Fast Draw Showdown shows up on WiiWare Jan. 5

The first thing I thought when I saw this picture was "Cd-i"

One of the games I would pass by on my way to play TMNT or The Simpsons... it looked cool, but the cowboys never drew me enough to make me want to play it.

didnt collegehumour.com do a "BLEEP-BLOOP" segment on this series of games?

Arguably better than 99% of third party games on the system

I don't know why but I loved FMV games back in the day. I had Double Switch and Corpse Killer on my Sega CD 32X and played the hell out of them.

After further thought...

Maybe I didn't like the games at all and I was trying to justify the fact that I bought all of that Sega equipment... BRAND FUCKING NEW! Yes! I cut so many freaking lawns after school so I could pay full price for crap that Sega supported for mere minutes!

*tears gathering as I facepalm*

Woah, Sega CD flashback.

I played this years ago in a Las Vegas Arcade. It looks pretty bad but it's actually the best (by a long shot) of all the live action American Laser Games and has some good re-playability. The holster mechanic is what made it unique and you literally had to draw and shoot faster than the computer players (never could cheat the system). The first levels are easy but when you get towards the upper levels it gets pretty challenging and the last guy is close to impossible unless your an actual quick-draw professional. Realize that this game is NOT about shooting the bad guys (like all the other video based games) but it's about trying to get that extra 100th of a second off of your draw. That in itself makes this game a rewarding experience. People should give this a chance and not judge it for being a live video based game.

OOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEEEE we gon play sum of this hea iphone pardners!


sorry.

Live action cut-scenes REALLY don't belong in games. Using 2D sprites or 3D models actually shows you put some effort in your game, though.

Buying Mad Dog Mcgree was the biggest gaming mistake of 2009. Yeah, I bought the game knowing it wasn't all that great, but I had played a CDi, I knew FMV games, so I knew what I was getting myself into. Well, that's what I thought, anyway.

Who's seen that movie 'The Room', that Tommy Wiseau vehicle. Well, Mad Dog is pretty much the video game equivalent of 'The Room', except any charm from the bad acting was washed away by the inherent awfulness that is the need to time every shot.

This Wiiware game looks no different.

I honestly think we need more games like this. Since nostalgia is on the rise, why don't they make more games with FMV with actual actors instead of 3D models. I'm looking at you Warner Bros Who owns the rights to Mortal Kombat!!!!

I wrote a better game!

I definitely played that game in a smelly roller rink in the mid 90s. ;_;

Lethal Enforcers!? Is that you?

Okay ... the ending? Yeah, not that great.

People have to realize that these games are reaching people who have played American Laser Games in the arcades. Are they technically good...NO! Are they well made....NO! Is the acting good.....1000 times NO! What makes these games fun is the fact that we remember this junk and we remember wasting money on this junk in the arcades.........and enjoying it! Regardless of how bad these games are they will always have a place on current consoles and won't leave until all the gamers of the arcade generation are dead.
