A must have for the Wii at $20!

This can be an addictive game; especially if you play it with friends.

Basically you do shooting quests for points to earn medals. The person with the highest score gets their Mii showcased on the level so there is a consent battle to knock each other off the first place spot.

It's just point and shoot so anyone can play this game.

If you like target shooting or shoot-em-ups, then this is great!

I like to shoot things. :) I haven't made it up to doing skeet shooting or anything that involves actually messing with firearms, but if it involves aiming, I'll probably enjoy it (archery, darts, baseball, golf... well, close enough...). That being said, I loved the Crossbow Training game! I found the peripheral easy to use and fairly intuitive. I've seen some reviewers that commented that the "trigger" was in the wrong place for a pistol. While this may be the case, it is in about the right place for a crossbow.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

great game, but i wouldn't buy from amazon again - verrrrrry slowwwww shipping. should have bought it at bb or cc

Game is as expected, unexpected minor hardware difficulty

This is a point and shoot game with the "crossbow" holding the two parts of the Wiimote together. It's not a great game, but it's what I envisioned when I ordered this. The Crossbow seems to do what it is supposed to as well, but the cord between the two is somewhat unwieldy and has to be wrapped around the handle a few times to keep it from becoming bothersome. One annoying problem I found immediately is that it DOES NOT work with the NYKO battery covers from the NYKO Wii Charge Station. For those of us who bought the charge base, you will need the original covers for your Wiimote to fit it properly into the crossbow. The combo, though, is fun but definitely not a must have.

Good idea, but not as practical.

I love the idea of using these gun peripherals, but they have yet to come through as fully thought out products. They don't accommodate for rechargeable batteries. Quick solution - remove the battery cover. Kind of clunky design. Also, I don't much enjoy the wrapped up cable idea. Every time I have cables wrapped up as tight as they are, the cables become dysfunctional.

The game it comes with is terrible. Link Crossbow training was the most awkwardly controlled game I've played since GTA2. Thankfully it was no extra charge - but you get what you pay for.

Some people don't like holding it machine gun style, and it seems more comfortable to hold it at the hip level and shoot that way. With one of the pistols, it is easier to hold up for longer periods and shoot away. Fatigue really sets in after about an hour or two.

All in all it isn't half bad, but it isn't half good either. Simply put: If you need one then go ahead and get this one. If you can wait, then wait until somebody finally makes a good, intelligently designed gun peripheral. Besides, there aren't many good shoot 'em up games for the Wii right now. Just House of the Dead 2+3 (outdated), Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, and Ghost Squad (repetitive). Wait and see if there will be more games that will utilize these peripherals and whether they are worth it.
