What's the best lightgun for the wii?

[kyo_244]

Hey guys, hope this hasn't been asked before.. (did a wee search but couldn't find anything..) What's considered to be the best lightgun for the wii.

Planning to get HOTD Overkill, RE chronicled + Dark Chronicles, and perhaps dead space (the wii version) if its any good. Was originally just going to take the plunge and get the official zapper but I've been hearing some negative comments about it being flimsy or awkward for realoading etc.. Can I have your comments please?

Ta!

For me, it's got to be between the Nyko Perfect Shot & the Sega HOTD Overkill Hand Cannon.

The Hand Cannon is a solid and very well made bit of kit, but can take it out of your wrist with prolonged use, so maybe the Perfect Shot edges it. Don't know how easy/hard they are to get these days, though.

I have a hand cannon for sale http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/showthread.php?t=100223
Pretty solid bit of kit.

The best two Lightgun games on the wii are Dead Space and Ghost Squad. Personally I dont like the RE games much, they are very unfair and not much fun IMO.

Personally I wouldnt get a lightgun, all the wii gun games are really designed for the remote/nunchuck combination, the only ones that work well with a gun are the house of the dead games really, and even then youd still have as much fun with the remote.

Don't think I agree with that. Ghost squad works by aiming down the gun. It's much better with the gun than without.

"Hand Cannon" - it can't be just me that has a snigger when I read that.

Well I only have the Hand Cannon, I suppose Ghost Squad might work better with the Zapper, Its just awkard and virtualy impossible to actualy play well with the Hand Cannon becuase of the button layout.

Ghost squad is actualy designed to play with the Crosshair on as well, the only reason youd remove it is if you wanted to get more points, which isnt that big a thing to me, so its more fun with the remote anyway IMO.

Always reminds me of this:



On-topic: I find that the Perfect Shot does a better job of balancing the weight of the Wii remote than the Hand Cannon does.

Thanks for the input. Some mixed comments there.. Still not tried any, though smouty's hand cannon should be on its way to me now! :-)

What about the actual zapper? Is it as bad as people are saying? Does look ugly and childish I must say.

And what about this buck shot lock and load? Looks awesome and has had some really good comments.. but maybe a bit too much?
