Emo-Iwata Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Link's Crossbow Training NA: November 19th - $19.99 EU: 7th December - €30 (£20) Japan: TBC Players: 1-4 (turn based) Developer: Nintendo EAD Link's Crossbow Training contains three basic game styles: target shooting, defender and ranger. There are 27 stages in total, and these categories represent only generally how each individual stage operates. Each stage's goal is to earn the highest score possible within the time limit. All rounds can be played with multiple players: Players pass the Wii Zapper around and then play one at a time and compete for the high score. Target Shooting: In target-shooting rounds, players shoot bull's-eyes as they pop up on the screen. In early stages, targets are stationary. As the game difficulty increases in later levels, the targets move. Hitting the center of the bull's-eye nets more points, and hitting targets in succession without missing earns combo multipliers. Link can aim anywhere on the screen. Defender: In defender rounds, players remain stationary but can look and aim in all directions – sometimes even in a full 360 degrees – by aiming off screen. Hordes of enemies assault Link, and he must fight them off. These battles have a great deal of variety, from fighting off skeletons in a desert to defending a wagon from boar-riding Bokoblins. Ranger: In ranger rounds, players can move throughout the level using the control stick and aim anywhere they want by aiming the Wii Zapper wherever they want to look. In these missions, Link storms enemy encampments, fights his way through a forest and seeks out his foes while exploring the environments. Racking up a high enough score across the three separate stages will clear the way for you to progress to the next level, with accuracy the key as you try to build up your points. Higher scores are awarded when you notch up a run of direct hits without wasting an arrow, and it’s also worth letting loose on your surroundings to smash jars, skulls and barrels that might contain hidden bonus items. Your job will be made easier if you manage to take down green glowing targets and pick up the automatic crossbow – a quick-fire alternative to your standard weapon.

Emo-Iwata Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Gamespot review http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/linkscr...tml?sid=6183202 As long as you don't expect more than a short but sweet shooting game, you'll be pleased with what Link's Crossbow Training has to offer. It's good enough that you might find yourself thinking of the Zapper as the bonus pack in. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
