THE WII ZAPPER - 5/5
The Wii Zapper is a new peripheral for the Nintendo Wii where you can clip your Wii remote and Nunchuck into the shell to create a lightgun. The lay-out of the controller can be a bit strange to begin with, having the trigger button at the front of the gun. But after just a few minutes play this will become no problem at all and you can then start to have some fun with it.
It works on all Wii games but is obviously only designed for a handful of arcade shooters so far. You get a copy of "Link's Crossbow Training" as part of the package, which is a great game in it's own right and an excellent freebie if you were going to buy the Zapper anyway. So far I've only tried this on Link's Crossbow Training and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, but both work perfectly with it giving a real arcade feel to the games, and allows for much more acurate (and comfortable) shooting. House of the Dead and Ghost Squad are due out in early 2008 and are supposed to be making full use of the Zapper.

LINK'S CROSSBOW TRAINING - 5/5
GAMEPLAY - 5/5
Think of the classic Duck Hunt mixed with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and that'll give you some kind of idea of what to expect here. There are 8 levels, each split into 3 stages. You must then complete the given tasks to earn points to get you the bronze, silver, gold and platinum awards. Using the Wii Zapper makes this game play as smoothly and as accurately as you could possibly want with an arcade shooter. The difficulty increases as you go through the stages and there is plenty of variety in the levels. It's fast, fluid action that does not tire at all.
GRAPHICS - 4/5
The visuals are the same style and are from the same settings such as Hyrule from Twilight Princess but are not quite as polished and sharp as the original. This is not too much of an issue though, as it does still look pretty good and doesn;t affect the gameplay in the slightest. Even the smallest of targets are clearly visable if you've got the HD cable for the Wii. Otherwise, it can be a bit blurry.
SOUND - 5/5
All of the music is straight out of Twilight Princess, so if you're familiar with that game, you'll know what to expect here. Again, a beautiful score with some really memorable tunes.
LIFESPAN - 4/5
It isn't too hard to finish the game on bronze medals but the replay value really comes in when you start to try to beat yours and your friends' highest scores and try to get platinum medals in all levels. The replay value on this is basically endless.
OVERALL - 5/5
An excellent introduction to using the Wii Zapper and for as little as £20 (in most shops) you get a great quality game that has the potential to be a game that you'll keep playing for months, even years, to come.

Fun:
I bought the Wii Zapper/Links Crossbow Training today, and my wife and I have had a blast playing it.
Its great fun, pretty low brow and mindless but great fun. Some of the games are easier than others.
But for me the main thing was the Wii Zapper, I am looking forward to Medal of Honor 2 coming out next year and trying the zapper out with that, should be great fun. In the mean time I might have to to get Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles to keep me going.
One thing though, dont pay more than £20. I got mine from Argos for £19.99 and thats the most its worth.

Links Crossbow Training is the pack in game with the Wii Zapper peripheral for the Wii.
The Zapper is a plastic shell resembling a submachine gun into which the Wiimote and the Nunchuck clip which costs a pretty darn reasonable £19 for the shell and the game.
Links crossbow training is a game based on the successful Zelda franchise and uses the game engine and graphics from Twilight Princess meaning the graphics are pretty darn good.
Each level contains three stages falling into three categories static target shooting, defending your position for advancing enemies where you can rotate your view by moving the Wiimote to the extents of the screen and an FPS like mode where you can move Link arround with the Nunchuck stick.
Gaining points across the three stages of a level wins you medals which are required to move onto the next level.
The game mechanics are pretty simple levels are timed and you can never die (hits just reduce your score) Ammo is always unlimited, but there is a multiplier that increases on each consecutive shot so accuracy is the key to getting a good score.
Some people have complained that the game is slightly easier without using the Zapper shell, but for me this is missing the point after all a driving game might be easier with a joypad, but using a wheel is more imersive.
There are several games to be released that are compatible with the Zapper including the excellent Umbrella Chronicles and House of the Dead and for the budget price you can't really go wrong.

Links Crossbow Training
I liked this product very much, good value with the game included. The Zapper can be used with other games also, it's very good with Goldeneye for example. Well worth the money.

Game for the kids but Zapper is great
As the title suggests I thought the game was a bit of a kids' affair. Happily though, the Zapper itself is brilliant! Read more
