it is very good, much more depth and longevity than any of its ilk, whilst keeping it fun and interesting the entire time. a lot of people complained about the sometimes super small weak points, i love them! really gives some challenge and something to aim for (pun intended) beyond just going trigger mental

ive put 14+ hours in and i havent finished it or got all the guns yet. great stuff. id agree with the 90% if im playing with a friend, its more fun then. id give it 80% or a little more on its single player merits

I'm getting this for christmas next week, can't wait. A real pity I only have one zapper, the other person will have to make do with a combo

I'm surprised how much I enjoy the zapper, hearing all the negative talk had me not expecting much, but it really is a sturdy half decent shell. How'd you get two of them?

This makes me unhappy. I love gun games! One of my fondest gaming memories is of Config and I finishing House of the Dead 2 in Cité Europe in Calais, back in 1998. Both of us were dressed in corporate wage-slave gear, our shiny heads and flying ties making us look like we were employees of the International Contract Agency. This memory is perhaps rose tinted. While my baldom his long established, Config may have had flowing locks in the style of Vincent Vega, and I certainly didn't have a barcode tattooed on the back of my head in those days. We were pumping 10Fr coins in from a huge pile we had amassed for the purpose, determined as we were to complete the game.

But since moving first to an RPTV, about seven years ago, and then on to projectors I've had to forgo them. This has caused me considerable emotional distress. Though this distress is mitigated somewhat by being able to play Ratchet and Clank at 120 inch.

So when I heard of the Wii Zapper and RE:UC, I was excited, perhaps inappropriately so. I resolved immediately to get a Wii. But then I heard about Time Crisis 4 and the Guncon 3, and it also turned out that Wiis were considerable rare, and overpriced in the UK this Christmas. So I decided to wait for TC4, which was slated for a pre-Christmas release.

Now RE:UC is here, and it's great, and TC4 is still several months away. I WANT A GUN GAME!!!11!1ONE1!ONE

I suggest to redo your trip to france then. And get yourself a french Wii with RE:UC at 249,99 euros. it seems on the continent there isn't a supply problem. There was a Super Mario Galaxy shortage here in Belgium though.

Whoa, how do you know I was in France? Oh, you mean in 1998 ;-) I was in France last weekend, to see Vanessa Paradis in Lille. I thought you somehow knew that.

I went to Cité Europe, and tried to buy a Wii, but they were all sold out. Just a short hop from England, so it should have been no surprise, but I didn't think. I bet f I'd tried to buy in Lille I would have got one.
