Yeah, that'd be great... a Wii version of this game, with motion+ and Nunchuck instead of the Wii Zapper, would be perfect I think, control-wise. On PS2, though... moving with a dpad on the back of the gun, while also firing? Strafing with buttons on the sides of the gun? (Oh, and switch weapon is on C, on the bottom of the stock). Um... yeah. Not so great.
Oh, and if you haven't used one (I don't know if you have), the Guncon is kind of odd. I don't know how it works actually, it doesn't seem to be the "flashes" system of, say, the NES or SMS guns, but it's tied to CRT timing somehow... and also, it has a separate cord that connects to your composite video cable going to the TV, so the gun itself has to output video too or something, which then gets mixed with the system's video.
Anyway, if I asked for one thing in Dino Stalker, though, it wouldn't be a better controller, it'd be checkpoints... oh well. They were trying something different, as far as lightgun games go, but I think the game might show how different isn't always better. My other PS2 lightgun game, Sega's Vampire Night, is a better game for sure. Of course though, that game's from Sega, with good gameplay and terrible voice acting in the classic House of the Dead tradition, so I don't know if it's a fair comparison... :)
