[quote name='Esoteria']The gun has a button on the back that acts as the pedal. TC gameplay remains the same, so you'd end up using that a lot.
Anyway I'd go for this for $30 but if any of you guys have looked at the gun... I just don't know. An offset foregrip? I know why they did it (buttons, joysticks, etc) but I'd rather have a larger handgun that actually... looks like a handgun or a short shotgun and shoots as such. It's sad, but the gun design, however good Namco's intentions, kills it for me.[/quote]
This might be strange, but I do not find myself using the front grip at all unless I am playing FPS mode. You do not need any of the buttons on the front of the gun for Arcade mode. I think for $30, this game is a steal. I really hope Namco starts capitalizing on light gun games. I doubt it will happen though given the (relative) commercial failure of Time Crisis 4. But how awesome would it be to have Point Blank or the older Time Crisis games on PSN or in a special compilation? It would also be awesome if Sega got in on some of that action (like Virtua Cop or House of the Dead). Oh well.
