The gun does have a few limitations. First of all, you can’t use the gun with an LCD screen. If you don’t have a CRT monitor then you’re out of look. Also, you can only have one gun attached to the computer at a time. I would’ve like to play games like House of the Dead with a partner but the design only allows for the usage of one.
ACT Labs is no stranger to the PC light gun area and they have a good product when it works fully. While I am disappointed in the inability to use more than one gun and LCD monitor incompatibility, the gun is fun to use if you enjoy those types of games. It’s really cool to relive some of the old classics by playing them the way they were meant to be played. You’ll even find a list of web games that you can use the gun with on ACT Labs’ site. Installation and calibration is as simple as can be and there’s no driver installation needed. If you’re looking for a PC light gun to use, then ACT-Lab’s USB gun is the one for you. At $30, it’s not at all expensive. Just be prepared to deal with some accuracy issues on occasion.
C+
When it works, it works well. Installation is simple and there are no drivers needed. You can only use one gun at a time and it won’t work on LCD monitors. Accuracy is an issue sometimes.
