Summary: My 3 year old absolutely LOVES this game/controller combo! In fact we use it as a reward for being a good boy! I just wish there were more "kid friendly" Zapper type games out for it. I will tell you that you need to TURN DOWN the sensitivity all the way (in the settings screen) to make it easier to control and more playable. I really see his hand/eye coordination improving every time he plays it and when he does good on certain levels he gets really excited and feels a sense of accomplishment. It comes packed with a really fun game that kids and parents will have fun playing together. A "must buy" if you have a Nintendo Wii system.

Summary: I felt like I was popping quarters into my favorite arcade shooter. I don't know how many younger generation remembers this, but I appreciated Nintendo giving me that experience again on a console game. The release titles aren't spectacular, but the experience is enough for me to look at MOH Heroes 2 and RE Umbrella Chronicles and looking forward to more titles to support this device. Again,thanks.

Summary: This product has the potential, but IMHO falls short in two key areas. The first area is trying to get the cursor anywhere close to where you're trying to aim on any large TV (anything larger than a 40"). Even after maxing out the settings and standing about 6 feet away from the light bar, the cursor was annoyingly nowhere close to where it should be vertically. In most cases, I was forced to aim about 4 inches higher than my intended target. This got old quick. It looked like the only way to get this to work is to stick the light bar smack dab in the middle of the screen. Perhaps Nintendo will provide an upgrade to fix this? PLEASE?!?!?!

The second area is the size. If you've got big hands, you're going to feel very cramped and uncomfortable when you actually need to use the numchuck. In an ideal setup, I probably would add an extra 4 inches between the front and rear grips.

On the good side, the Link's Crossbow Practice game that comes with it is lots of fun! Although it takes forever to figure out how to side step (trust me, it's not intuitive to the traditional FPS gamer).

It's a decent buy for $20, but there's definite room for improvement.

Summary: Overall, the Wii Zapper is everthing I hoped it would be and more. It so easy to use and the game that comes with it turns you into a sharpshooter in minutes. The two handed controls take a few rounds to get use to, but nothing too difficult. The newest games designed for the Zapper should be outstanding with such a great option to build on.

Only small complaints: the unit is a bit heavier than expected when both controls are placed in the case. Also, it is a little annoying to hide the connecting wire within the casing. You dont have to do it if you don't mind the wires sticking out.

Overall - it's awesome.

Summary: For the price of $19.99 (Target) for this is pretty darn good. It comes with a game that is target practice which is kind of fun and helps you get the hang of using the controller. It takes some time to get used to it and adjust the accuracy.. by that I mean the response time of the bullseye cursor. Another fun add on to the Wii.. look forward to more games coming out that will support the Zapper.
