And it proves just how good a developer Nintendo is. Even a simple little game like this is well done.


Exactly.  You read a description of the game, and it sounds like they just slapped together a shooting game in 5 minutes, but when you play it you can tell that they tested it and polished it and turned it into a little gem.  A little gem that only costs 20 bucks.

I saw Gamer TV on bravo about this, and it criticised the zapper, and the game if I remember correctly, so it is a bit odd to see such positive feedback from gamers. they also said that the perfect shot gun was a lot better, is this right, I beleive it leaves the nunchuck seperately, making it more useful in RE UC


RE:UC has a Zapper control configuration, but it's retarded.  At any point in the game that requires you to shake the nunchuk, you basically can't do it and take an automatic hit.  I don't know why they even put that in the game if they were going to still require you to shake the nunchuk.

I've just started ignoring "professional" reviews when it comes to Nintendo games, and reading user reviews.  Every mainstream reviewer has some bone to pick lately whether it's with Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft.


 While they don't make it obvious, the unmounted nunchuk is an 'official' configuration for the zapper (but who reads the manual? :P). I don't mind the configuration either as I tend to use the back of the gun as a 'stock' and press it against the side of my arm for better aim.



Yea surprisingly Crossbow Training was actually fun and addictive. Just didn't have much replay value. Of course for the price its not like you were buying some epic 40 hr game anyways.

I feel like wielding the Zapper in one hand would reduce my effectiveness by a lot as compared to just holding the remote.
