Wii Zapper: Master Link's Crossbow Training with the Official Accessory Review

Remember the gun on the NES? Did you enjoy shooting the ducks (and the laughing dog) in the original duck hunting game? I have, and like the previous version of the gun, the Wii Zapper makes shooting games more fun. Link's Crossbow Training, which claims to be just a demo for Zapper, is actually fun and a good Zelda challenge that my husband and I completed. hesitated to buy. Zapper can also be used with other games like Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, which my husband says is more…

1 week real time and 7 hours game time later I got silver medals for all 9 levels and platinum medals for the first 4 levels, some think the complexity is too easy. The game didn't require the Wii zapper, so if high scores are more important to you, I'd play it without the zapper. If Nintendo really wanted the player to use the Wii Zapper, they would have found a way to let the game know if I was using it or not. The Wii Zapper lagged and it was so uncomfortable that my hands cramped. Overall…

Featuring twenty-seven action-packed levels based on the Twilight Princess, the player is immersed in a rich environment while shooting classic targets, pots and a variety of enemies. Earn medals in Score Attack mode to unlock all levels. In multiplayer mode, you take turns with your friends to find out which of you is the best shooter.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my 6 year old nephew after seeing how much fun he was playing with the one we had for our own Wii. I know the reason for buying it is mainly for the zapper itself and it's very useful for many Wii games. But the game that goes with it is a lot of fun and we really like it. In fact, the one I bought for myself came with a non-working game and I took it back to the store to get a new one. We bought it for a game rather than a zapper. The game is fun even…

The game itself is decent enough, with a good selection of modes and backgrounds. This is a good 20-40 minute time killer instead of sitting down and playing all day. My 4 and 6 year olds might feel differently because they like it (although their hit rate isn't very good, which doesn't bother them). Out of the 3 main game modes offered, the traditional pop-up shooter mode and the defender mode are the best. The third mode is to use the nunchaku and try to move the character, which doesn't seem

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 game itself is quite fun. It's basically a series of target and animal shooting games of increasing difficulty (at least as far as I've explored so far). If you like more cartoon shooters, this one is pretty decent. The downside, however, is the game controller mount - you plug your controller and nunchuck into it for easier shooting and maneuvering. In short, it's really terrible. To use it properly, you'll need to put your left hand behind your back to maneuver and your right hand forward
