- 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.
Rating: - 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.

- Great gun & great game!
The gun is of good design to fit both the remote & nunchuk - the game is great fun, many different levels & a practice mode - and even once completed - there's always the carrot of getting platinum medals on all levels. Well worth the money !
Rating: - Lots of fun, except for the gun
The zapper itself is solid and feels like it's made of good quality materials. It's cleverly designed as well, keeping the nunchuck lead snugly wrapped up in the rear handle, where it contributes to the weight and balance of the zapper. Like other people who have reviewed it, however, I think that the two-handle design feels a bit awkward, regardless of whether you have your right hand at the front on the trigger, or at the back on the nunchuck stick. I find that my arms and hands ache after using it for about 30 minutes, because you have to bend your elbows-in and wrists-out to keep your hands in-line on the two handles.
The best part of this package is the game, Link's Crossbow Training: ironic since it's a pretty simple collection of mini shooting games. But how much fun it is! Like the `shoot the balloons' game in Wii Play, the games are very short and formulaic, with enemies or targets appearing in the same formations each time. Also like shoot-the-balloons, you get score multipliers if you continue to rack up consecutive hits. This is the beauty of the game: the games are so short, the urge to have `just one more go' to beat your high score is irresistible. Each level is made up of three sub-games, and to beat your target score you have to be good on all of them, meaning that the urge to replay is even greater when you know that you had a bad time on just one of the levels. Before you know it, an hour has been frittered away! The authors have helpfully included practice stages where you can hone your skills on any stage of any unlocked level. Although the game is very short and you will have unlocked all the stages in an hour or two, the replay value is immense because of the urge to beat your high score and to find all the hidden goodies when you shoot other parts of the scenery on each level.
Like Mario Kart and its wheel, Link's Crossbow Training is far better to play when you don't bother with the zapper, and play it using the normal remote + nunchuck method. If the zapper came without the game, I probably would not recommend it, but the game alone is well worth the asking price!
Rating: - Fun ,Easy to settup- 5 Language Game- so you can buy abroad!,
Zapper can Also be used for Resident Evil:Umbrella,Chronicles
Just to let you know this is a 5 language game :
English, German,French,Spanish, Italian.
So if you prefer to play in one of the other languages simply change your Wii console setting to default English,German,French,Spanish, or Italian , game will then play in that language. If you buy (like many have Wii Fit,Mario Kart from de or fr - will also work)
It is good clean fun. This is really a target practice game, each level has 3 different types of targets. It is in theory a simply game, however hitting moving targets as then fall down a water full(1 example) is not as each as you may think. You also have to find & shoot Spiders, some still hidden in the trees in cocoons..eeek.
The Zapper Included can used for other games, it is a great accessory , so taking that in to account the game itself though short is really quite cheap!!

For Manual- Check out Nintendo.com and choose the country you want & look for manual (sadly USA site for this product only has English games manual, though for many of other their product they often have french & spanish versions)
