Best Wii Gun December 20, 2007
179 out of 184 found this review helpful

I own the product (unlike the other reviewer) so let me tell you that this is the Wii gun peripheral that has set the standard as the highest in it's class. The Zapper is plagued by it's design to be held with 2 hands to shoot, while this gun can be held with just one hand and you have the option of plugging in the nunchucks for games that require it. When testing the game with Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, it is very easy to aim with and the game feels much more fun with the gun (in my opinion this is how Resident Evil:UC was meant to be played). The remote slides in and it is held in place so you don't have to worry about the remote slipping off. For those wondering, there is no slot for the nunchuck (like the Zapper) only a slot for you to connect it so that you can hold onto it with your other hand. It feels like your holding a real gun and it has a sturdy feel to it (of course the color scheme might not represent a real gun, but guess that's a minor drawback and really I think the color scheme is fine as it matches with the Wii). Also this is priced fairly when compared to other guns available and the other guns are not as good as you can tell from the reviews (exception would be the Zapper since it does come with a game).

I recommend this to anyone who doesn't have a Zapper yet (or for those who have a Zapper and is looking to upgrade or is in need of another gun for multi-player) and has the following games: Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles or Ghost Squad and any upcoming games such as House of the Dead 2 & 3 and/or any shooting game supporting the Zapper (not recommended for any other games such as Metroid Prime 3)

Note: The gun features a spring kick back (which is non existent in the Zapper). This feature is important as you can fire more rapidly. Before putting your remote in make sure you take off the wrist strap as it will not fit. Not recommended for game play sessions over 1 hour as your trigger finger will get tired.

Update: Any games that are compatible with the Zapper will use the 'Z' button on the nunchuck instead of pressing 'A'. For those wondering this does not mean you can play Resident Evil 4 or Metroid Prime 3 with the Perfect Shot as it is not "Zapper Compatible" (please check the back of any game box to make sure the game is Zapper compatible or not).

AWSOMENESS December 27, 2007

This is the best Light Gun Shell I've ever used. Works great with Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Ghost Squad, and even Link's Crossbow Training.

This shell is much more comfortable than the Zapper (I own both), you can use it with one hand easily, and you have a more free range of motion since there isn't a big thing on the back of the gun to hold a nunchuck, it just can plug into the bottom of the gun (The Zapper may be better for some games, in the future, but for now I'm sticking with this).
It was built to work with the Nyko rechargeable batteries, so I don't have to take off the grip/battery cover and risk having the remote shutting down or change to regular batteries and waste those, which is needed with the zapper.

The only thing I noticed that some people may consider a problem, is that there is no way to use a wrist strap unless you physically modify the gun yourself.

Great Gun for the Wii December 27, 2007
17 out of 17 found this review helpful

The only game I've been able to use this gun on is the target game that is on the wii play disk.

This is a great gun. The spring used for the trigger is perfect. The gun has a great feel to it and once the remote is added the weight of the gun feels good.

My only complaint is the fact that you have to take the wrist strap off to insert the remote. This isn't a big deal, but I think that NYKO could have created a small or hole that allowed the wrist strap to slide through. This will not be a big deal for most users as most guns have this same issue.

Overall.... Great Gun.

Finally a great Wii accessory! January 5, 2008
15 out of 15 found this review helpful

While playing Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, I noticed my wrist began to cramp after extended play. It was due to instinctively holding the Wiimote level like a gun, placing my wrist at an uncomfortable awkward position.

So when I saw the great review of this gun accessory on IGN, I bought two. They are great and make playing the game feel more fun. The Perfect Shot grip feels good in hand, although since I have a hand on the smaller side, my hand starts to cramp after a while. When playing Resident Evil: UC, nunchuk goes into your left hand and controls the knife (by shaking the nunchuk). If you were playing with the Wii Zapper docked in the back, you would have to awkwardly shake the entire gun to slash your knife. Not ideal.

If you have Nyko's rechargeable batteries in your Wiimotes, the Perfect Shot fits them snuggly (unlike the Guitar Hero III shell). You will be forced, however, to take off the wrist straps.

This accessory looks and works great and makes sense. This is what the Wii Zapper should have been. (However I understand that if Nintendo made it look like this (like a real gun), they would have taken a lot of heat from activists. They still took some heat for the Wii Zapper's tommy gun look).

Excited only to be let down February 9, 2008
15 out of 26 found this review helpful

I ordered this item after having used the Wii Zapper and not exactly liking that you shoot with your less dominate hand using the Zapper. That and having to use both hands is a bit of a turn off.

I figured the Perfect shot would be more accurate and realistic. I have owned and still own Nyko products and have never had any problems. Until this item. Which with such great reviews i can only hope i got a lemon!

Pros: (and reasons i was excited)
-The one handed concept
-Solid build
-Easy to follow instructions (though they didn't work)
-Compatiable with any game that uses the zapper
-Had no problem with Trigger, though no spring easy to fire at fast pace

Cons:
I've used the zapper like i've said, which takes mere seconds to put together and get started. But for some reason this gun...wow what a pain! It took nearly 10 minutes (when it looks like it just slides in) because while i was trying to get the Wiimote in, the side slits that should allow the wiimote to slide in were no such help. It took sitting down, really concentrating on it to put it in. It's such a tight fit and when you finally get it down and go to click it into the plug thats located in the back of the gun slot it won't always go. I felt like i was going to either break the Wiimote or the gun.

The angle that you have to put the Wiimote in seems too steep. Getting the wiimote out was easier, but i still felt like something was going to break. I could actually hear the plastic moving and cracking (not to the point of breaking) while trying to fit the Wiimote in and out.

I'm sure there must be a technique for both getting it in and out, but the easy to follow instructions did not help. Plus i had to take the wiimote strap off because i couldn't snap it in with that either, i'm assuming it's a must do to use it.

I hope that it's just a lemon (not sure how, but i can hope to ease my mind) but as for the function of the gun and it's use, it was for the most part flawless. Once forced into place it shot fine, but it just wasn't what i was hopeing for.

The plugs worked, i like that you plug the nunchuck into the bottom, but i think the design needs to be worked on. I could actually wipe away scrapings of the wiimote side where the gun had dug into it.

I gave it 2 stars because though it worked, i don't want to use it for fear of breaking my Wiimote. Also for the fact that it scratches up the Wiimote (to the point of digging into it).

I wouldn't buy it again.
