HOTD overkill is a great on rails shooter, we have the magnum style gun shell that was released with the game and its much nicer imo than the official wii Zapper. Not tried any others out myself.
House of the Dead Overkill is good fun, the only downside is it stutters quite badly, and it's very noticable to me. When a lot of zombies are on screen, or it's doing something intensive like explosions or fire, the game freezes for a split second and then continues. It is quite a shame because it gets annoying and becomes even more noticable once you've experienced it, because you're watching for it to do it again. Other than that /thumbsup
As good as those games are they are fps's the op was looking for some light gun games.
House of the Dead: Overkill was thoroughly enjoyable but we found it very easy in Co-Op. Only died once and that was against the final boss. We didn't use any shells or attachments, though I hear the official HotD shell is the best - good luck finding it however. A lot of places have HotD at £15 which is an absolute musy buy IMO.

The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return
The House of the Dead: Overkill
Ghost Squad
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
I'm sure there is more, but these are the only decent light-gun games for the Wii at the moment. And as mentioned before, they aren't really ported or made to be proper light-gun games, but rather with a cursor on-screen. It's a shame as the Wii has so much potential for these types of games, just like the good old Dreamcast and even PS2 did with these games.

I remember playing HOTD Overkill with a mate when it was first released, we did the co-op from start to finish he used the hand cannon gun you could get with it while i used a wii zapper. We came to the conclusion that the hand cannon was far superior to use.
As for games
Hotd 2+3, Hotd Overkill, Ghost Squad were all good fun imo.
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles gets addictive and has lots of lasting appeal if you want to unlock all of the scenarios and extras. Gets damn hard at some points.
It's strange but i think the only lasting appeal my wii has at the moment is for light gun games.

GOt all 4 of the mentioned games at the minutem got overkill yesterday with a couple of cheap gun cases, but realised you cant changed the controls to use the nunchuck buttons to shoot, so that was a waste of time, going to look for 2 of the hand cannons somewhere.
Keep going back to UC though, im determined to try and get everythin gon it, but like has been said it gets very hard, even if you are urnning it on 2 player, dont think it helps my GF is a bit slow and cant aim for toffee
