Konami's console port of the Raw Thrills arcade shooter Target: Terror set eyeballs ablaze when it was announced in January. A batch of new screen shots of the light-gun shooter turned Wii Zapper cash-in are set to temporarily blind a new group of unlucky saps in glorious 400 by 280 resolution. It's hard to believe that any game could possibly unseat Target: Terror, but we know that some brave shovelware publisher is going to give the old college try.

Why is everything old, new again? Ummm Broken Pixels anyone?
Are those real people? How will I tell the differnce in reality now! Kill'em all and let god sort them out, I guess.
Oh Christ...it's a throwback to the days of Revolution X ...*shudders*
Pfft, I think it looks like some good throwaway fun.
I can't help but laugh at the golf carts.
I think you mean it's THE best look GAME period. I mean, those graphics are so lifelike those people look like PEOPLE
Man thats like the best game ever. Really though that looks like complete shit. I prefer playing the game that was made on the ps3 in 24 hrs then this.
Omg the best graphics on the wii yet...
In my defense someone would say that eventually :P
It may look like crap, but it looks just like the arcade game ... so, you really can't fault them for a perfect port :P They actually have this game at my local bowling alley.
Oh Wii, how you disappoint.
@SypherDiaz77:
agreed, Broken Pix3ls is the shit.
At least it looks....real?
This game sucked when it came out on arcades....
Time and Wii controls can't fix that
'set eyeballs ablaze'
omg... I am so buying this.
That looks like Eric from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! (or Tom Goes to the Mayor) on the cover when they did that karaoke of Cops and Robbers in Season One of TEASGJ.
The game is real, or is just a funny joke ? ...
ya the people look very life like
All the pipes in those pictures must be where the terrorists store the EVIL!
Um guys. I can't see anymore. Everything went black after those screens.
@TitillatedOcelot: Revolution X made several of my birthdays more enjoyable. We would go to the arcade and play all day. I guess it was the fact that we could use cd's instead of grenades.
Eurgh. What, are we back in the 90s? What's with the "advanced" motion-capped sprites?
You know, when a company like Konami tries something and fails, at least you can respect that they tried. Attaching their name to someone else's failure just weakens their brand name. I mean, they'll never again be able to say, "At least we didn't release Target: Terror."
@TOCATL: Its real. Yes you can be afraid now.
I already am.

Who gives these people money to make this shit?
i feel like this game was on the 3DO...
ouch...that's the bad kind of nostalgia...
I guess since Wii graphics suck, they decided to use cut-out pictures of people and hope people are tricked into thinking their graphics are top of the line slick.
i dunno why everyone is complaining, i think it looks pretty good for a DS ga...oh wait
This could pass as a SegaCD game. Yikes!
The Terrorists are partying like it's 1992.
I thought Cruis'n Wii was the worst.
@Timsobuff74: Oh, I dropped many a dollar in the form of quarters into that machine as well. I had to walk to the arcade to play it too, as I wasn't old enough to drive.
Okay, the first picture makes me think that this is a game about shooting pro wrestlers while they are taking a crap. Does that guy look constipated or what.
sigh....
More games I refuse to let people buy.
Kane and lynch, turning point, conflict denied ops, bullet witch, cruis'n, all those shitty 19.99 wii racing games and now target-terror
Funsies.
I wonder how many more games are going to come out that I'll flat out refuse to sell to anyone.
This reminds me of a time when I thought the graphics in Pit-Fighter were incredible.
@Eltigro: You don't pass terror, my friend. Terror passes you!
Looks like a Sega CD Game.
You know what would be awesome? If Digital Leisure released some of those old American Laser Games lightgun shooters on the Wii.
You know you'd buy Mad Dog McCree Wii, or Who Shot Johnny Rock Wii
I cant stop thinking about Area 51 or Maximum Force.
I would buy this. I'm serious.
Wow. PS3 game of the year!
Maximum force 2.0!
You know what the saddest part of this whole game, knowing that Eugene Jarvis, who created such great arcade games like Robotron and Defender, helped make this pile of crap.
*facepalm*
@suburbancowboy: Pit Fighter was a thing of beauty when it was released. It was so pretty that you would almost forget that the characters only had like 5 moves between them.
Wow, this game is from the same company that produces Metal Gear Solid? Holy crap they have bizzare quality control. This game is sure to lower Konami's overall metacritic score for 2008.
SEGA was right!!! FMV games were futuristic....
@PaulHunter: Konami's just the publisher.
@Gamebrain87: Oh what?! D:
+ Watch video
VR
Welcome to the 90's.
People like the asshole above are why I don't go to Gamestop. BulletWitch is awesome,and allthough Target Terror is shitty,if I want to waste my 19.99 on it,then let me. If I want to hear the neckbeard critique,I'll ask for it.
And BulletWitch is awesome.
@kidnicky: You ever thought that maybe it's just you? Bullet Witch sucks.
Wow, this game looks very realistic, I hope it gets a DS port.
is it me or does it look like a Tim & Eric Awesome Show sketch?
The Wii is the victim of more sub-standard software than any console since the collapse of Atari in the early 80's.
oh god it looks like Lethal Enforcers, only Lethal Enforcers actually looked good because that was 15 fucking years ago!
Bullet Witch doesn't suck and it isn't awesome either. It's a midrange game like Lost Planet that many will enjoy, but will never be a AAA title either. I love Lost Planet, but I don't proclaim it the greatest or awesome or somethign everyone must own. It's fun for the $20 I paid for it.
There's lots of games that get deemed shitty by people that clearly didnt even play the game and I'm positive the person claiming Bullet Witch sucks never played it. Just looked up its review score and decided it was bad based on the fact publishers didnt pay the reviewers enough money.
How a bunch of hte posts turn into hate posts about 8.0 range games when it should be going down the usual 'lol Wii sucks' or 'shovelware no games but Nintendo' type flame war is a mystery to me.
*shakes head* this is a sin
@T3kNi9e: I enjoyed it.
@BohlBERG: Wow, the resemblance is frightening. I knew it looked like something familiar though.

wow that looks soooo bad
@Sherlock_the_Barbarian: Not quite. Go to gamerankings and the PS2 has 39 games rated below 50%. The Wii currently has 5. PS2s lowest is at 32.5%, Wiis is at 37%. The default is 20 reviews to be counted.
If you take the amount of reviews needed to count down to 5 (which is a crazy low number) it turns into PS2 - 120, Wii - 26. With the PS2s lowest title at 16% and Wii's at 17%.
So the Wii still has an extremely long way to go before it catches up to the PS2 in terms of awful games. It's just for some reason we hear a lot more about bad wii titles than we did about bad PS2 titles.
That looks like some sort of Tim & Eric skit. Just the whole crappy 80's TV show thing it's got going.
the "Next Gen" becomes the "Now Gen"
ugh ewww gawd its awful
@TitillatedOcelot: What is this? Russia? If I want to pass terror... damn it, I'm gonna!
In a related note... HOLY CRAP! Lethal Enforcers can't be too far behind. I can't wait. I just hope they have the blue and pink gun pieces so I can my my Wiimote look like my SNES did back in the day.
OMG the Revolution X engine has survived.
Quick tell Steven Tyler he can finally have that sequel he is always dreaming about.
I prefer low-resolution graphics to risking buying a game that requires a dual-layer disc, finding out that my Wii won't play it properly. Ba-zing!
*sigh* Eugene Jarvis, you are now merely mortal in my eyes.
Man the Jaguar makes a comeback!
Wait
