Review on Wii Zapper: Master Link's Crossbow Training with the Official Accessory by Manni Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lots of value for the price.

As noted by some users, the ergonomics of the rifle are fine. The zipper is comfortable enough to hold in hand and the construction is good. The remote control and nunchuck fit snugly against the body, and the cords are conveniently twisted into a handle. However, if you're like me, your hands instinctively expect the trigger to be on the back of the gun. The trigger isn't spring-loaded either, which is why my friends complain that it feels a little soft (all trigger tension comes directly from the "B" knob). The Tommy Pistol-style front trigger takes a little getting used to and becomes comfortable enough after a while. The buttons on the remote and nunchuck are reasonably accessible, and the analog stick is right where it should be for easy thumb access. I really like Zapper for games that require an analog stick to move the character (like the Call of Duty series). If I'm playing a Duck Hunt style game where all I have to do is aim and shoot, I usually use Perfect Shot or the shotgun or rifle that comes with one of Cabela 2011's top hunting games (e.g. Dangerous Hunts). Shot Elite ). A free game bundled with a zapper, Link's Crossbow Shooting Trainer costs at least $5-$10 off the price. The dynamic is quite simple, but you get several carnival games in one. In target shooting mode, your character flies quickly from place to place and you have to hit as many targets as possible. When playing defender style, you stand in one place (this time you can move in whichever direction you're facing) and must kill as many villains as possible before being overwhelmed. In the final ranger mode, you run around killing villains hiding in forts and other locations until time runs out. (My personal favorite is the Ranger mode.) If you're a Wii fan like me, the gun and the game offer you a lot of value for a relatively small amount of money.
