2.0 out of 5 stars One HUGE flaw..., November 27, 2007

While the design of this is really nice -- especially the Nun-chuck grip plug. With such a great thought out design, I can't believe they dropped the ball on a hold down for the WiiMote on the front of the "gun." When you pull the trigger, the front of the Wiimote lift's up out of the gun. While there are two side slot tabs that line up the Wiimote and help hold it in place, there is way too much leverage to the front of the Wiimote and it simply does not stay in down.

Very disappointing!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars cool but with flaws, December 27, 2007

Quite nice to look at, certainly better feeling than using the wii remote for games like the Umbrella cnronicles. Never mind about the A button because most new shooting games (like the umbrella chronicles) will configure controls so that you don't need it.
Never mind about the occasional pop up of the remote from the front end of the "gun". If this happens (mine is new and this doesn't seem to be a problem yet), this could be solved easily with a small rubber band similar to Nyko Perfect shot design (that is what I do preventively).

However I consider the biggest design flaw of this product its trigger which is extremely tight (BIG problem for continuous shooting), it has also very long travel and it is vague.
It's grip is also a little awkward but this may be my feeling.
All and all
(+) Nice shape
(+) Very good nunchuck connectivity (it has an adaptor to the bottom of the grip)
(+) Not very heavy (feels right with the wii remote on)
(-) Awkward grip (not ergonomic)
(-) VERY VERY BAD trigger

2.0 out of 5 stars Cool Idea that doesnt work well., August 28, 2007

It looks good, but that's all there is. The gun is bulky and makes it difficult to play games. You still need to access the button on the remote which now lay on top of the gun. Because the gun is so bulky, one can no longer reach the buttons atop the remote, which you need to in order to change guns and for other game functions, with the same hand that holds the gun. (I have average finger length and needed to use my other hand to reach the remote buttons. This doesn't sound bad until one considers the fact that for most WII shooters a nunchuck, which is held in the other hand, is required. Pushing buttons on the remote/gun with the nunchuck is distracting and ruins the game experience.
