Game Overview:
Link's
Crossbow Training is a cheap, entertaining little game that
comes as a freebie when you buy the WiiZapper.
The WiiZapper is
basically a light gun accsessory for the WiiMote. By placing
the WiiMote and the Nunchuck in the holsters, you basically
created a handheld gun that you could use in all different types
of shooting games.
To help promote their
new item, Nintendo included a free demo game and plastered the
name Zelda on to make it sell more.
At first, I would
have told you that it didn't need the help. I saw the 30 unique
levels as being enough to keep you entertained for quite a while.
However, when I began to to near the end, having achieved platinum
medals in all levels, I began to the game's poor replay value.
Other than going back and trying to get all platinum medals,
the game was a one and done dud.
The game's idea was
simple enough: shoot targets, enemies, and other things to gain
points, shoot them in a row to multiply your score, and eventually
attain enough points to move on the next level. The game was
a perfect fit for the WiiZapper, and really did a good job showing
off the Zapper's abilities.
Overall though, the
game was more a disappointment than anything else. I really
did look forward to playing it, and once I beat it, there was
nothing left to play for. But it wasn't like it was ridiculously
expensive, so if you and your friends like to play shooting
games, it's a fun game to play with friends.
