Crisis Zone playthrough (PS2) (1CC)

Playthrough of the Garland Square scenario. This scenario was the one featured in the arcade version, which had been released in 1999. The PS2 port was released in 2004 and featured all of the levels from the arcade game along with a new set of levels.

It also features enhanced graphics, like the PS2 port of Time Crisis II, but again, I wish there was an option to switch to the original graphics in there.

Crisis Zone plays like Time Crisis II, but instead of having a handgun you have a machinegun and instead of taking cover behind objects you take cover behind the world's strongest ever riot shield. Most enemies have health bars so you've got to shoot them a few times before they die, but most of them don't take that many hits to kill.

I did fine in stages one and two, but stage three was where I lost two of my lives. I just can't seem to get good at the bosses of the third stage, the fat guy I can deal with but the guy with the blades always gives me trouble.

I lost a third life in the fourth stage due to running out of time, but that was OK as the boss is just some old guy you can't help but feel slightly sorry for as the good guys blast the hell out of him in the ending. He wasn't even an old guy in the arcade version, either. I wonder why they changed his appearance?
