Default -τΥ Alex Stewart Review Υτ- -=Wii Zapper=-

Hi, this is my first ever review and I have decided to do it about the Wii Zapper.

Price= £19.99
Make= Nintendo

Info
The Wii Zapper is a holder for your Wiimote and Nunchuk that makes it easier for you to use 1st person shooter games. The Wii Zapper comes with a bonus game- Links Crossbow Training a 1st person target shooting game. Overall the Wii Zapper is a strong and fun piece of kit and for £19.99 its a pretty good bargain.

Value= 9/10
Fun= 7/10
Usefullness= 8/10
Overall= 8/10

Overall
The Wii Zapper is a decent piece of kit although it may not suit everyone thats why its been given 8/10 a pretty good score but only really worth buying if your planning on getting other Wii Zapper games.

Keep checking for my next review which will be on the Wii Wheel!

*ahem* 4 thankyou (see sig) but that's not the point - the more reviews the more balenced it is for someone who hasn't used one.

While a decent first attempt a bit more detail would be useful - what did you think of how it felt and why etc, any problems or downsides you could see (why didn't it get full marks basically). Keep it up though, good to see someone making the effort!

Yeah, totally agree with ed on this one. Reviews are personal opinion so there is never going to be a limit of how many times the same thing can be reviewed by different people

Fair enough, I just thought 4 was maybe a bit excessive in this case

It feels cheap, as of now there isn't a single wii game whereby when you use it, you'll benefit and basically it's just meh. For £20, arguably you can't really go wrong, but to be honest, theres a fair few 3rd party efforts which look more user friendly and don't feel cheap, although once again for £20 what do you really expect.

6/10 - Considering Nintendo milked it in the 6 months prior to its release for all its worth, it should've been so much better.
