Time Crisis 4 is the fourth main game in the series and was once again ported from the arcade version. In the original arcade mode, the plot tells about Giorgio Bruno and Evan Bernard, part of the taskforce V.S.S.E., who investigate a secret weapon that is smuggled by a terrorist organization known as W.O.L.F.
The gameplay is fast-paced and action-packed, with timed sections where both offensive and defensive actions need to be taken. The game can be played with two players simultaneously, and includes the classic switch between different available weapons. Players will also encounter Crisis missions and shooting gallery mini-games in addition to the two main modes.
The console version introduces a new feature called Complete Mission mode, where the player controls captain William Rush, who has the same mission as the V.S.S.E. operatives. This mode features free-roaming environments instead of traditional rail shooter gameplay, allowing players to collect items, investigate locations, and take over turrets.
The game comes with a Guncon 3 light gun controller, which uses infrared emitters for improved accuracy. The controller also features two analog sticks to assist with the free-roaming segments.
Time Crisis 4 was released on November 20, 2007, for the PlayStation 3, and is a first-person shooter that offers a thrilling experience for fans of the series and newcomers alike.
