Nintendo Wii > Nintendo Wii Shoot 'em Up Games

Advantages: The game play.
Disadvantages: The films take to long.

Redsteel has to be one of the best ever wii games to come out. The game play is amazing furthermore the graphics are mint. The guns and swords fights are great but the only down side has to be the films within the game play because you can't skip the films. However the missions do take about 30 mins but they are fun. Also the body work on the players looks like real life. Even the faces look real life. The down side of Redsteel are the controls because ... Read review

.... 16, if Ghost Squad's anything to go by! Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Ghost Squad, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return... it would seem that if developers want to release an on-rails shooter, the Wii is their console of choice. The latest shooter to get a release on Nintendo's little white box is Sega's Ghost Squad. You play as a member of the Ghost Squad (or Global Humanitarian Operation and Special Tactics Squad ...
...originally as an arcade game, Ghost Squad's port to the Wii has been a great success. To add a bit more bulk to the game, you can unlock new weapons (choose from assault rifles, shotguns, pistols or sniper rifles), costumes, 'party' modes, and multiple routes through each mission with every completion of the game. Considering the game's 3 missions can be completed in about half hour max, it's good to know that nearly every time you play it, you'll ... Read review

Disadvantages: Load times affect pacing, Motion Controls not that great

...game lovers, you remember playing Metal Slug? Well, Metal Slug, Anthology is the release to commemorate a 10th anniversary of the Original Metal Slug, simply by rolling all the 7 different Metal Slug arcades into one, and there we have Metal Slug Anthology. For the MS vets though, there is still that short-but-just about noticeable loading time in the game, and disappointingly, the Wii remote isn't the ideal thing for playing Metal Slug either. ...
...beginning... ------------------------- The first ever Metal Slug story involved the Peregrine Falcon (PF) Squad, a small but skilled team of soldiers serving under the Regular Army's special operations division, who fight against the army of General Donald Morden in order to prevent a massive coup d'etat (overthrowing a government) and the creation of a New World Order under General Morden.

Advantages: Well the Audio presentation is OK.
Disadvantages: Frame-rate Issues - Visual Glitches - Ugly Textures - Dumb AI - etc.

...it coming out, because so far all fps games on my console, the Wii, have been terrible. But when i rented this game, i was immediately glad i had not bought it. The graphics are almost ps1 quality, and there is so much lag and frame rate issues, that even the great controls do not save it. The sound is ok, but still as with everything else in the game, not noteworthy. Oh and why make multiplayer for only two people? I guess that's ok due to the ... Read review
