- Do not buy the "Guns & Ammo The Ultimate Target Challenge" by XICAT Interactive and Guns & Ammo. It will not run with many "mice", but once it does, you'll have a cowardly and just plain stupid and boring "game" It is not what is advertised, but these guys will gladly take your $$$ for it. Here is my e-mail to XICATs' website feedback section:
Tell you what - to hell with your Guns & Ammo mouse patch whenever it becomes available. I've had yet another $20 stolen from me by buy an absolute piece of crap software product (the other was a piece of excrement called NAPALM - aka NAM). I loaded "Guns & Ammo The Ultimate Target Challenge" onto a friends' system who has a plain old mouse. The software runs great, as it were. The content is a sad joke. ALTHOUGH the box makes us think we can use "over 100 guns...high-tech, military, collectibles", what we have in the "multiple shooting environments" is a
very tiny selection of POLITICALLY CORRECT SPORTING-USE FIREARMS. Not one semiautomatic HANDGUN. Only .22 caliber rifles. Only skeet-shooting shotguns. The targets are only ridiculous round bullseyes with day-glo centers. No bullet holes appear in them, and nothing happens if the bullet hits the ground near the target. The target just vanishes when hit. The clay-targets look pathetic as they crappily-wobble across an equally shoddy background. Only the sound effects are of acceptable quality. The multimedia portions and gun-info sections are pretty bland. What is obviously marketed with your packaging is the "excitement" of so-called "ultra-realistic shooting events". ULTIMATE TARGET CHALLENGE? The only bullseye is the one you crooks made in my wallet. Shame on you, and on Guns & Ammo if they okayed this spineless show of cowardice. AND YOU DARE TO FEATURE THE RATING: "Teen: ANIMATED VIOLENCE". What earburning embarassment to all gun-owners. I'll be glad when the FTC finally cracks down on you software hucksters who peddle this cybertrash and then with your retail-thief-accomplices, WILL NOT REFUND our money. You dare to imply that WE are the dishonest ones! Xicat is OFF my list, and EVERYONE I know will hear why.
- I encourage anyone else who has been victimized to let XICAT and Guns & Ammo hear about it. Get a look and decide for yourself. I'd hoped that this would be a great "virtual gun-range" with all kinds of targets, all kinds of guns - including full-auto and suppressed - and with actually fun events like "Hogans' Alley". None of this is here - especially the FUN.

Pretty good gun game, you have to reload your revolver after 6 shots etc... it is a lot of fun... I have kept that CD (Actually it comes in 2 CDs) ever since I first got it... the only other game CDs I dodn't trade off are DIABLO, WARCRAFT 2 and RED ALERT.
