Developed by Namco in Japan, Time Crisis: Crisis Zone is poised to send players into the heart of its next epic battle exclusively for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.

"With unlockable double-gun game play, an arsenal of new weapons and highly interactive environments, Time Crisis: Crisis Zone takes first-person action shooting to a new level of interactive entertainment," said Garry Cole, executive vice president at Namco Hometek Inc. "Time Crisis: Crisis Zone is certain to satisfy long-time franchise fans and eager newcomers this fall."

Time Crisis: Crisis Zone travels to Garland Square, located on the outskirts of London, where a terrorist group has taken control of the recently opened complex. Assuming the role of elite Special Tactics Force counter-terrorism officer Claude McGarren, players enjoy an unprecedented level of realistic interaction with the game play environments, including shooting items off of store shelves and tables, burning clothing racks and breaking glass. En route, players can blaze through levels and eliminate enemies using two GUNCON2s by unlocking the double-gun shooting feature. Additional unlockable features including extra game play modes, special settings and new enemies provide extra depth and replay value to the latest installment in the Time Crisis series of games.
