Hardcore fans of on-rail shooters, won't gain too much from this title. It's more for the younger crowd, thanks to its less violent style and Nerf influence. Kids will enjoy the action, but more mature audiences should stick with House of the Dead or Dead Space: Extraction for their light gun fixes, as they're much more action packed. Nerf N-Strike Elite will still provide light-hearted fun for all ages though, and the included Nerf gun is both a nice accessory and toy.
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.
Gaming Nexus writes: "This brings us to EA's NERF N-Strike Elite, a hybrid package containing a NERF gun and a Wii game. With my experience in the world of marketing, I can easily imagine the thought process at the table:
"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.
