The MAG II doesn't have sensor bar

First came the NES Zapper, then the Wii Zapper, PS3 Move Accessories Sharp Shooter and today the MAG II Magneton Induction Gun. Yes, MAG II is the one other gun controller that aims to generate first-person shooter games more life-like, but this one is unique. It requires no sensors or cameras and will also become a lightweight gun.

Plastic gun controllers aren't for every individual. They're tiring to keep up over long stretches of gaming. All Interactive Entertainment's MAG II is really a space marine shaped gun that shrinks provides a near 1:1 FPS knowledge about any existing game.

Shooter games created for the Wii Remote and PlayStation Move controller require the Wii Sensor Bar or PlayStation Eye because that's that this controllers are tracked.

The MAG II doesn't have sensor bar. There exists a USB dongle that connects to an Xbox 360 console, PS3 or PC USB port as well as the gun controller that includes a built-in gyroscope for motion tracking. That's the plan. It's super an easy task to set up.

There we were treated to short demo with the MAG II and surprisingly, for the quiet booth tucked in the corner of E3, the gun controller very effective. Aiming is fluid and precise, with the onscreen gun mimicked in almost 1:1 from our controller movement. There's built-in vibration and also a knob up at the top that lets you tweak the sensitivity settings about the fly.

All Interactive Entertainment says that this MAG II can be calibrated to work properly with split-screen gaming where tracking will get a little ugly. Like a prototype, playstation 3 accessories felt solid. It's plasticky body probably won't look very attractive, nonetheless it works as advertised and it blows the SharpShooter and Wii Zapper completely away.

You possibly can wager which the sell for this type of gun controller is incredibly small, but damn it, some of the ways FPS gun controllers are meant to work.

More impressive would be that the MAG II might be changed into a lightweight gun to play classics such as House in the Dead and Time Crisis. We aren't dealing with motion-based arcade shooters optimized for motion controls, we're talking legit light gun games of Video game accessory.

Another cool feature: the MAG may be used as cosplay prop! When not associated with any game machines, the trigger activates the vibration, developing a fun toy weapon.
