Should've stayed back in 1990

Mad Dog McCree was an arcade game that came out in 1990, and it tried to revolutionize the shooting genre by putting live action guys for the player to shoot instead of computer generated things.
Problem is, good arcade games don't make good console games.
The Wii version, Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack gives you three games - Mad Dog McGree, Mad Dog II the Lost Gold and the Last Bounty Hunter
But each game plays out the same - they're rails shooters where you have to shoot the bad guys without getting shot or shooting innocent bystanders.
It was thrilling at first to play a live action game, but the excitement wore down because of the repetition.
Now, if the game played fair, then you should get through this collection in about an hour (way too short). But the game's targeting system is off track, forcing me to play the same spots over and over again.
Another thing that annoyed me about this collection is the game makers' attempts to pad out the meager content. I could see the stretch marks as they used gimmicks like difficulty levels and playing the same game with a second player tagging along (you'll have to beat it solo in order to unlock this feature.)
Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack is just too short and too repetitive for me to enjoy - even at $20. SKIP IT.
