Link's Crossbow Training


Link's Crossbow training comes with the Wii Zapper which is bundled at a cool price of $25.

Gameplay: The game has good point and shoot controls like Metroid Prime 3. However, the Zapper itself is sort of a disappointment as the game is easier and more precise to play with no zapper. Most of the levels feel pretty similar with really two main types of levels: on-rail target practice or third person shooter. The latter is much more fun obviosuly and gives the game more of an adventure mode and makes the game feel less like a tech demo. 7/10

Presentation: Not much to it due to the simple nature of the game. Could've had more colorful menus to match the generally colorful pallete of the game itself. Very few options. 6/10

Sound: Effective and deep sounds that really simulate what is going on the screen nicely. Solid music as well. 8.5/10

Graphics: Similar color pallete to to Twilight Princess. The graphics look real crisp but then again you're not necearily exploring large maps either. 7/10

Intagibles: The game is very short but due to the scoring system has at least some replay value. A game like this definitley would've benefited from some sort of online play. There is multiplayer but you simply have to pass the controls around after you're turn. 5.5/10

Overall: The game suffers from some lack of polish along with options and detail, but overall most levels are fun while they last. 7/10

If you plan on using the zapper for other games besides this, then this is a good value at $25 for the bundle. Even if you abandon the zapper midway through, the game can still carry itself much more then say Wii Play could without its bundle.
