the aimtrak does offer line of sight aiming, it does work really well and is very accurate, not sure what is happening on your end BadMouth but that ha been my expenrience, only issue is you cant move back and forth while playing, so for example you cant choose while playign a gmea to stretch your arms out more, as now the aimign will be off on the Y axis. |

People of varying heights and playing styles could just grab the gun and play, just like the old arcade or console games. No IR gun has been comparable. It will meet some people's expectations and fall short for others. OP asked for considerations before buying. IMO expectations should be kept in check when buying IR guns. |

well the gun goes out of calibratino if you step forward or backwards, don't know if lightguns ever did that, but so far its the only issue I have come across with aimtraks. but as for you saying 'If you expect to look down the barrel and use the gun sight's you're gonna be a little disappointed.' i must disagree, you make it sound like the aimtraks are like wii remotes, which they aren't, wii remotes are aweful to play light gun games, they have absolutely no correclation to real world gun barrel-to-screen line of sight, but aimtraks truly do have this, i can play a 40 minute game of time crisis 3 purely aiming down the sights of the barrel and its completely accurate, I would know if it wasn't as i would have thrown them in the bin and looked into CRTs, thankfully they worked quite well. |

Actually I do find them comparable to wiimotes, but they are a little better. I'm not bashing Andy's product as it is the best you can do at the moment if you have an LCD screen. I don't see any point in going back and forth. Wanted OP to keep their expectations in check, but have no way of knowing what they're expectations are. If they're young enough to not have any experience with old school CRT light guns, they won't know what they're missing. |

Precise reason why I'm probably not going to put any light guns on my machine. I'm still debating it because my gf REALLY wants one, she loves those shooters :lol It kind of annoys me because it should be possible to have much more accurate light guns then we do. Seems like a string of IR LEDS on the top and bottom of the screen should be enough for fairly accurate guns. Good software should be able to correct for different angles and distances within reason beside turning your gun upside down. Just wish they still made the guns that could could use a VGA connector. |
