Over the past few days I have been playing a lot of the Wii’s Zapper games. The light gun attachment for the Wii is a lot of fun to use, and I wanted to make sure I got my money’s worth on the deal. Here are some of the best Wii Zapper compatible games I have bought thus far:
Wii Zapper with Link’s Crossbow Training
Yes! Finally Link gets his name in one of the Zelda games! Ok, this one I didn’t have much choice about due to the fact it came with the Zapper itself but I do have to say it is much more fun than I thought it would be. Having the anticipation that it would just be a demo title showing me “how to use” the Zapper it ended up being an entertaining “pick it up when you have nothing else to do” game.
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
I have been a fan of the Resident Evil series, even though this is my first actual game in the series to own. This game’s controls kind of makes you feel like the Zapper was a second thought (due to the fact you have to move your hand up on top to hit the “A” button a lot. Other than that it is another cool “on rails” shoot’em up that ends up being very entertaining.
Go through some of the historic places from past Resident Evil games and shoot a lot. That is this game in a nutshell.
Now I am not usually a big fan of the Army/Police first person shooter type games but for some reason this one looked as if it might be a lot of fun. I have not gotten to spend much time with it yet but from what I have played it looks great. There are also a lot of side routes you can take so one level never has to be the same twice. Another great thing about it is you change your weapon type up as you go to suit the situation. Tons of fun.
House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return
This title, as the name tells you right off the bat, gives you both House of the Dead 2 and 3 to play with your Zapper.
The voice acting in this game is so bad, it’s good. I’m a big fan of your campy horror movies though. I missed out both of these days the first time around but now I get to finally see what all the buzz was about. You would be amazed how gratifying blowing the head off a zombie really is.
Any More Games for the Wii Zapper?
From what I have seen, only other one I’m missing is some army/war game (Metal of Honor?) but that really isn’t my cup of tea. Know anymore Zapper ready games I should pick up for Wii?
