Shooting games on the Wii can be pretty lame. So how do you spice up your attacks on the populace? By bringing out the Buckshot Shotgun, is how. Just a quick pump and blast and any game gets turned into Terminator 2 style action.
Have I introduced you to my little friend? Actually the Buckshot is a pretty big guy, as in 15 inches or so of mayhem waiting to happen. You get into a game and want the feeling of holding a big weapon that can really cause some damage? Then the Buckshot's for you. It's patterned off of a pump-action shotgun and feels ever so nice in the hand. It feels even better when it's being used to blow enemies into the next block. The guys who make it call it a controller for the Wii. I call it a delivery boy loaded down with bad news.
I got a real sweet tooth for the Buckshot's color - it's a bright chrome
firehouse red (yeh, the same as Iron Man's suit from the first film). It's bright enough to attract attention, but also pretty much negates the reality of it being a real shotgun. I mean, I've been known to carry out the Wii remote to the balcony when the UPS guy comes to toss up a package, and guess that a new guy on the route might freak out if the Buckshot wasn't bright red. Oh - you CAN get it in black should you not care about such things (or more likely, live in a deserted area where walking around with real weapons is pretty much taken for granted). It's better this way and I never cared for those bright red tips they stuck on toy guns to say they were harmless; like somebody with a badge who looks your way if you're dumb enough to pull one out in public is going to scrutinize whatcolor the tip is, rather than responding quicker with deadly force.
So okay, now that I've scared you good we can get back to using the Buckshot for what it was design for - playing games where a big weapon is preferable to some wimp
