Wild West Guns (Nintendo Wii - WiiWare)
The Wild West is brought to you in software form on your Wii by means of Wild West Guns. It's exactly what it sounds like it does; the Wild West on the Wii.
So what does the Wild West bring for you? They bring guns. They bring things to shoot with those guns. They bring the option to play with a "pardner" to bring law to the town. They bring six stages (clever because the menu shows them as barrels in a six-shooter). They bring...unlimited ammo (now the six-shooter thing doesn't seem as clever). They bring rehashed stages. They bring...no ending.
Hmm. Makes you want to get a real gun and shoot either your TV, your Wii, your Wiimote, Gameloft, Nintendo, and yourself. And yes, that's 6 things to shoot with our six-shooter cleverness.
It's not that this is a horrible game. It functions properly like any other classic arcade light gun game. It works. There's just not much more in terms of variety. Once you shoot one sombrero, you don't care to really shoot more as they come faster. Once you save a bunny from a vulture, you want to see the vulture eventually get one. Once you shoot a Mexican strapped with explosives, you feel a little dirty for doing it.
So you get to shoot at targets, balloons, animals/varmints, and the other people with guns that are shooting back at you. And your unlimited six-shooter that never has to be reloaded just gives you a shiny badge to shoot and ask questions later. If you didn't score enough points to unlock the next chamber of the barrel, then you just try again at no penalty other than maybe a cramped trigger finger. Although this will make those that aren't the greatest sharpshooters feel good as they can shoot-till-killed.
For 1000 Wii Points, you're probably better off having more fun shooting any other type of gun whether it be BB, paint, or otherwise. It takes maybe 30 minutes to finish everything and probably quicker if you're a great sheriff.
Rated 2 out of 5
