Link's Crossbow Training (Wii, 2007)

The Wii Zapper plus Link's Crossbow Training is quite a deal, but only if you buy it in a brick and mortar store!

The "Zapper" part is just a study piece of plastic that houses the Wii remote and nunchuck together. Both pieces fit very well, and you can pull a trigger that presses the "B" button on the remote. It fits well in your hands and seems to make aiming easier, but this could depend on where you place your sensor bar. The cord between the nunchuck and remote can be wrapped around inside the handle of the zapper, which makes it even easier to use.

The game, Link's Crossbow Training is great fun, although it is quite short. You'll have a great time shooting everything, moving around, hunting down enemies, etc. It is fast paced, and should prepare you well for any future titles that use the Zapper. The only downside is that there is no real multiplayer to the game; instead, you can just pass around one controller between turns.

Don't buy the Zapper on ebay! First off, the cheap knockoffs don't even include the game, and cost the same as buying one in a store. Second, the official Zapper and game retails for around $20 - $25; half the price of ebay auctions plus shipping! I have had no trouble finding the official Zapper in major discount department stores, gaming stores, or electronics stores. Don't believe the ebay auctions that claim the Zapper is "hard to find." If you can't find it today, wait until Sunday, and you'll probably be able to find it at every store you vist - I did!

P.S. The only people who will mark this review as "not helpful" are the ones who are making a killing off you people on ebay! Buy it in a store and save yourself $20!
