Wow! Where to start? I've been so surprised by these two items that I'm a little overwhelmed!
Firstly, I wasn't even sure during the week whether I was going to get the Wii Zapper, as I was progressing quite happily through Umbrella Chronicles without it. But my mate John was getting one and offered to pick me one up. Plus the bargain price of £20 with Link's Crossbow Training thrown in convinced me.
The Zapper itself is the most impressive peripheral I've ever owned (and I've owned plenty - steering wheels, light guns, fishing rods and even a skateboard peripheral for playing Tony Hawk on!)
For a start, it feels 'weighty' and sturdy like the guns you get on arcade machines. Stylistic and solid, it feels so right to hold. For some reason I can't explain, it enhances the accuracy of shots, which in turn increases the pleasure of gameplay.
Link's Crossbow Training is a revelation! The first Zelda themed game which has truly got me hooked. Somewhere between the Arcade/PS One's "Point Blank", the shooting parts of Wii Play and Twilight Princess, the game is just pure unadulterated fun! So much so, that the usually game-hating Mrs. K can't put the Zapper down! She's actually playing it as we speak!
And there's no higher endorsement that I can think of! I'll put a few "Links" underneath to let you know a bit more...
