I have played a lot of the game now, and am really happy with it. Its an awesome "pick up and play" for a few minutes - and I find there is a real drive to try and get PLATINUM medals on all the levels (yes, you can get more than gold).
At first, I wasn't that impressed with the game - but the more I played it, the more I got into it. There is actually a significant amount of "strategy" in each level - the best order to hit targets, pots that contain gold coins (sooner you hit them, more pts you get awarded with).
...
I'm still unsure about the WiiZapper itself. It looks pretty cool IMO, but I'm not sure how useful or functional it really is (haven't tried the game without it).
The game seriously rewards accuracy (i.e. never missing, rather than hitting every target) - and I do think that with a little practice (butt against my chest for stability) the WiiZapper will give a higher level of accuracy.
For the price (picked up for $44AU), I think its a solid purchase - and adds another "string" to the Wii bow. Its a game that should interest casual gamers as well.
Around a 8.0-8.5/10
