For the price how can you go wrong?November 20, 2007 19 out of 23 found this review helpful
The bottom line is fun. The Wiizapper delivers on this and then some. Boxed with Link's Cross Bow there is no doubt you will get hours of entertainment out of the Zapper and the game it comes with. Even if you never buy another game for it Link's Crossbow is extremely entertaining and has a lot of replay value considering you are going to pay no more then $25.00 for it. If you were lucky enough to pick this up for $19.99 then even better.
The game play is simple enough. Point and shoot. The controls and aim work flawless as one might expect using the Zapper with the Wiimote firmly in place. If you enjoy rail shooters or were a fan of the game duck hunt from the golden age you will feel right home with both the Zapper and Link's Crossbow.
A very nice addition to the Wii library. Worth the purchase.
Link's Crossbow Training is Great; Zapper Ergonomics are OK!November 20, 2007 51 out of 55 found this review helpful
The combination of the Zapper and Link's Crossbow Training is well worth the $20 I paid. The Zapper (which is only a plastic shell for the Wiimote and the Nunchuck) is very sturdy and amazingly well-conceived. The instructions are quite clear on how to insert the Wiimote and the Nunchuck into the Zapper.
Of course the ergonomics of the Zapper are odd, with the trigger (the Wiimote B button) being forward vs to the rear like a rifle or shotgun trigger. However, it's a compromise that Nintendo decided it had to make based on its tests on prototypes. That, and the fact that the infrared component of the Wiimote must be to the front.
The bundled game, "Link's Crossbow Training" is multifaceted and exactly what's needed to give the player practice using the Zapper. AND, the game is a lot of fun all by itself.
The bottom line on this is that the combo of the Zapper plus the game Link's Crossbow Training is a must-have (at least for me) and worth the price. Highly recommended.
