The closest games to Time Crisis are Time Crisis 3, House of the Dead: Remake, Virtua Cop, Pistol Whip and Blue Estate. Below are 9 picks with the reason for each — what carries over from Time Crisis, and what does not.
What Made Time Crisis Work
Time Crisis put a pedal under the cabinet, and that one addition made it a different genre. Cover is a decision you make with your foot, the timer punishes hesitation, and a run is fifteen minutes. Rail shooters without the pedal feel passive by comparison.
