 A Much for the WII August 11, 2008

I receive this from amazon and tried it right away. It is a blast. If you love duck hunt like I did with the first nintendo. Then you will love this. I even had to take the gun away from my mom she love it so much. This will be another fun game to play with family and friend.
Good, for something to do. August 9, 2008

I mean, come on! Nintendo has tons of new products for the Wii everyday, and for something to do, I would say pick up the Wii Zapper. The Zapper is fun, and Link's Crossbow Training is also the same. It will at least give you something to do for just 20 minutes.
Good Controller Great Game August 3, 2008
The zapper is a little strange as the trigger is out front rather than in back where one would find it on a rifle. Once you get used to that oddity the zapper works great. The game that comes with it "Link's Crossbow Training" is great. I loved this game the only problem is it was a bit short. The game developers really should make some more games utilizing this controller though. Once you've beaten the game there isn't much else to do with the controller.
The game was worth it! July 29, 2008
I bought the Zapper because I liked the way it looked and wanted to have something to shoot with. But the game that comes with it was worth twice the price. A WII game for $20? The game is one of my favorites.
 Fun Game, Zapper Feels Cumbersome and Lacks Ergonomics July 28, 2008
As a target shoot that competes, I love to play Wii games that help me refine me eye-hand coordination and response times. That said, I was happy when Nintendo released their designs for the Wii Zapper, however, something bothered me. The trigger was in the front while the grip was in the back. This goes against most firearm setups as most target shooters place the grips in the front while the trigger is in the back. This way, it feels more natural using your dominant hand as the trigger hand otherwise if you put it in reverse you either are forced to use your non-dominant hand or flip the hands around and are forced to keep the firearm pressed against your chest to keep your eyes down the sights. The latter is an extreme no-no for anyone who has fired an actual firearm as the butt of the rifle should go against your shoulder, NOT your chest.
That said, firearm practitioners will find the Wii Zapper extremely non-ergonomic and somewhat cumbersome. Anyone who has not fired a rifle will not notice the difference and adapt. It is understandable why the Wii Remote must be placed in front since the forward laser needs a clear line of sight, however, it takes away from the feel of the zapper. I bought the Zapper and quickly purchased the Nyko Perfect Shot as it feels more natural as a sidearm than the Zapper as a rifle or carbine.
This is not to say that the Zapper is not worth getting. Link's crossbow training is very useful at practicing your usage of a standard Wii Remote and Nunchuck as it is with the Nyko Perfect Show. I use my Perfect Shot on Link's Crossbow Training every now and then to improve my reaction time as well as eye-hand coordination. The game hosts several excellent exercises to maximize efficiency with any firearm-type Wii device so it is worth paying the money over.
All in all, the game makes the Zapper, not the other way around. Get the game but get the Nyko Perfect Shot to compliment the game.
