Anyway earlier in the week I completed Portal 2 (see earlier blog for views: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/nutta27/challenge-acceptedwell-kinda-erm-re-accepted/30-81318/ ) , the next game on my list was The Shoot. 

 

For people who don't know The Shoot is an on rails shooter for The Move on PlayStation 3. I didn't really expect much from The Shoot. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The career mode is extremely cool. Basically you are on a movie set for multiple action films and you have to work your way through those films shooting whatever is in your way trying to impress the director. This is pretty cool because it allows you to play through many shooting game themes in a single game with a consistent narrative. Some of my favorite "sets" were the mobster one and the under water level. I fucking hated......HATED the haunted house level. It was a pain in the arse shooting the zombies. The targets are also something I find really cool in this game because everything is a cardboard cut out. It just makes the game look amazing.

I have never really been a fan of on rails shooters but The Shoot really grabbed me from the second I started playing. The only negatives I have to say about this game are that there seems to be a slight lag from shot to screen. But that never really gets in the way and is easily gotten used to even though it is a little noticeable.  The game is also very short single player wise but i guess it would be cool at parties, having me and a mate shooting up mermaids and gangsters after a few drinks sounds good to me. 

OK so next. I am going to carry on with Tiger 12: The Masters but I soon expect I will be getting L.A Noir so the next blog will be about either or both of those games.
