My quest for the perfect gun range game continues with the iPod Touch/iPhone game GunShot. I’m looking for a game that gives me the look and feel of a real gun range, re-sized for my iPod. Something that provides the same kind of fun I have shooting holes in pieces of paper. In that respect, GunShot misses the target. It’s an OK way to practice but it doesn’t really have the wow factor yet. It costs 99 cents – about average for an iPod game. And it has a lot of things that some of the other gun games don’t have.
The playability of this game is very high (maybe too high) because it is so (too) easy to hit the target. Some of the good things about this game are that you can choose from 3 guns, a shotgun, a handgun, and a rifle. Then you get and unlimited supply of bullets (unrealistic, but what the hey). You can choose from six targets, or you can upload any photo you may have on your device. The target is stationary – which also makes things easier. Tap on the screen to both aim and fire. I’d rate the graphics as “good.”
In my oppinion you get what you pay for. I dont know what they were thinking when they made this game but I do know what I am thinking right now. “BORING!” GunShot is unfortunately a snooze-fest on wheels. No wonder iTunes gave it 3 0ut of 5 stars. So my search for the perfect shooting range game continues. Sigh…
