Van Helsing Sniper Zx100 is good if you’re looking for a challenge, but stick with Face Raiders if you think it’s too repetitive with its high price. Once its price drops or it goes on sale, though, light-gun game fans might want to consider it.

Van Helsing Sniper Zx100 evokes the creepy aesthetic of Killer7, but while Killer7's unique concepts and quirky style helped it overcome its significant faults, Van Helsing doesn't have the same originality; its charming 3D presentation is delicious icing let down by a fairly flavourless light gun cake. It can be therapeutic to simply shoot bad guys and bask in the sci-fi London setting, but you should probably wait until the ominous $6.66 price point drops a bit before you consider sinking your teeth into Van Helsing.

I honestly don’t have much to say about this game, except that it fails to captivate me. The 3D effect is decent, but the overall graphics are just cheaply done. The gameplay is repetitive and boring, there is nothing that makes me want to keep going.

Save yourself the ludicrous $6.66 price of Van Helsing Sniper Zx100 and play Face Raiders (which is included for free on the 3DS) instead.
