And I mean the way it’s mean to be played, with a controller in your left hand and a light-gun in your right.

I’m curious to hear some non-industry-rag opinions of this game. I’ve found one person who’s played it, but he didn’t use a light gun. Which is pretty much the whole point of this game, I feel. Light-gun and controller simultaniously. I think it sounds like a stupendous idea. Just curious how well it was pulled off. Particularly, did they mess up the controls real bad. Very few things suck the fun out of a game faster than poor control.

It’s gotten luke-warm at best reviews from the gaming press.

I’m a light-gun fiend and am very disappointed at the lack of worthwhile titles for the PSX/PS2. My collection consists of Time Crisis 1 and Time Crisis 2, and I probably won’t buy another one until Time Crisis 3 comes out (it just hit our local arcade and I play it like nuts).
