Many found the game easy to pick up and play, but some experienced issues with the bundle contents and aiming accuracy. A few users reported problems with the game's calibration, requiring frequent readjustments. Overall, the game is considered a fun distraction, especially for its price point.

    Fun game and comes with the gun at a great price. Can’t go wrong with $20.

    The game itself was a bargain bin offering on the Wii, now in HD for the Switch. An on rails lightgun shooter that is unfortunately less accurate than the Wii version. Not bad but completely unnecessary. I would prefer the non HD Wii version due to its more precise motion controls. The zapper that was offered as a free gift isn’t more than a cheap toy. I was hoping it would be a nice shell similar to the Wii zapper or perfect shot. Something that would at least give some kind of tactical sense that you are holding something more significant than the joy con on its own. It doesn’t add to the experience at all as the trigger doesn’t immediately spring back, making the use of the joy con by itself far easier and responsive. It may just be the gun I received but after a few playthroughs, the trigger would get stuck as well. Even at the original discount price for the bundle, it’s not really worth the cost. Wait for a discount if you are curious.

    Game says Martian Panic Bundle which is misleading as you assume it comes bundled with something, like the laser blaster gun controller that this is often sold with. But this does not include the gun, or any kind of “bundle” it’s just the game…

    I just bought this game as a joke, but is pretty hard to play due to it running horribly on the switch. me and my friends had a great time making fun of it. The controls are laggy and the blaster is really just a novelty you can just use the joycons without it and it doesn't take away from the experience.

    Average and glitchy shooter. The retro alien gun that comes with it is a cool collection piece and works with other better shooters.

    I loved playing this game. It reminds me of old school arcade fun. I found myself playing longer than expected trying to shoot the Martians down. So glad I had the gun, which added to the fun.

    Good game overall. Honestly tho, nothing compares to the Wiimote shooting. I wish they made something accurate like that for the Switch
