There, they meet unlikely allies, and dangerous villians. The story pits you as either VSSE Agent Alan Dunaway or VSSE Wesley Lambert (it's up to you!) as they are tasked to investigate and destroy a nuclear weapon threat from an organisation called the Zagorias Federation, who have invaded and taken over the small fictional Mediterranean country, Lukano.
The game can be played with either a standard controller or the light guns G-Con or G-Con2, and offers two player co-operative mode on Arcade Mode, either on the same console via split-screen or two different consoles using a system link cable. It is the first out of the series to offer a weapons system that allows for the player to switch weapons within a firefight, and also for the first time of the home versions of Time Crisis, an additional story mode, following the character of Alicia Winston and offers her perspective of the story of Time Crisis 3.
Time Crisis 3 for the arcade and Playstation 2 is a on-rails light gun based arcade game.
