The Shoot - Fun on the Rails + PS3 Sharpshooter !!

Let me start this review saying that I picked up The Shoot on clearance at Target for $9.98 and it was well worth that.  The Shoot is a classic arcade rail game that you just point and shoot with the PS Move controller.  The basis is a bit simple, you are the star actor and go around shooting whatever comes at you without hitting the "civilians".  The director yells "encouragement" to you why you go through the levels.  The levels are simple.  Let me stress this game is for casual and trophy folks only.  Do not pick this up and expect the depth of Killzone 3 or Resident Evil 5.  There is no blood so the kids can play and everyone can see how accurate the Move is.  The graphics are fine the director gets annoying 10 minutes in.  Despite some of the flaws I found myself having some fun.  In some parts you have to duck to take cover and others you have to dodge knives and other objects thrown at you.  I was into it.  There are some power ups that include slowing time down, a shot that kills most enemies on the screen and one that allows you to go Rambo and not having to worry how many shots you fired.  Accuracy does come into play it is not  just how many times I can fire on the screen.  The "draws" are a bit hard to get used to ("draw when he pulls his gun" is more difficult then it should be).  The game is average and if you can find it for $15 or less this is fun distraction before you "move" onto your next game. But stay away at full retail....

Grade - C (one of the best clearance games I have bought)

Also this week I purchased the new PS3 Sharpshooter gun.  This is easy to use and a blast to play with.  The set up is simple and buttons light when the pieces are put together correctly.  Some would argue it is a little heavy with the Move wand and analog stick in it but after trying the Killzone 3 demo with it I was hooked.  You will like the pump reload to give that slight sense of realism.  I am not a FPS guy.  I do not own any FPS shooter games.  As a matter of fact I was upset the end of Ninja Gaiden 2 because of how much you had to rely on the bow and arrow.  The gun is the best "gun" I have used since I was Duck Hunting some 20 years ago on the NES.  At $40 its not bad but if you want to wait there is supposed to be a Socom 4 pack that includes game and gun. This gun dusted off my PS Move

Grade - A
