Never played the Wii version so I picked this up becauase I'm a dork who likes weird stuff. It IS weird, but not playable, at the least not playable with the blaster. I love light gun games, but the registration is horrible on Switch. Gyro aiming just doesn't work for a game like this., the IR pointer of the OG was likely much better. It stayed accurate for maybe a few seconds before drifting, I recalibrated multiple times, tried both L and R joy cons and it was unplayable as a result. Shame, because as a hokey shovelware light gun shooter I had high hopes for some mindless fun.

I picked this up for $10 and it's a good port of an old wii game. You'll want the gun joycon attachment for the most enjoyment. Best buy gives it away for free with the purchase of the game a lot, so keep an eye on sales.

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.

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.

Not the best game, movement is a rail system. Could have been so much more.

I wanted something similar to duck hunt, and this is it.
Especially if you get it with the ray gun.
Repetitive, but fun.
