In theory, the iPhone and the Wii are good platforms for point-and-shoot type games — you know, House of the Dead, Virtua Cop, Time Crisis. But while you can recreate the game as faithfully as possible, it’s hard to get past the fact that the control schemes just aren’t as fun as the arcade originals.
As you can see, the play mechanics of Time Crisis are intact, but here’s the thing: you’re not holding a gun in your hand. You don’t feel the mechanical kickback that makes Time Crisis so fun, and you’re not pulling a trigger or busting a virtual cap gangster-style. You’re just touching the screen — a reasonable facsimile but not convincing when it comes to fun factor.
Man Devin, you got rocked on that level.
I’m surprised the put “No” for continue on the right side. Most people are right handed, and most people will want to continue. Should switch “Yes” to the right side.
I think the solution is to make real personal ordnance work from a touch screen. That should help the realism.
But I guess this is as far as the game developer can do… I love Time Crisis on my Playstation and on iPhone. Perhaps, someone can come up with a bluetooth gun to use on the iPhone??
