GameSpot: The Shoot Review

The biggest issue with The Shoot lies in its length. With each of the five movie sets taking only about 20 minutes each to play through, the game can be done and dusted in less than two hours. A two-player mode adds some length to the proceedings, although trying to rack up multipliers means you'll have to coordinate very closely with your partner to make sure you're not shooting at the same targets. The Shoot also has an extra challenge mode that can be unlocked after discovering poster pieces hidden within each movie.

These challenges--one has you hitting moving targets with each miss costing you a "life," for example--are the toughest things you'll find in The Shoot and are well worth digging up for those eager to test their skills. For everyone else, The Shoot presents a few hours of good fun, but there's no need to see the movies on show here more than a few times.

Ps3 is on my christmas list minus Move . I was actually interested in this game and Time crisis but both seem to be getting bad reviews

[JoeReno]

I own both games, and both are alot of fun. I was more hyped for Time Crisis, but I just finished my first play thru of The Shoot, and its good fun, maybe more fun than time crisis... In my opinion

I dont really trust reviews much any more.

[Bell Boy]

Could be they are being reviewed as if they should be giving 10 hours game play.

Surely games like these are designed to be pick up and play fun...and the replay comes from beating scores...you know just like you would in the arcade!

[kaveti6616]

Maybe they're just not fun. I never saw the appeal of Move or Wii or Kinect. Maybe these reviewers are judging the games from the fun factor point of view.

[Bell Boy]

However when you read the reviews rather than the final score they are pretty much unanimous in saying they are fun!!

[sinncross]

I gotta agree Bell Boy.

I think, in reality, a game like TC, for instance, is not really ever going to get more then a 7.5.

If you ask me, the score the shoot has it actually decent enough considering the type of game it is.

[KILLERAPP]

They review this now is been long since the launch of the move, when will kinect review begin to come out???? I know they been ban by MS but does that mean no reviews until the week after it comes out or even longer???

[NoBUDI]

Shouldn't you be asking thing in an article is actually about kinect? Just seems like your comment isn't really bringing anything to the table as far as The Shoot is concerned. Then again, what do I know.

[Imperator]

They review it as if it's a full priced game. it' s just a $40 that's meant to be picked up and played whenever you feel like it.

[NoBUDI]

If I paid 40 bucks for something, I would expect a certain level of quality from it. Below 20 is a different matter

[tunaks1]

just 40?
I got L4d 1 and 2 for 10 bucks

[ELite_Ghost]

yea like 2 years after it came out...

[mac_sparrow]

from the article: "Sometimes, the Move confuses commands, ducking behind cover instead of setting off shockwave, for example"

I've played the demo quite a few times now, and you can actually activate a shockwave from behind cover. Sounds to me like it's just performing two tasks at once and the reviewer didn't think to pull the trigger after the duck happened.

In terms of the review, it's fairly accurate, but light gun shooter games either need to be held to a more arcade focused grading scale, or you just have to accept lower review scores.

I'll be getting both The Shoot and Razing Storm, hoping for Point Blank PSN releases.

Edit: Oh, and a Time Crisis HD collection. That'd be awesome.

The demo was fun.
