Ghost Squad is the game for you - it's very easy and just fun for the most part, and there are unlimited continues. It does get harder as you unlock more (there's a lot to unlock), but that just means you die more and have to continue. I highly recommend it - it's fun alone and with multiple players.

HOTD is fun, but much harder, and you have to unlock more continues, so you'll find yourself playing through the first portion a lot until you get better at it.
 
Umbrella Chronicals sucks compared to Ghost squad and HOTD. Some enemies are unbelievably difficult, if not impossible to defeat and half the time I thought the game was cheating me out of legitimate 'hits', just to make it seem even harder. Plus the accuracy, imo, is much more precise in the 2 SEGA shooters.

second that.

Ghost Squad

-fun and pretty easy
-up to 4 players.
-it has action sequences that are a nice change of pace from the shoot everything mentality. like you disarm mines by pressing the A button repeatedly, try to knife/punch someone by moving a knife icon into the right spot.
-more than one path in each stage, so you'll want to replay the stages again to test them out.
-tons to unlock, from guns to random modes that change all the enemies to girls in bikinis and shooting them w/ water guns...yeah Paradise Mode!

HOTD 2 & 3

-pretty hard but fun at the same time, gets easier as you lose and they give you more continues
-2 players max
-straight ports of the arcade shooters. i guess it's fun to see what happens if you take different paths.
-not much to unlock really...

compared to RE:UC, those two games are much easier because they're arcade games. RE:UC tries to recreate the RE experience as an on-rails shooter with all the usual RE elements so that's why it's a harder game.

i also have Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, but it's still sealed. the FPS mode won't be what you're looking for, but i think it has an arcade mode that's on rails. can't say it's gonna be easier than HOTD, but it might be enjoyable enough.
 
[quote name='decrot']Ghost squad was strangely hard to get for me. I had to drive to another state to get it (well it was only 20 miles away). But all the stores within a 10 mile radius; about 20 stores, didn't carry ghost squad for some reason.

anyway, ghost squad was really easy, the extras are really fun. Like you can shoot bikini chicks with a water gun or you can throw stars at ninjas

cant tell you about house of the dead 2 and 3, but they are both available on amazon.com. HotD is only 20 bucks too.[/QUOTE]

Thanks guys! Sounds great. I'll pick it up if it's cheap enough.

Am I right in assuming the "zapper" piece of plastic is worthless for it? :D

I was going to say the RE games are balanced much better than that shooter, but come to think of it, I only play the Resident Evil games on "easy", or else they're way too hard for me also. (IMO they're broken on the "normal" American difficulty level, but I suppose lots of people like them that way).

You are wrong! I have a Zapper and a Perfect Shot, and I couldn't imagine playing without at least one of them. Part of what makes Ghost Squad so fun is the arcade feel, and using just the remote spoils that. Plus, if you buy the Zapper, you get Link's crossbow training, which I think is worth it alone. It's not a game really, but everyone I play with really likes it for the various target shooting modes, even my non-gaming spouse.

I have the zapper and never use it. It's much more enjoyable without it, IMO.
 
My wii has been messing up ever since i put the Mario Galaxy update on it. (I did the 15% trick to get MP3 working, and i have PAL wii) This causes nearly all my games to try to update and fail whenever i put them in meaning i cant play them. The exception to this rule was SPM which always worked. The only way to get around it was to reflash the wiikey and then i can get some games to work (different every time) until i want to change the game and i have to reflash again. I took the wiikey out and the problem still occured, so i ruled it out as being the culprit. The new wiikey update (update blocker) has let me start playing all my old games easily, but Mario Kart stubbornly refuses to work, it tries to update and fails.

Has anyone heard of anything like this? I think its a problem with my Wii's bios/firmware, i've updated it since then, via online, but the problem still occurs so im not sure how to fix it. Assuming that the MK update is released online that will fix it to play MK but does anyone know of a way i could fix it properly? Either by flashing the firmware back to factory settings, or flashing it off of another wii? or am i going to have to ring nintendo and see if they can fix it?
