The new G‘AIM’E guns are officially licensed by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc and make you feel like you are back in the arcade.
Setting up G‘AIM’E console was really simple – plug it in hold the power button (not pressing it – hold it) and follow the steps on the screen, including the all important calibration steps – make sure you take the time to do this properly or you won’t hit a thing! You also need to take note of where to stand depending on the size of your TV – if you don’t then you are likely to miss quite a few shots! It took a few goes to get this set up but when I did it was fine, but it was a little frustrating to get it working properly.
When I received the review sample, I was told there was a firmware update that was needed. To do the firmware you just download it from the website, connect up the G‘AIM’E console to your PC and follow the steps. G‘AIM’E say you need to use a Windows 10 machine as there are security issues with Windows 11 and there is no Mac version. I did eventually get this firmware to update but it took several tries and given we are in 2026 it’s a little surprising you need Windows 10 to do it unless you are happy to turn off various security functions on your Windows 11 machine. If you have a Mac then you are just out of luck – you can’t update the firmware! G‘AIM’E really need to fix this.
I had so much fun playing with the G‘AIM’E – I even introduced it to my trusty 9 year old helper who didn’t want to put it down. Yes the graphics and gameplay are dated – obviously, but that doesn’t take away from the sheer fun you get from playing!
Whilst the G‘AIM’E was a lot of fun, the frustrations around accuracy and firmware updates might put some people off, especially when paying up to £199.99 for the privilege.
There are three versions available – Basic, Premium and Ultimate. It is worth noting that if you buy the Basic version you just get Time Crisis – there is no way in the future to add the other games so bear that in mind. Cost wise, the Basic edition is £99.99, the Premium edition is £149.99 and the Ultimate edition (reviewed here) is £199.99. Depending on which version you buy, you can purchase an extra gun and the pedal separately or get everything in the Ultimate edition.
