Playstation 2 Light gun
Feels just like the Arcade Guncom gun on TIME CRISIS ARCADE GAME
I purchased this playstation 2 light gun this past January. I could have never been happier! This gun is the best, and not only is this light gun great, they are selling it at a great discounted price brand new!
Its great because its compatible to not just for the playstation 1,2, and the PS-One, but also compatible for your personal computer, except it will not work if your computer has an LCD flat panel monitor, I already tried it.
Yes, the gun looks cheap looking and light, but it works great, regardless if it is mass produced from China. China is becoming like Japan was back in the day. Now its China's turn.
Don't pay so much for the Guncom 2, when this light gun works just as good and it has more button options and configurations then the Guncom 2.
More a seller gripe than product bash
Has a lot more buttons on it than I was expecting (only expecting a reload button and trigger). So that was a happy surprise. But, although the item I bought was labeled as 'brand new', I can only shoot to about 70% of the tv screen. No matter what I do (short of taking it apart), I can't seem to fix that, which has diminished desire to play any of my guncon games.
It's A Good Alternative..
The instructions on the box are in reallllly broke english, so I'd prepare myself for that...
It's orange like the GunCon2 (GC from on out) and the B button is placed at the end of the shaft instead of above the trigger and on the shaft like the GC. The C button is at the bottom of the gun like the GC although it's about 1/4 the size of the GC's. The directional pad is also placed in the same location as the GC's, which is closer to the thumb.
Flip the gun over and you'll see that the Select & Start buttons are located together above the trigger and on the shaft. Much like the A button's location on the GC. On this gun however, the A button is in four spots instead of one (I'll get to the third and fourth later). The first spot is on the grip of the gun which is a little tricky to use and the second spot is at the end of the shaft.
Now for the gun's unique features. The gun has two switches on it's shaft, alongside the A button. The first switch is used to select from Normal, Auto Fire, and Auto Reload + Auto Fire mode. The second switch is used to select between GunCon2, GunCon, and Normal operating mode. In the same location as the C button, there are two other things. A switch for vibration and another hole for a pedal add-on which is another A button. I can confirm the vibration works well. The gun slightly shakes at the grip of the gun where your hand is located and it shakes every time you pull the trigger, but not when you hold it down, so don't expect it to constantly shake when Crisis Zone is played. Also, make sure to plug all the included hookups in if you wish to play with the vibration...
Lastly, the gun has a little pump feature on it which is basically ANOTHER way to reload with the A button. Instead of pushing A or B, all you have to do is pull the pump back.
Overall, I'd say this gun a good buy for the money and a worthy comp to the GC.
