Ownership verified by DX Good, not great

Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Price: starstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: * Great for first person shooters - I've been using it with Call of Duty 5 and even though it's easier to play with a mouse and keyboard the gaming experience is much better with a (plastic) gun
* Good design - based on the original Wii Zapper, this item has carefully placed compartments for the nanchuck cable and mounting the nanchuck and a good grip on the wiimote
* Moderately priced (cheaper than original)

Cons: * Bad packaging - comes in a plastic bag (inside the DX bubblewrap envelope), mine came with a small scrape on one of the corners
* Build quality lacking - the trigger would only fire when pushed upwards not by actual pulling. I solved this problem by sticking a piece of rubber (used for window sealing - comes with an adhesive on one side) inside the gun where the trigger pushes the wiimote's B button for firing. Works like a charm now :)
* Moderately priced (yes it's much cheaper than the original one - which comes with a simple game - but it's still a little pricey for a big piece of plastic)

Other Thoughts: I haven't seen any other complaints regarding the trigger, as opposed to with other Wii guns. Could be mine was just defective, but adding the piece of rubber was simpler than sending it back...

Bottomline: Playing first person shooters on the Wii is generally less exciting than on other platforms because of the poor graphics. However, playing with a wireless gun makes it worthwhile - and as far as guns go this seems to be a fairly decent gun for a fairly decent price.

Ownership verified by DX value for money

Pros: cheapest that i can find still.
works great when playing call of duty 5 on my wii.
i'm able to coil my nunchuk perfectly on the zapper.
looks exactly the same as original.

Cons: didn't came in a box like i expected, came in bubble foam wrap to protect it.
some light marks and stains on it so won't really rate it as perfect build.
could be cheaper and benefit more consumers =D

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: cheapest and most value for money zapper that i can find. great for games that can utilise the zapper but that's all it can be used as.

Ownership verified by DX Nice Zapper!!!
