More of a mini-game or training device for the new Wii Zapper than a full game, Link&amp;rsquo;s Crossbow Training nonetheless delivers some fun, and proves that the Wii Zapper has potential to be a great peripheral for the system.&lt;/p&gt;

The Zapper is designed to feel like a shooting device, and the remote and nunchuk are placed comfortably inside it for controls. Using the Zapper felt very natural. Aiming, shooting, and moving are all done with relative ease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/contributed/1195663455umpR20bLu5.jpg&quot; width=&quot;426&quot; height=&quot;181&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the game itself, though somewhat shallow, it is actually a whole lot of fun. Each level takes you to a different location around Hyrule, where you aim at either targets or actual enemies to rack up points. Simple, yes, but it works well. In addition to the single-player mode, which involves unlocking increasingly difficult levels, there is a fun multiplayer mode. Again, it&amp;rsquo;s relatively straightforward; up to four players take turns on a selected level trying to get the best score. It&amp;rsquo;s also worth noting that Joe got completely owned when he tried to challenge me today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/contributed/1195663438GS1yP2BTJM.jpg&quot; width=&quot;440&quot; height=&quot;324&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By itself, Link&amp;rsquo;s Crossbow Training is almost worth the price. The fact that it comes with the Wii Zapper just makes it even more worth it. I&amp;rsquo;m interested to see what games will be coming out to support it in the future (can we get a new Duck Hunt? Pretty please?). For $25, you&amp;rsquo;re getting a good deal.&lt;/p&gt;
