Is Crisis Zone still worth playing in 2026?

A light gun game from Namco, Crisis Zone is a beefed up spin-off of Time Crisis where a special unit agent clears fully destructible settings with a machine gun, taking cover via the pedal or button. The omnipresent destruction, the frantic pace and the GunCon gun handling make it a very effective arcade vent. The reliance on the peripheral and a repetitive content limit access today. A title for fans of light guns, snappy arcade shooting and destruction on PS2.
