The story mode of Razing Storm is criticized for being extremely short and lacking depth, with many reviewers noting that it feels more like a series of arcade-style missions than a cohesive narrative. While the gameplay is enjoyable, particularly with the move controller, the overall plot and graphics are considered subpar, leaving players disappointed in the storytelling aspect. Many users express a desire for a richer narrative experience, especially compared to other light gun games.
- “It is advertised as 3 games in one, but really there is more as Razing Storm includes an arcade mode, story mode, and sentry mode, each of which has completely different gameplay.”
- “First of all, this is great fun—Time Crisis just with a futuristic twist. You fight against mechs, soldiers, and so on with a machine gun. The only really bad thing about this game is that it's very short; it took me like 20 minutes to clear the story.”
- “Good game, even got the parents involved with the pistol and everything. It's a good social game, but for story mode, you need 2 people.”
- “Es macht zwar einen riesen Spaß mit dem Move-Controller böse Kerle zu eliminieren, aber die Story ist lahm bis nicht vorhanden.”
- “Der Storymodus ist extrem kurz.”
- “The 'story' mode is not really a story at all; the graphics are really bad too.”

While players appreciate the arcade-style experience at home, they express disappointment in the overall graphical fidelity, especially when compared to other light gun games available on different platforms.

- “I have almost all light gun games on the Wii, but was looking for a richer experience on this PS3 game, expecting more story in the story mode and certainly better graphics.”
- “All three games are mostly arcade versions (Time Crisis 4 has even poor graphics), which you can play to the end in half an hour or so.”
