There are only two ways to think of Target Terror: bad, or awesomely bad. The game is so ridiculous that it's in the same vein as the cheesiest of low-budget movies. It may surprise you, then, that the inspiration for Target Terror came from something as serious as the events of 9/11. Eugene Jarvis, the head of Raw Thrills, recently told MTV Multiplayer, "I think video games spend too much time in fantasy realms of little relevance to life today. The 9/11 story is so rich in action, destruction, death, heroism, megalomania, patriotism and paranoia that it begs for a video game to be made. What red-blooded American would not want to turn back time and heroically change history?"
You may be even more surprised, however, to learn that there's a sequel on the way. Jarvis promises a more fleshed out storyline, oddly enough (that doesn't seem like something that Target Terror fans would be concerned about). The game will stay true to its fanbase, though, as players can still shoot terrorists and enemies in the nuts.

I know I'll be getting it. Target Terror is way fun! I'm loving the hell out of it. Its over the top and flat out fun. I've got all the "light gun" games for the Wii and love this one as much as any of the others. I'm so thrilled to read about a sequel already! I can't wait!!! Plays great with the Perfect Shot too!

I haven't brought the original game yet as I'm still waiting for the game to hit the right price, or preferably a Pal release. But dammit, even without playing it yet, this game deserves a sequel! There needs to be a trilogy. A trilogy with a real fleshed out story. It could be marvellous.
And that quote from Jarvis: incredible. That's how you sell a game.

That game was so terrible. I took it to a party and everyone was bored with it 5 minutes in.
