I find while the accuracy is reduced. It's more closer to real life. Guns have weight and have to be held, Wiimote(though light) helps to have a steady hand. I find you have to follow shoot with the Wiimote. Police reports that short range gun fights have only 10-20% to hit a target. Mouse accuracy blows this rating out of the water. Mouse accuracy makes the game more fun in regards to hitting. Wiimote shooting has style. *unfortunetly I read this in the Vancouver Sun or Province early this year. I haven't found an internet report to validate the accuracy percentage. So woes is me on evidence this time. |
That 10-20% hit rate could have been pulled out of anywhere, but it's probably not too far from the truth.
Considering the relatively low number of shootings, even in the most gun happy states of good ol' gun happy USA, taking from those the number of shootings commited by untrained/unskilled shooters, the only way you'd be likely to see anyone get hit is to fire off an entire mag. Also figure that most of those shooting probably took place at night, with low light/visibility and it's not easy to see how most of these shooters were probably pointing, rather than aiming.
But comparing aiming with a mouse and shooting with a shoulder fired centerfire weapon, let along a centerfire handgun, is comparable to comparing using a guitar hero controller with playing a real guitar.
I've always preferred light gun games in the past, much like Wii shooters of today with the addition of character movement, but the lack of blast and recoil make them both ridiculously easy to hit with compaired to real fire arms.
Anyway, games are hardly substitutes for reality. An all nighter playing the most intense FPS games still doesn't compare to an hour at the range; it's just cheaper and allows you do to all the crazy things few shooters ever do in a safe, consequence free virtual environment.
