Azene asked:


And is it possible to use the wii perfect gun shot as a bow like the wii zapper? Please answer this question. And one more thing, can you use the rockband accessories to the guitar hero games and expansions? Thank you very much for everything.

    Only differences between the wii zapper and the perfect shot is the design. The wii zapper holds the numchuck as well, while the perfect shot is just for the wiimote. So they are a bit different. I believe that when you play games like Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles you use the numchuck to look around while I don’t know if you can do that with the perfect shot.

    As for rockband/guitar hero compatibility check this website.

    It’s basically the game.

    The zapper is longer, like a sawed-off shotgun, and the Perfect is more like a handgun.

    The Zapper holds both the Wii-mote and the nunchuck, and I think the Perfect Shot only holds the Wii-mote.

    wii zapper uses both wiimote and nunchuck. And perfect shot uses just the wiimote. They are both the same for shooting

    I like that the perfect shot has a trigger that moves to press the b button instead of you having to hold the barrel of the gun to push the b button with your finger, the only thing I hate about the perfect shot is that you have to take the wrist strap off of the remote in order for it to fit in the gun, It’s no big deal for me, but my son has a hard time doing it and he can’t get the strap back on after.

    The rock band equipment will only work with rock band 1 & 2
    The Guitar hero world tour equipment will work with the guitar hero games and rock band 2 but not rock band 1. The makers of rock band have promised to make all their new games compatible with the guitar hero equipment but the guitar hero guys wont make their games work with the rock band instruments.

    Wii Zapper is bulky and requires 2 hands to hold.
    The Nyko Perfect shot is easier to hold, smaller, and is spring loaded, and more efficient than the wii zapper. Yes the Perfect Shot can replace the Wii Zapper if you want.

    However, the wii zapper comes with a free game, so it’s up to you.

    And no, Rock Band instruments can’t be used in any of the GH games on the wii, however you could use GH instruments on Rock Band 2. (But not RB1)

    Zapper Vs’ Perfect gun.
    The Wii Console doesn’t know you even have one, it’s just a holder for the remote/nunchuck.
    The Wii Zapper is an official Nintendo peripheral and so more people like it for comfort and sturdiness, it also holds the controllers in a particular way so the tilt sensors are aligned, this gives you better accuracy during fast moving scenes.
    The Perfect gun is like the Nerf N-strike conrtroller adapter, (I actually prefer the nerf one for comfort) it enables you to feel like you’re holding a gun as opposed to a remote control.

    As for the GH Vs’ RB question, All the peripherals are cross compatible with RB2. They both use the same Logitech USB mic’.

    The only main difference I can think of is the fact that you hold the perfect shot in just one hand, meaning it is difficult to play games such as COD 5 or any other FPS which involves moving around, because it is a pistol, rather than a rifle. With the Zapper however the nun-chuk is built into the gun as well meaning you can move your character around more easily, or it can be separate if you want. But it could be said that the Wii Zapper is awkward to hold. Benefits to the Perfect shot is the grip, the fact it is smaller, and the Perfect Shot does work with a nun-chuk just not as well. :D
