Anybody played this shooting game yet? The innovative add-on of getting to choose the weapon you like was relatively OK, not a really original idea to me though. But it does add a bit of fun factor to the series of the game.

Also find the pace to be a tad too slow as compared to the last 2 games...Hmmmm relatively a OK game and a nice add-on to the series, but not really a game that is really exciting to play though.

Are you playing the arcade version?

I haven't had a chance to play it yet.

Be kind to goblins.

This game is a lot harder than 2. This mostly has to do with those freakin ninjas. They really like to step out from the side of the screen and claw you in no time.

It *is* harder than 2, but not just for that reason. The crisis indicators are MUCH more difficult to see in this game, especially on Stage 3 when lots of things are on fire...makes it next-to-impossible to see them form. That's one of the *best* things about Crisis Zone: not only did you receive an audio tone that went along with the crisis indicator, but you could actually shoot the enemy AS THE CRISIS INDICATOR FORMED, and thereby nullify the crisis indicator. CZ is by far the best Crisis series game.

But those ninjas certainly are cheap, aren't they? Not only that, but in the Wild Dog/Fang fight (still love Wild Dog...not yet decided on Wild Fang), there's an absolutely unavoidable hit when Wild Dog comes onto the screen at one point. Strict memorization as to when he's going to appear or you lose a life. I'm not crazy about that. However, the ninjas are the bigger annoyance.

The slower pace of the game was purposely designed: they wanted the game to be significantly longer than 2, thus they can help the operators make more money, and justify the expense of this machine (and believe you me...this machine is *expensive*), but most ops won't be all that bothered: TC2 still pulls in good money with $.50 per play. It's been a cash cow for years.

Oh, and the last boss? Cheap as a $2 whore.
