Manufacturer's Description
The Wii Remote and Nunchuk both take on a new feeling when placed within the Wii Zapper. In Links Crossbow Training players use the Wii Remote in the Wii Zapper to aim at targets on the screen, with the Nunchuk controlling movement. On the Wii Remote, players simply press down the trigger (the B Button) to fire, or continue the pressure for a more powerful shot. They can also re-position themselves, turning in different directions by aiming the pointer off-screen. On the Nunchuk the Z-Button acts as a zoom function for the camera so that the shot is completely on target. Links Crossbow Training sees each player take on the role of Link in a series of exciting and fast-paced challenges set in the world of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Players can get accustomed to the Wii Zapper with Links Crossbow Training and practice Target Shooting as well as the Defender and Ranger modes, ensuring an action-packed experience in numerous stages spread over nine levels. The object of each stage is to achieve the highest score before the time limit expires. Utilising the innovative Wii Zapper allows players to take aim and fully immerse themselves into the game in a completely new way!

Customer Reviews

Target Practice!!
The game is good, it is basically a target practice game, where you try and score as many points as possible. Some of the targets are stationary, some move slightly and others are moving enemies. My favourite level involves Link (you) flowing down a river, trying to shoot enemies and targets, it looks good and is a fun level. If anyone has played Twilight Princess they will recognise the locations and enemies.

The problem with the game is that it is too short. You can easily complete it in one sitting and be left there thinking.....is that it?
Yes, you can go back and try to better your score, but it would have been better if there were more levels or it was a bit more difficult.

The "wii zapper" is a great idea, its easy to use and works well with Crossbow training. However, I am quite disappointed in the lack of titles that support the "wii zapper", it would make a fantastic first person shooter with online capabilities.

Overall, for the price, it is quite good! The game is short (so be aware) but it can be replayed, and can be quite addictive trying to get higher scores. Hopefully in the future there will be more games released that make good use of the wii zapper, maybe even a follow up to crossbow training!

Don't buy a spare gun!
I bought this game for my boys and being a considerate mum (to avoid the fighting) I bought a spare gun / crossbow for the second controller.

It would appear that you can only set it up for one controller which is them passed between players. (If I'm wrong I'm hoping someone will explain how to get the second one working!)

So - in short - good game but don't waste your money buying a second gun / crossbow.

Great game!
This is a really good game to start off on the Wii. It is quite short and didnt take me long to complete but its not a lot of money so you cant say your being ripped off.
