First day with the Wii Zapper.

My accuracy was shot even after calibration, reloading was harder and I missed two bosses, but I somehow got my second best score ever.

Jury out so far.

Today I used the gun I unlocked yesterday, the SAW24. And very interesting it is, too. Unlike all the other guns I’ve used so far, you don’t need to reload it. It’s got infinite ammo. And, to add to the fun, it’s the first fully automatic weapon I’ve unlocked. So, what’s the catch? Well, it overheats. Fire it quickly and your Wiimote will start beeping furiously and you’ll be left defenceless for several seconds.

I think, on the whole, I prefer the guns you have to reload.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve played through this game now. I could check, I suppose.

Anyway, today I saw lots of new bits. They were all good, but the very best thing was a new option to avoid the sniping bit at the start of the third mission and do some more standard shooting instead.

All good fun.

I failed the second boss (you have a single shot which must be a head shot, if you miss, you fail) but managed to defeat the other two. It’s worth noting that all the bosses use weapons given to you at the time – you never use the weapon you choose to take into the game. This is a good thing – especially as today I was using another handgun. The laser sight and 15-shot magazine should have made things easier, but I didn’t do very well at all. The only bit that was really improved by the laser sight was the mine clearing section in the third mission.

At the end I got up to level thirteen and was promoted to Warrant Officer. No new guns or outfits, though.

Used another top-difficulty gun today, but it was far better than yesterday’s pistol. Either that or I’m getting better. I actually beat the first two bosses today (the second boss for the first time) and got to the level three boss for the first time. (I thought the boat at the end of the third mission was the boss. It’s not.)

Apart from levelling up the missions I passed I didn’t unlock anything today, though. My character’s up to level nine now, so I’m guessing I’ll get something for reaching level ten next time I play.
