Crisis Zone (Time Crisis) PS2 & Arcades

Hello.

Is Crisis Zone (Namco) for the PS-2, the exact same game as Crisis Zone for the SYSTEM SUPER 23 Namco Arcade HARDWARE?

I played Crisis Zone (Arcade) in Summer 2000 at the Arcades & I loved the Level layout & gameplay, so I would like to know if the PS-2 version shares the exact same levels & gameplay & whether it's a an arcade perfect port, before I waste my hard earned money on it.

What I really liked in the Arcade version, was the ability to protect your self with a shield. It was funny that it could even with-stand the rockets fired by the Attack-Heli Boss at the end of Shopping-Center Stage!

That was so cool!

Is this level & helicopter in the PS-2 version as well?

Also does the PS-2 version have a 2-Player simultaneous cooperative mode?

I'm also planning to get the G-Con2 Light Gun for it.

Thanks in advance.

The PS-2 & Arcade game covers are completely different though.

The Swat Guys with the cool Mecha-type helmets look so much better than the cheesy chaps in the PS-2 cover imo…

While I haven't played it for ps2 (I did beat it many times in the arcade), I'd be willing to bet they didn't cut anything out of the game. However, I'd also be willing to bet it's not as fun at home, atleast not without a giant vibrating orange machine gun to hold.

I've never been to thrilled with the accuracy of guncons for playstation anyway, in the arcade they work great but at home they don't.

OK.

I got Crisis Zone for the PS-2. Great arcade port, graphics, sound & gameplay are all there.

But what I found very annoying is that when ever you shoot with the G-Con2 light gun, the whole screen gets filled up with grey smoke/fog (Supposedly from the gun's repetitive fire power…)

I find this very annoying & distracting & does not allow you enjoy the graphics to their full extent.

If you play the game with the regular PS-2 Joypad there is no smoke/fog effect but the game isn't as playable as when using the G-Con2.

Is there anyway to completely eliminate annoying retarded grey smoke/fog effect?

There is an option to reduce the flashing on the screen but that didn't fix the smoke/fog problem.

Is it the same in Time Crisis 2, 3 & Vampire Night for the PS-2 as well?

I was thinking about getting those too, but I wouldn't want to waste money if they also have this smoke/fog effect when firing with the G-Con2?!....

I hate playing these games with joypads.

Any info will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

I just bought it today. The reason the screen fogs up is to inscrease the guns accuracy. The brighter the screen is the more accurate the gun is. So, instead of you having to adjust your tv settings it automativly brightens it.

Also, I found the game is just like the arcade, but the character models are differen't and have a lesser poly count. But oh well, the game is silky smooth. If only there was a machine gun for the PS2
