Not only that but I found my swings to be less accurate when using the Sharpshooter so I eventually took out the motion controller, holding it in my hand instead. If you’re like me and use the awesome Sharpshooter peripheral, swinging this big piece of plastic all the time can become tiresome and tedious since this Wheel Action bullshit comes up often. The feature acts as quick-time event of sorts and it’s just fucking annoying. In these scenarios you’re usually steering or dodging attacks. These scenarios require you to either rapidly rotate the motion controller in a circle, or quickly rotate it left or right. Then there’s the “Wheel Action” scenarios which are downright horrible and almost ruin the game. Every now and then a green gem will appear and shooting it grants you the Special Shot ability enabling you to rapidly shoot green beams, decimating any enemies in your way, but only for a limited time. Then there’s “Treasure Hunt!” where you approach multiple chests and shooting the right one grants you more health. Throughout each stage are treasure chests you can shoot to obtain treasure which gives you a higher score. There is no reloading, ducking, or blocking of any kind so you’ll need to quick and kill the enemies before they kill you. Your characters are equipped with Golden Guns. However, playing through all five will give you a higher score in the end. You don’t actually need to play through the first stage, Stormy Sea, and beating the other three will unlock the final stage. Instead of forcing you to play through each stage in a specific order you can choose any stage from the get-go. And last but not least is the unlockable final stage, Treasure, where you fight the final boss. The Great Whirlpool where you fight a Kraken and attacking ships. The Mountain Stream has you floating along blowing away enemy crabs and fish. The Cave which doubles as the enemy hideout. There’s five stages including the Stormy Sea where you defend your ship against invading undead pirates. You’re given three credits, or lives, to start with and in arcade mode, each “Game Over” grants you one extra credit. Just like the other two games you can play through arcade and ranked modes. You’re accompanied by a bunch of other pirates on a quest to find Poseidon’s Breath, the ultimate treasure. You play as pirates Eric or Leah but I’m not sure which one when playing alone. But is it enough to save this collection from it’s already lackluster content? Well once again I loaded up my Sharpshooter and this time I fired up Deadstorm Pirates and hoped for the best. Unrelated to the Time Crisis series, Deadstorm Pirates is a rail shooter where you blow away hordes of undead pirates in search for the ultimate treasure. Fortunately there’s one more game in this collection and that’s Deadstorm Pirates. While the arcade modes in both games were fun, it’s just not enough content to keep me coming back. Time Crisis 4 was stripped of its first-person shooter mode from its 2007 port leaving us with only the arcade mode. Razing Storm had a shitty story mode, boring Sentry mode, and a fun, but extremely short, arcade mode. Two of three games on the Time Crisis: Razing Storm disk for PlayStation 3. In the last review I went over Time Crisis: Razing Storm and Time Crisis 4.
