ugh

The coming.

Might buy at 30, will buy at 20.

Will rent at free.

If the game doesn't have a calibration option for line-of-sight aiming like Ghost Squad and HotD have, then there's zero chance of my purchase.

Why would anyone spend forty bucks on this when they could get HotD for twenty or less?

someone who already has those other games and can't get enough light gun goodness that is who.

Umbrelly Cornicles worked, but only as a gimped RE4, a Wii IR pointy violence game, not a lightgun game.  No calibration means it hardly functional with line-of-sight play with Zapper clone shells, and you can't remove the targetting reticules from the screen.

Target Terror? More like TURDet Terror, AMIRITE?

Stop offending Kairon, he may ban you.

I'll actually buy this later on this weekend PROVIDING initial impressions don't reveal some glaring technical flaws and whatnot.  I want more lightgun games for Wii, already own all the ones so far, and am not crazy enough to buy multiple copies of other ones.  Thus, my path, and hopefully enjoyment, is clear.
