Time Crisis 3

Why waste quarters playing an arcade light-gun game when you can pick up your very own plastic pistol and shoot at your TV? If it’s because your place smells like a Third World locker room, save your quarters for laundry and buy this game. The light beam bullets start to fly when you and your small team of well-coiffed heroes try to thwart the hostile invasion of a quaint Mediterranean island by a hostile neighbor looking to stir an international shitstorm. The good, clean, stupid twitchfest takes you through beaches, towns, and moving vehicles as you select a pistol, machine gun, rocket launcher, or shotgun to blow Euro terrorists into espresso grounds. The only drawback is that the game is so damn short. Well, that and incinerated bad-guy residue makes for shitty coffee.
