Target : Terror was one of my most anticipated titles coming out for the Wii this year. Being one of my favorite light gun games of all time in the arcade, I hoping that much in the same way House of the Dead and Ghost Squad received classy and stable ports to the Wii, so would T:T.

Boy was I wrong.

Major graphical problems, horrible hit detection, HORRID IR pointing all equaled me taking the game back a week after I purchased it. I would have thrown it in a fire if I would not have received 15 dollars towards Mario Kart Wii.

Hopefully Raw Thrills will create a Wii Ware version of the game and do it the justice it deserves. Because if ported properly, this could be one of the best party games on the Wii.

I review games for the wii on youtube. To see more of my reviews go to www.youtube.com/wiiviewr.

Kinda dissapointing...doesn't play like a game should on a new game system. I know it's an old shoot-em-up game, which I personally like better than the newer games, but it plays horribly. Sometimes the game doesn't recognize a few shots here and there, and the thing slows down to a crawl every time the screen gets "busy". Almost impossible to play two players. Through about half of every level the game will just dump enemies onto the screen, sometimes 6 or more at a time. You pretty much just have to decide which few you want to kill before getting hit yourself a few times. I like a challenge, but it gets rediculous. After a few levels, it's not even fun anymore because there are plenty of times there is just no possible way to kill everyone on the screen without getting hit several times. I would really be mad if I had paid full price for this, glad I had traded some older games for it. Needless to say this one will get traded VERY soon!

Fun at first, since there are a lack of good shooters for the Wii. It's definitely worth playing, but definitely not worth the price.

I was under the impression that all shooting games were fun, until I played target terror. I own Resident Evil UC, Ghost Squad, and House of the Dead Return and they are all fun. Target Terror, on the other hand is terrible. On the good side the graphics are quite funny and there are various weapons you get in the game that add fun. On the bad side is everything else. When I heard this game had minigames I thought I couldn't go wrong. The minigames in Target Terror are horrible though. If you want to get a gun game for the wii get ghost squad or resident evil umbrella chronicles. They are worth what you pay, but Target Terror is not.

It's not just an amazing game but I've played it quite a bit, especially with other people. I wouldn't play it without the gun adapters you can get for the controllers but with those it's like having Area 51 (with terrorists instead of Aliens) in your living room. Just a fun game to play, nothing special, easily worth the money I paid for it. Probably the best Wii arcade style shooter I've seen.

We found this game at best OK, but nothing at all special with really really really dated graphics and poor gameplay.

We got House of the Dead at the same time, and that is way way way better.

This even at a bargain price isn't worth it. As you won't play it, not matter how cheap, it's not worth it.

It's fun for a while. But it's all the same. you're shooting at bad guys while trying not to shoot the good guys. and thats it. I was looking for something with a story line with objects you have to find and goals you need to meet before moving on. This does not have it.

Target Terror isn't a good game in any way, shape, or form. But it is entertainingly bad in a lot of ways, and it does remind me of those gun based arcade games I played growing up. You won't put a lot of time into Target Terror, but you might pop it in every once in a while when you are drinking with friends and get some serious laughs. I'm glad I bought Target Terror, and I think a lot of people like myself wouldn't regret the purchase either... just as long as they pick it up on the cheap and don't expect too much.

Very simple game and hours of entertainment. Be careful where you shoot in the end.

First off, don't be fooled, this is one of the worst games you will ever play. Your first thought on booting it up may be "This looks pretty decent for an SNES game," before you realize you are three generation away from that system.

Almost everything is wrong with Target Terror. There are about 6 differnet models for enemies and about 6 for civilians, meaning you are shooting the same people over and over and over again. Why have you shot 45 women wearing the exact same leather top? Eh, don't think too hard. Aiming is ok, but reloading seems slow and finicky. Enemies swarm the screen, some hit you as soon as they walk on to the screen, some never will and there is no easy way to distinguish between the two. Sometimes you shoot enemies and they just disappear and reappear again for no other reason besides terrible frame rate. There is no hiding, no strategy beyond just hitting as many baddies as you can. You can also perform such task as shooting out windows to go into bonus games which are excruciating.

So why did I give it a decent score? Because for 9.90 (what I paid), it is fairly entertaining. Mindlessly gory, endlessly stupid, it is what you want out of a lightgun shooter. The acting is awful, to the point where it makes ALG's old "Mad Dog McCree" look like The Godfather. You'll laugh and blast your way through 10 levels and realize you've actually had a good time for the last hour, even though the joy was from watching how awful the game would get. Ghost Squad this isn't. But enjoyable, it certainly is.
