Would be fun to use with a few beers in me, but a controller would still be my preference. Wouldn't mind seeing some shooting games to go along with it like House of the Dead.

Lol it looks OK but I can see it being up to £100 just for that and I might be more interested if the guy didn't talk to the camera like we were all babies...

Might consider buying it. I'm willing to purchase any accessory that markedly increases my accuracy ratings. And since this is the only gun available for the Xbox, why not? Though I do admit, it does look pretty stupid.

there have been no gun peripherals for the 360 to this point for a reason, just because the fcc has approved this doesn't mean microsoft will, i doubt you'll ever see this being sold as a 360 peripheral.

I agree. this works better with beer and casual games like house of dead.

Lol it looks OK but I can see it being up to £100 just for that and I might be more interested if the guy didn't talk to the camera like we were all babies...

Doesn't this thing kinda outdo move and kinect? Seriously.. you can actually use this, aim, and still control your guy like normal? I'm not a fan of motion controls but if I was to get into them, i'd prefer something like this then move.. Yes it looks ridiculous. Still looks better then those tiny pistol things you get with the wii.

I'm saying pass on this thing. Those guys looked ridiculous with it, besides I could use that money for another game instead of a piece of plastic.

[QUOTE="Black_Knight_00"]"The Start and Select buttons correspond to the Start and Select buttons" I see the light now..

All I heard when he talked was "I am a robot that reads the script as terribly as possible"... All I know is that the gun is one of the fugliest things I have actually seen. I am cool with motion control and what not, but the design looks so lame

Wait...... The gun is is fully equipped for the gaming industries latest high end titles. Then why do we have a picture of Medal of Honor from like 1997?

And obviously the guy speaking can speak English extremely well. How does he not realize some of it just isn't good? "You can the play games with MAG GUN and enjoy stimulus and joy of the game" I am sure you will joy of the game all the time with MAG GUN.

Ok so I am done criticizing this thing. It does look like works, but I couldn't see myself using it.

Yeah, also: he says it's designed for all the hottest shooter games on the market: Call of Duty, Battlefield, Gears of War, Halo and... Avatar?

WTF?

The only really good gun controller was the G-Con45. Ah, those were the days; playing Time Crisis. Or Point Blank. Or Point Blank 2.

Wii already has something that may be arguably better... an smg replica.

a

Full wiimote and nunchuk, retail at $10 less than buying each seperately.

I agree. it looks better then holding 2 wands in your hands on the PS3 motion.

I wouldnt use it for online multiplayer but it would be fun for games like house of the dead, res evil or other rail shooters.
