Link's Crossbow Training (Nintendo Wii)
Posted Image
Rated “T” for “Teen”

Coming packaged free with Nintendo’s Wii Zapper is Link’s Crossbow Training. A game set in Hyrule where Link forgoes the Master Sword in favor of a crossbow…maybe one too many fairies floating around in someone’s head. Guess Link has been through a lot in one year.

There isn’t much to this “game.” You have 3 modes of play: Score Attack, Multiplayer, and Practice. Of course Practice isn’t a true mode of play, but more like training…for your training.

And in the little you have to choose from you also have a little variety of game types.

- Shooting targets/enemies while on a rail.

- Shooting enemies coming at you from all sides while staying stationary.

- Shooting enemies while going through familiar dungeons.

They vary up the types of targets and enemies to take down and keep true to the theme of Twilight Princess. But once you’ve played each type of shooting gallery, you know what to expect throughout the rest. Each stage lasts about 60 seconds and there are 3 levels per stage. 3 minutes multiplied by 9 stages is a good half-hour. Not much crossbow action.

Link’s training with a crossbow is a great way to show off how the new Wii Zapper works. But as always with most Wii games, if you really don’t have mileage with the Wiimote then you may run into some difficulty with this game and others. Even though the Wii Zapper props your Wiimote to feel more like a gun (or in this case, a crossbow), you have to get used to how your cursor flies through your screen. The Wii Zapper serves as a great guide to feel more natural while shooting.

As for the game itself…it serves more as a demo. No story, no princess to save, no true tasks to do other than shooting things that appear on screen. It’s short, it’s simple, it works. If you want to blow off steam and just shoot stuff, this is for you.

One question Arnell, how many DS and Wii games do you own? Cause it seems to me like you play almost every game Nintendo releases and i'm thinking "where does he find the time?",
