    If you have the PlayStation Move, you need The Shoot. It's a great, fun addition to the genre and makes good use of the Move controller.

    In the end, The Shoot is actually one of the better PlayStation Move titles but unfortunately it's plagued by a very short completion time.

    The fresh concept gives a shot in the arm to one of the stalest genres around. [Christmas 2010]

    The Shoot is a stylish rail shooter that both entertain and annoy. The actual shooting works fine, but some other movements are not always recorded as they should. Moreover, it's unnecessarily difficult to unlock the few courses that are available - especially for younger players. Thanks to the nice setting and an intelligent scoring system, The Shoot is still a good choice for fans of the genre.

    You'll burn through each movie pretty fast; there are only a few hours of gameplay here. The levels are designed with unlockables in mind to prompt multiple playthroughs. If you get sucked into high scores you'll likely want to give it a few goes to try and boost it. [December 2010 p79]

    The Shoot lacks any really depth and the multiplayer element hasn't been implemented as well as it could have been and as a result despite not being a bad shooter overall the game quickly starts to feel repetitive.

    The Shoot is a rail-shooter that will soon be forgotten. It´s overly casual style and rotten gameplay is an abysmal addition to a genre haunted by bad titles. It´s Playstation Move integration feels like a bad gimmick, and you much rather want to poke your eye out with the controller than point it at the screen.

    One of the greatest games of all time. I get off on the way the quads look. Made me join the ZBrush cult and i never looked back.

If you want the memories of playing rail shooters at the arcade, this is it. It's simple mechanics make it easy for anyone to pick up. I'd suggest getting a gun attachment for authenticity. Scoring system is cool, as it makes you try to get 100% accuracy. Personally, I thought the cardboard cut-out style was awesome, and something I hadn't seen done so well before. Rent for sure...but at $40 bucks, why not have it so you can play it whenever friends or family come over?… Expand

I always found it hard to control and not funny in comparison with normal FPS games. I guess I am very traditional in terms of controller, but I would not buy Move or The Shoot ever again.… Expand

Co-op and competitive story modes that you can actually play from the beginning, Improved statistics, and of course, more than 5 levels.
