I got Crime Crackers 2 yesterday (thanks to the brilliant, but probably very costly PS1/PSN games translation thread). It's a bit of an odd one. Basically an FPS, only with Japanese RPG bits grafted on. Shooting things sends little HP numbers floating up the screen, and you have RPG style equipment and items that you can buy from shops, plus RPG type story cutscenes between stages, and the odd bit of anime FMV.
It's quite old fashioned in terms of controls, as it doesn't support the analogue sticks, so you've got buttons to look up/down and sidestep, but it's actually quite good fun despite that, and it means it works well on the PSP too, as it's not designed for twin stick control. Item names are Japanese, but it's generally quite easy to see what they do, and the menus are all English, so it's pretty easy to work out. Not the best game up there, but worth a try if you've got a few hundred yen you don't know what to do with.

Nice one...
I'd been thinking of people perhaps doing some sort of intro/mini review in the other thread to give people an idea of what the games are like.
The original Crime Crackers is on there too but it's listed under their RPG section instead of their SHUMUP section so it may be a little different to the sequel.
