 Fun, Useful, and Inexpensive Package November 26, 2007

Sure, Link's training could have been a deeper experience, but for 20$ the game with Zapper is a fantastic value. br /Link's Crossbow Training is a shooter with different level types. Some feature Link in a fixed position, others actually require you to move around. The game is good, but shallow - you can clear it in about an hour. The biggest negative thing I would say is that there is no co-operative 2 player mode. The great Twilight Princess locations are the basis of the levels and it will really make you want to go back and play Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.br /The Zapper itself is comfortable to use and despite some older Wii games that cannot function well with it (Call Of Duty 3 among others do not work with the Zapper), others like Elebits become much easier to control. Also some of the new shooter games like Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Ghost Squad have special Zapper settings.br /Sure, ultimately you are buying a piece of plastic to shove the controller into, but I would certainly prefer to use the Zapper with any compatible game. Perhaps most importantly, the Zapper simply doesn't strain your wrist like holding the Wii-mote does, especially for any long gaming session.
Great attachment for the Wii November 26, 2007

First off, ignore the bad reviews that are based solely on the control scheme issues in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. Those people need to look in options and select the scheme created for the Zapper. br /br /The build quality of the Zapper is great. It feels sturdy, and it holds everything quite well. The Wii-mote clicks in securely, and you can plug the Nunchuck in normally and keep it not connected for games that require movement of the Nunchcuck for secondary actions, like RE: UC. You can also keep it attached to the Zapper like the box shows. The Nunchuck also fits in securely, and there is a compartment to wrap up the excess cord to keep everything neat. Also, you do not lose any access to the buttons and it is comfortable to hold, but I did notice that my hand was hurting the first time I used it, but I think it was because I was gripping the controller too hard. The action may get intense, but try not to squeeze it so hard and you will not have any aches and pains. br /br /Holding it with two hands make take a bit of getting used to, since the trigger is in the front when it would usually be in the back. I prefer to hold it in one hand and keep the nunchuck in my left hand.br /br /The game that it comes with is also quite fun. The game has some replay value and has multiplayer, although I have not tried that. br /br /The price is good, but I would wait till Amazon gets them in stock and sells them for $20 again, or try and go to the Nintendo store and grab one for $20. Its still worth it for $25, but it is a 25% increase in price...

For $25 this game is a tremendous deal. There is no way you can go wrong with the purchase of the zapper.

I think this game is awesome!!!!!!! I paid twenty dollars for this game and it has been the cheapest that I have bought and enjoyed. My daughter and I have had hours of fun with this game. Only complaint will be on some of the scenes you are unable to move your man which makes you a sitting target for your enemies. I give it a thumbs up for sure.

I was skeptical when i saw the box. "We don't need to turn the wii-motes into a gun. How good can the pack-in be?" But then I had second thoughts and bought it. We've been playing it all night. I was a Duck Hunt fan and the rail shooting levels are fantastic - like the first time you played Mrs. PacMan after being a PacMan fan but so much better. There's a mix of scrolling, rail and 1st person shooting levels set in the Twilight Princess world that can be played in order or on their own. If you get a Wii for the holidays, pick this up as well. I can tell there's no point in even taking the wii-mote out of the zapper. The family will be playing this just about everyday, despite our having about a dozen other Wii titles. My 3 year old was delighted when she beat my high score. In my defense it would have been higher but I hit a live chicken. My 8 year old informed me "Mom! You can't shoot LIVE things!!!" Who knew? It was so much fun blasting the fruit balloons.... and the skeletons.... I'd defend my record, but my husband and brother have been playing for the last four hours and I can't get near it. Well worth the $20 - if they'd sold the game alone I would have paid more.
