This combo not only had a cool nostalgic feel, but work rather well to give light gun feel. The light gun style section is just interesting enough to keep your attention as experienced player and it has a fun vibe to boot. But the real selling point is that it is well targeted for younger kids and also works well in two-player mode.
Many Amazon reviews mention that people got it for their kids or grandkids and they really enjoyed the game. It also has a fun, youthful vibe and is a great experience for kids — especially with 2-player mode. This third, titled Target Shooting, is really quite fantastically made.
This may sound condescending, but the rail shooter portion is surprisingly substantial and well-made. The only real concession made for newer gamers is the dense iconography populating the screen used to distinguish soldiers from the drab monotonal backgrounds , but this is hardly affects play.
Final Word: The rail shooter mode is pretty decent on its own, and the bundling with a FPS campaign is a new idea used to appeal to a casual gamers which is a neat idea. Aliens have come to Earth and are threatening to destroy humanity by using our discarded waste against us. I told you it was strange. This odd premise acts to establish the energy management system which the rail shooting hinges on.
Blasting a can foe twice will transform it into energy which acts as ammunition for your gun. Since ammunition effectively takes the role of your health, Eco Shooter is a game which demands accuracy and precision, random blasting will only serve to make to squander your progress.
The energy management system is interesting and the pacing makes allowances for players to gather energy, however basic issues plague Eco Shooter. Final Word: A unique shooter which is unfortunately marred by occasional oversights. Has an interesting visual style. Also, On the bright side, there are lots of gun styles and gameplay styles to choose from, which does add a lot to the replay value.
The core criticism is that the technical issues impede significantly on what is a fairly bog standard rail shooter with a low frame rate and common glitches. It seems it would be best to stay away from this budget release. Mad Dog McCree was born in awkward subset of 90s gaming when 3D graphics were in their infancy and developers were experimenting with interactive live video as a way to bridge to realism.
The live action video caught the attention of gamers in the arcade, but it was notorious for not not providing a responsive gameplay experience in a genre that demanded accuracy.
Since it was made for the arcade, you can expect that it will try to milk credits out of you, but Mad Dog McCree often gets a little extreme in this department.
The sequel improves certain characteristics and its a bit more forgiving on its shot processing. The Last Bounty Hunter actually take things a step further in more diverse environments and four different primary enemies to take down. It plays like no other, with the one hit deaths and quick draw style, and looks like no other, with its satisfyingly cheesy cowboy stunt show. However, it is very much an on-rails shooter but with a third-person perspective.
This is the only reason this selection is so far down the list. Star Successor is a follow-up to a Japanese-exclusive N64 classic. Star Successor features excellent, fast-paced shooting action.
Good article. Thanks for the info! Lovely article! I own almost all of those games! Might be worth noting that a few of these — Resident Evil, Dead Space and House of the Dead: Overkill at least — got up-resed releases on the PS3 after the release of the move accessory. It was pretty fun, too. It needs the nunchuk attachment, like the Resident Evil Chronicles games do, for throw grenades and whatnot.
Wii is magic. Keep your eye on the Sinden lightgun which is way better. Attack of the Movies 3D is a title that was missed. Thank you so much for this article, shooting games are my favourite genre and after reading this brilliant piece I have now bought all but 4 of these games. Thanks again Paul.

It also helps that there are multiple solutions for replicating the feel of a real light gun that work quite well my personal go-to was the Nyko Perfect Shot Blessed with a combination of arcade ports and new, forward-thinking titles, the Wii become a haven for traditionally-minded shooting and old school gameplay sensibilities.
The House of the Dead: Overkill Sega have contributed greatly to this list with an upgraded port, compilation and House of the Dead: Overkill, a new, console-exclusive installment in the popular series.
Final Word: Familiar House of the Dead gameplay in a very respectable package. Rayman: Raving Rabbits — had a few rail-shooter levels, which were fairly decent. You have to work through a fair bit of the other content to unlock them, though. WiiWestBang Home-brew — pretty basic formula but light gun game fans should find some enjoyment.

A year ago, we thought the Wii was pretty much done. The console had been on the market for five years. It seemed everything notable had been released already - with the exception of one major adventure starring a certain pointy-eared hero - and most Nintendo fans had already resigned themselves to a status of mental stasis, waiting around for the arrival of Nintendo's next home console.
Well, we're still waiting now — but, thankfully, these past 12 months for Wii haven't been quite as terrible as we feared, with that one major adventure joined by a couple of high profile, epic role-playing games that we honestly didn't expect to see actually released in America. Because of the high quality of that handful of titles, and because there's still plenty of time to go back and experience the best Wii has to offer in these final months before Wii U's arrival, we've updated our Top 25 list of the best of the best from Nintendo's current console.
Read, enjoy, and rejoice that while this past year certainly hasn't been Wii's biggest in quantity of releases, the quality of what we did receive was stunning.
