through the entire game. To keep players from beating Razing Storm too quickly, you start out with a limited number of credits. Just point, hold down the trigger, and destroy. Similar to Time Crisis: Crisis Zone, the arcade port of Time Crisis: Razing Storm gives you a machine gun and a bullet blocking shield (+10). Both modes are exactly what they sound like, with light gun controls… and less players. There’s an option to play the FPS mode online in deathmatches or team battles. Sometimes they’ll just stand there, as if you’re in a carnival shooting gallery. Fortunately, even at point blank range, enemies will miss you. For some reason Namco Bandai decided tilting the controller to hide was a good idea. Maybe, I thought, Namco Bandai designed this mode for a regular controller so I tried it again, but the controls are still cumbersome. Otherwise you’re just standing in a prime spot to be shot. Second, you have to stand perfectly in the right spot to take cover. First, you can only hide under Namco Bandai assigned points. Using the wonky G-action cover system is a major problem. While under cover, Razing Storm plays like a classic Time Crisis game where you can pop-in and out to shoot at soldiers and giant mechs. Namco Bandai added an awkward cover system to Time Crisis: Razing Storm where you can wave the Guncon up to hide behind an object. Its similar to the first person mode Namco Bandai made for Time Crisis 4 where the Guncon 3’s analog sticks move your character and players point to shoot enemies.

Razing Storm has a made for PS3 first person shooter mode. Out of the three, its the one with the most changes. Let’s go with the titular game, Time Crisis: Razing Storm. Time Crisis: Razing Storm, more appropriately called Big Gun 3 Shooting in Japan, packs three Namco developed light gun games on one disc.
