Namco announced that the latest installment of its light gun shooter franchise, Time Crisis 3, has gone gold. Exclusively for the PlayStation 2, Time Crisis 3 is on track for a late October release. Additionally, the company announced today the launch of the Time Crisis 3 official Web site.
Currently, the site offers readers the first look at the game's Crisis Mission Mode. Unique to the console version of Time Crisis 3, Crisis Mission Mode allows players to participate in a variety of missions, each with its own, unique objective--with an outstanding performance earning the player different medals. The site also provides visitors with large, detailed images of its primary characters, links to screenshots and the official game trailer. Time Crisis 3 fans are also offered a registration area to sign up for e-mail updates on the game.
Time Crisis 3 promises fast-paced shooting action through the adventures of the world-renowned VSSE's elite agents. Players are transported to Lukano, a Mediterranean coastal nation, where Zagorian Federation troops have invaded the land and taken key members of the Lukano Liberation Force hostage. As local residents and neighboring countries face the worst from a potential missile strike, the VSSE commits agents, Wesley Lambert and Alan Dunaway, to neutralize the threatening forces and return power to the leaders and citizens of Lukano.
