Konami targets terror

Zapper game for Wii.

Konami wants us to shoot our fears in the face in new Wii Zapper outing Target: Terror.

It's a rehash of an old on-rails arcade shooter due in the US early this year, which lets you and a friend point at your telly and mow down hordes of comedy terrorists wearing sunglasses and bandanas.

Specifically, if you care, you get machine-guns, flame throwers, orbital space lasers, grenade launchers, and a Justice mode to dual wield weapons for extra carnage. Also, mini-games. Phew.

Best of all, it looks absolutely dreadful, and easily puts itself in the running for the worst-looking game of this generation. Pop over to our Target: Terror gallery to see for yourself.

Unfortunately Konami was still eating mince pies, but we will keep you up to date with its Euro plans.
