So much fun. The game that comes with the wii zapper is ok. But i played Ghost Squad with it and it was alot of fun. It played alot like time crisis

Quite fun to play with but I guess 20€ would be a more appropriate price and the Game is only as motivating as you tend to reach highscores or not.
If you just want to play it through rent it before, you may complete it in one afternoon

The wii zapper is cool for shooting games and works well with the free game it comes with. Don't complain how bad the crossbow training game is because it was FREE.

hahaha this is a cool sample game that can easly beatin with much fun and enjoyment, the addition of the wiizapper is great and you dont have to think much when your playingso its great for just chilling at home. I still wish they could have put a little piston in the gun for recoil and more enjoyment

overall this is a buy

The Wii Zapper is useful but the game gets old after about an hour.

This game is only fun for about 1 hour at the most...
A neat twist on a great game. Using the analog controller to walk around while trying to aim the zapper is something to get used to but it's great.If they make more like the Link Crossbow training game they'll have a good thing going.One downfall is that this game is way to short.

Surely a must have but the game isn't so great, all you do is shoot targets and enemies but you can use the zapper for games like this game, Resident evil: UC and coming soon Ghost Squad
While the zapper increases accuracy and has a nice weight to it, I think Nintendo could have put out a better design. The internet was chock full of concept designs that looked way better than what the final product ended up as.

Either way, it's a solid item which tested better than third-party zappers on the market. Link's Crossbow Training is great in that it helps the user adapt and learn to use the zapper.

All in all it's a great value, but I would probably wait for a few more Wii games to offer support for the zapper.
The device is worth the price. Unfortunately, unless the game designers bother to add button configuration to their games, you'll be reaching around the top of the gun to fire (button "A"), instead of just pulling the trigger (button "B"). So make sure to check for this option before buying any Wii games (i.e. Resident Evil: 4)

This game is alright. $20 may be a bit steep for this limited game and the badly-developed Wii Zapper. Many of the third-party "Wii-guns" are much better and easier to use. But this isnt a rant on the Wii Zapper, but on Link's Crossbow Training.

The game has three modes which use both the Wiimote and the Nunchuck. Its fun at first, but this limited gameplay becomes boring after awhile. There is a multi-player option, but the players take turns playing a level, then compare scores. Maybe if it was more competitive, where two players fired at the same targets at the same time to see who got more, it might have been a little better.

All in all, I dont know what to tell you. I think its better off to have a third-party gun, which makes games like Ghost Squad and RE:UC a lot more fun. However, I can see some people enjoying this game more than others. Maybe if you go to Game Stop you can find just the game disc for a cheaper price...

It's kind of boring after a while, and isn't very easy unless you're pretty skilled with the Wii Zapper. Also, I'm not real big on Zelda or shooting games, so that's probably another reason I don't like this very much.

i found this game to be alot of fun at first. i still play it time to time, but its great fun when i do play it, plus the wii zapper can be used with many other games including my favorite, medal of honor heroes 2, so i suggest you go pick it up!

Ill give this one a 4. This game came with the zapper for like practice. That's what id use it for. it kinda reminds me of the shooting gallary from the other Zelda games. It is pretty neat though with the zapper.
Pretty good!

For $20 you get a decent game and the Wii Zapper, which is nothing more than a plastic mold to hold the wiimote and nunchuck to look like a kind of machine gun or crossbow. I'd like if the game would allow you to customize the button configuration, but otherwise I like it.

*Review coming later*
decent shooter because it is Zelda, The gun is a completely useless chunk of plastic though. Ditching that makes the game much easier.

Purchased this mostly for the zapper, but the game isn't that bad. Lots of differnt ways to shoot stuff. The graphics are some of the best on the Wii.

This is a 5* simply for the Wii Zapper.
The game is not meant to be amazing but just to show off the Wii Zappers capabilities. But the Wii Zapper itself is amazing!

Good game, but the Zapper has a slightly unusual configuration. If it were longer like a tactical shotgun, or didn't habe the forward grip like a real crossbow, it's be great.
