I hope that the inevitable sequel will improve on the series' formula, just as this does over its predecessor, but as it stands I recommend forgoing this experience and playing with actual Nerf toys in real life instead."
Ex: Toys R Us is hosting a two day sale that includes deals and specials on video games that includes all three versions of Halo: Reach, the Nintendo Wii and some ridiculously low prices on Tony Hawk: Ride and DJ Hero. These deals end on September 25 though so if you better grab them quick if you are interested.

"Ok, let's start by defining our brand."
"Really? Because you know we've been cranking these things out under the Nerf brand for quite a few years. Don't we have a pretty solid understanding of the appeal and target segments for the brand?'"
Amazon had discounted Nerf N-Strike Elite bundle for Nintendo Wii to under $40. This is $20 below retail and the lowest price available at this moment by $10. Bundle includes Nerf N-Strike video game and Nerf Switch Shot EX-3 Blaster that's compatible with this and many other shooting games for Nintendo Wii.
