Virtua Cop 3 features a new foot pedal system which invokes E.S mode (Exceeding Sense Mode). When this mode is engaged everything occurs in slow motion. This mode allows you to fight gun battles in super slow motion, allowing you to recognise the bullets fired by enemies and precisely deal with the situations of the battle.
When the E.S. Mode is engaged the value of the E.S. Gauge will decrease. Once the E.S Gauge goes to zero you will no longer be able to use the E.S Mode. Players must shoot down the enemies to build up the value of the E.S.Gauge.
As a extension of the new foot pedal system to the virtua world is E.S. ATTACK (Exceeding Sense Attack). This is a mode that will start automatically at a specific scene and requires you to attack the most effective target within a specific time. You must act accurately and swiftly to succeed, and players can continue to shoot until the gauge goes to zero.
Players will also find that some conventional weapons are not enough to stop the advancing thugs, in such case players can activated the Weapon Change System. You must attack using the most suitable weapons depending on the battle conditions, and you are able to switch weapons by pressing the 'Weapon Change Button'. By pressing the button, players can switch to and from Special Weapon & Original Weapon. Special Weapons will be lost when players shoot civilians by mistake or when attacked by enemies. Also there is a limit of bullets with Special Weapons so use them wisely.
The Main characters are:
Janet (operator)
A new member since the Virtua Cop 2. She is good at profiling (crime psychology analysis). It seems she sometimes cannot get along with Rage due to her obstinate personality. Currently she is in charge of supporting the front line.
Smarty (Jimmy Cools)
Making a clear contrast to Rage, Smarty always has a calm mind and sharp brain. His shooting skill is highest in the office. He also has been famous as a playboy since the previous title (VC2).
Rage (Mike Hardy)
Rage has amazing physical strength and the wild sixth-sense. A hot-blooded man who acts first and thinks afterwards. This sometimes gets him into trouble at the office
