Links Crossbow Training

This game is more than worth the $20 for it and the obsolete Wii Zapper (which I'll get into in a second). It is extremely fun, more so than you would expect. It is both a rail shooter, a FPS and a new Duck Hunt and lets face it, who doesn't love Duck Hunt. It is a great introduction to what the Wii can do in terms of shooters.
As for the Wii Zapper, the other half of the $20, I would say throw it away. It is very cramped and is not all that nice to look at. It is also badly designed for games like Resident Evil 4 and RE: Umbrella Chronicles, in whitch you have to press the A button to pick up items, ect. You constantly have to move your hand from the nunchuk up to the wii remote which is very uncomfortable. I'd say buy this for the game and then buy a nyko perfect shot.

Addictive crossbow training

___I believe that, Although Links Crossbow Training is fun, fast-paced and addictive gaming bliss, it does start to get repetitive. Levels are all unique in their own way, and the multiple types of gameplay adds an extra twist. ___The levels generally are incredibly fast pace, which makes LCT a good game for adrenalin junkies, but it still gets kind of repetitive. I kept playing even after completing all the levels, but after a while it was too much of the same thing. luckily the wii zapper is used for other games as well. ___The three types of gameplay (target, defender and ranger) are each good in their own way, but they each lack something. they are all fast paced and exhilarating but for some levels (like ranger levels) it can be almost impossible to find all of the enemies and kill them in the allotted time for each level. the controls for ranger mode are also very difficult to master. target is generally the best when it comes to that, but there is nothing really dangerous, so it's not always the best, even if it does challenge you to find bonuses like fairies and rupees. The defender mode is usually either facing one direction and shooting stuff, or standing in one spot and turning to shoot enemies, which becomes very difficult. ___There are, as mentioned before, medals to be collected, but you need scores of 80,000+ to get the highest ranking ones, the major goal of the game. it is, however extremely satisfying to actually get one of the medals, even if not very often. ___There are also rupees and fairies to find for those who like more of the puzzle games, and for mayhem-lovers like myself:), there are glowing green enemies that give you a machine-gun crossbow. those things can make the game very addicting and fun. ___There are also two times in LCT where you fight bosses. both times are fun, however the final boss is very difficult to beat with a good score.
