I love this gun! It is so much better then anything else out there. In fact, I was working on plans to MOD/build my own gun for the Wii when I stumbled on this little beauty at the now closed Circuit City store. This gun feels right in my hand. It looks pretty cool as well, not like the other guns (cheap plastic feel).
I have logged a lot of play time with this gun so far (playing House of the Dead 2 &3 and House of the Dead Overkill) and find it very comfortable. My one small gripe is that the handle is a little short. My trigger finger and two other fingers fit fine, but my pinky just dangles. This is my only complaint, and reason why I give it only four stars. Yes, I understand it is made with children in mind, but a couple of more inches on the handle and both kids and adults could be a lot more comfortable. That said overall Great product and until there is an actual Wii gun made (like Capcom did for the Playstation)this Nerf gun is the top of the line.

I was looking for a pistol type Zapper attachment for my Wii for other games when I saw this pack at Walmart. I thought it sounded pretty cool, so I picked it up. So far, I have no regrets.
The controller, or more specifically the Switch Shot EX-3, is a rather nice toy all around. The Nerf dart launcher portion fires a single dart at a time with a manual reload. It has decent range and accuracy and I'm generally pleased with it. The barrel can be removed and replaced with a Wii Remote, allowing for use with any game that can use the Wii Zapper peripheral. The back of the gun is exposed with plenty of room for a Nunchuck attachment. The downside is that the gun is a bit front heavy with a Wii remote attached, so long play periods might put a good deal of stress on the forearms. Granted, this can be alleviated by taking frequent breaks, which you should be doing anyway. Durability is an issue, though. I haven't broken mine, but the clasp at the front of the gun feels a little on the weak side. If you pull on the front housing too hard, you would likely break it and render the toy completely useless. Parents, help kids switch the Wii remote and Nerf dart barrel. There's an easy release spring button on the front of the gun, and should release with no resistance.
The game was unexpectedly good. The goal is to shoot targets and Nerf equipped Robots using various virtual Nerf weapons. There are several modes of play, and the game can be quite challenging. I would heed the e10+ rating on this game simply because very young children might not have the motor skills to enjoy the game. The game is fairly fast paced with most of the challenges being timed. There is also something to be said for accuracy. The virtual Nerf weapons react similarly to their real life counterparts, having a parabolic trajectory. This can cause some unusual aiming problems but shouldn't prevent the game from not being enjoyable.
Overall, my only complaint is the sometimes heavily cliched story and the balance point on the gun being too far forward. It is an excellent peripheral and I will highly recommend it to my customers.

loses novelty quickly
started out fun, but gets boring very quickly. we stopped playing it after the 2nd use and haven't touched it since.
Probably ok for YOUNG (5-6 year olds) kids.

No Video Game included
I guess I should have read the description more carefully but for $25 I was surprised that the video game is not included with the gun. Read more

Gift for son
This seems to be a different way to play a game on the Wii. I'm sure my son will like it.

Nerf
I was very unhappy with this item. I thought it came with a game included not just the gun. I would think for that amount of money the game would have been included. Read more
