Time Crisis is a light gun, first-person rail shooter arcade game, developed and released by Namco in 1995, and the first title to be released in the series of the same name.
The port features an exclusive Special mode, in which the player's performance, such as how quickly they can clear an area, affects the path they take through the game, resulting in multiple possibilities and endings. ==Plot== In 1995, the V.S.S.E., an international protection agency, helps Sercian opposition leader William MacPherson engineer a coup that overthrows a century-old authoritarian regime.
It contains audio dramas that depict events during and before the first game, such as Miller's battle against Sherudo from the game. ==Reception== The Japanese arcade magazine Game Machine listed Time Crisis as being the most-successful arcade game of the year in April 1996.
The game's story focuses on Richard Miller, a secret agent, who is sent to rescue a kidnapped woman from a ruthless tyrant seeking to reclaim control of their former country from a new regime. A port of the game for the PlayStation was released in 1997, as part of a bundle coinciding with the launch of the Guncon light gun controller, and featured a add-on pack of additional stages that are set after the event of the main story.
New music was recorded for the Special Mission mode by Tatsuro Tani and Tomoko Tat2, using a "synthesized orchestra" of 50 individually synthesized instruments. ==Soundtrack== A soundtrack Time Crisis Arcade Soundtrack was released in 1997.
Both the arcade original and the console version were well-received by critics, in particular with its gameplay mechanics, with the game proving a commercial success and spawning a sequel, Time Crisis II, in 1998, and a spin-off title, Project Titan, in 2001. ==Gameplay== Time Crisis is a three-dimensional first-person rail shooter similar to Virtua Cop and The House of the Dead, in that the player holds a light gun and fires at on-screen enemies.
