Game Info

Publisher: Konami

Developer: Leviathan Games

Genre(s): Light Gun Shooter

Players: 2

ESRB Rating: M (Mature)

Release Date: April 22, 2008

Summary

Originally an arcade game created by legendary designer Eugene Jarvis (Defender, Robotron: 2084, and Cruis’n series), Target: Terror puts you in the place of an elite anti-terrorist agent who is charged with protecting the U.S. from all terrorist activities. With a full scale assault spanning the entire U.S., this is your chance to show terrorists who is in charge. Eliminate the seemingly endless waves of enemies with an assortment of high-tech weapons you have in your arsenal. Utilizing the motion sensing controls of the Wii Remote, there is a seamless transition of the arcade’s light gun to the Wii. The arcade experience is enhanced when used with the Wii Zapper peripheral to provide total immersion in the game by replicating both the arcade light-gun as well as the elite, tactical weapons used by that anti-terrorist agent. [Konami]

GameDaily

Target: Terror is an awful game, a title reminiscent of the old-school "shoot-at-bad-actor" gun games.

GameZone

Aside from the iffy framerate issues and the super bad video that would feel right at home in the 1990s, Target: Terror is one of those quirky novelties that are somehow way too much fun to pass up.

Cheat Code Central

With only ten levels and no multiple pathways, the game is fairly short on content. You will most likely only play this game for three to five hours, making the forty-dollar price tag seem way too steep to consider it for a purchase. Still, the game can be a lot of fun.

Game Informer

Much like an American Ninja or Iron Eagle movie, if you see Target: Terror in the bargain bin, pick it up for a laugh. For the full price, however, get your shooting fix elsewhere.

Game Chronicles

And while the FMV movies are definitely worth checking out – if only to laugh at their ridiculousness – it is not worth plunking down $40 for.

Armchair Empire

As with any game of this strife, the two-player mode elevates the experience. Arguing over who should get the machine gun, flame thrower, freeze gun, or extra health makes Target: Terror feel okay -- not mind-blowing, merely tolerable.

This fun mockery of a bygone age becomes nothing but a regrettably cumbersome slog. [July 2008, p.120]

Here in our dimension, though, Target: Terror came out to today’s arcades: empty, lifeless places full of the damned and people who just don’t know any better.

Target: Terror is one of those games that's so bad, it's almost...almost better than bad. If you're willing to surrender to the surreal goofiness of it all, it's good for a few laughs. Just toss your values out the window and gear your mind down into shooter mode.

IGN

Yes it’s one of the worst games on Wii as far as tech goes, and yeah, there are countless other light gun experiences out there that’ll destroy this one in terms of pure gameplay, but damn if this isn’t fun in its own, seriously crippled way.

Nevertheless, Target Terror is here and if you buy it, the Terrorist have already won.

You'll have more fun laughing at this light-gun shooter than playing it.

Worth Playing

Any player who acquires this game should seek psychological help, as the title has managed to avoid having any redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Only pick this up if you're the sort of person who buys supermarket own-brand bog roll and enjoys the rough sawdust texture.

Target: Terror could be in the running for most pathetic game of the year and I think thats what the developers were shooting for.

Game Revolution

Every other rail shooter that’s been released for the Wii is better than this one. Target: Terror is unnecessarily difficult and every bit as hollow as it is ugly.

The best buying advice I could offer is to pick the game up from the bargain bin in a few months, along with copious amounts of liquor (if you're of age), and throw a Target: Terror party.

NGamer UK

An utterly terrible shooter which will, if nothing else, satisfy your recommended daily allowance of mirth...and pvc hotpants. [July 2008, p.68]

Gaming Target

But with boring gameplay and dated graphics, nothing's worth fighting for in this budget-like game at a non-budget $40 price. It’s not even worth the quarter it costs in arcades.
