Wii Zapper..... sucks?!

[Thingding]

Lovely solid piece of plastic. I could beat this against the bar all night and not break it. But it actually makes games harder to play!

If you want true 1:1 aiming from your pointer (which we all know the machine is capable of) then forget it. Not this time, hombre. You'd have to sellotape the sensor bar to the middle of the screen to get that.

Crossbow Training, the game it comes with, has a calibration tool built in to let you compensate for the fact the sensor bar is above/below the telly. But it must be built for 14" tvs or something because it only goes half as far as you want it to.

I read that Ghost Squad has a much better tool built in but the game is way short. And Umbrella Chronicles is meant to have no calibration at all. Nothing at all?!

Once again the Wii fails to live up to its potential. When will developers figure it out?!
