WILD WEST SHOOTOUT (Wii)

Wild West Shootout is a rail shooter from Zoo Games. It’s a pretty straightforward game; a player or two can pull out their Wii Zappers (or just use the controller bare, of course) and shoot their way through twelve levels of Wild West-themed fun. High scores and achievement-style accomplishments attempt to breathe some life into what is otherwise a bare-bones and easy game but, because of the aesthetics and overall lack of gameplay nuance, there isn’t much reason to return to the game after one time through. Actually, there isn’t much reason to recommend this game to begin with.
