Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack for Wii Reviews by Gamers

One shouldn't expect a great (or even good) game from this collection. What one should expect is a slice of video game history, a snapshot of a time when companies were trying to figure out what the next big thing in gaming was going to be, and when the public was wowed for at least a short time by new technology (anyone remember Sega's hologram arcade game, Time Traveller?)

The game, formerly a laserdisc-based arcade game, operates like Dragon's Lair; for the most part, you have to go through, keep getting killed, and memorize where to shoot next time. It IS possible to get the draw on the first try, but not terribly likely as the stages progress. The cheesy acting is just icing on the cake for being so absurdly comedic. For those of us who lived through these times, this is a great nostalgic trip worth a few hours of playing.

If nothing else, I hope this brings us one step closer to having a modern port of the game Night Trap, or maybe at least Gallagher's Gallery.
