Everythingis coming to the iPhone, isn’t it? And while some of it is good lately, I kind of wonder about aTime Crisisport. I mean, isn’t the charm to have a gun in your hand and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your partner?
Well, this time around, your “gun” is your finger. InTime Crisis Strike, you tap to fire. That mechanic worked fine forSilent Hill:The Escape, but somehow it seems less cool inTime Crisis. I suppose that the tilt-to-duck mechanic ofStrikeis pretty nifty. The press release says that you’ll also tilt to take cover and reload. That could be fun. Or bad.
Time Crisis Strikefeatures two game modes — Arcade Mode and Crisis Missions. In Arcade Mode, players move through multiple stages that culminate in a final showdown with the evil Wild Dog. Crisis Missions put players’ sharpshooting skills to the test. On first play, only one Crisis Missions is available; players must beat Wild Dog in arcade mode to unlock the remaining four Crisis Missions.
The game is available now for $5.99 through Apple’s App Store. I suppose we’ll give it a spin (or flick) and let you know how it goes. We’re not expecting much, though.
