Videogamer Give Link's Crossbow Training: 5/10

Videogamer writes:

"There's something undeniably cheap about the Wii Zapper. When you hold it in your hands you're taken back to the days when all you needed to have fun were a few toy guns, make-shift bandannas and some commando rolls in mud. Add an extra 50p to the budget and you'd have water guns, making the danger all the more real. The problem with the Wii Zapper is that it offers none of the fun of these cheap play things, but sadly all the cheapness."

5 / 10

Dark Sniper would like to encourage everyone to boycott games such as Link's Crossbow Training. The Nintendo Wii is an insult to true gamers who pour their blood,sweat and tears into their controller. How long will gamers continue to support the garbage known as the Gamecube update?

Dark Sniper wants all gamers to take a stand and abolish the Wii as it's an insult to all of your history of gaming.

Don't be an idiot, Dark Sniper.

BTW, talking in third-person doesn't make you sound clever.

why even make reviews for Wii games?? casual (dumb) gamers (which are like 80-90% of Wii owners) will buy just any game...

Edit: bootsielon so do you think there is anything smart about buying games without reading reviews, to just pick up any game? and to pay for some couple of minigames a full price? therefor i used the horrible word dumb... ;)

No the Wii is not an insult to gaming. Gamers who feel they are better gamers for buying more expensive consoles insult true gamers.

5 - Insulting?

Honestly, if you are insulted by a game system it's probably time to retire as a gamer or at least re-evaluate why you are a gamer in the first place. I've never been insulted by movies, books, or music either, maybe I'm the weird one who doesn't take these things so seriously.

I play games to have fun, all game systems have that capacity. The Wii caters very well to a very large audience for a very good reason, with or without you being happy about it.

Then again, maybe I'm a "fake" gamer. ;)

6.1 - So.......

Let me see if I understand you here.

The gaming world has no place for salvaging of old franchises to cater to fans and casual players?

Mario party's 10th iteration is bad because it sold more copies than your favorite high production cost game(s)?

FIFA 08 is a casual game because the PS3 version outsold the 360 version? (nevermind the fact that the 360 is popular in the U.S. where soccer is not, and the rest of the world eats, drinks, and breathes soccer, where the PS3 is doing well)

I distinctly remember knowing that the Wii wasn't going to be that drastic of a difference in graphics before it launched. If this was insulting to you, you had ample time to know about it and make an informed decision to not purchase it.

"most of us are tired of them old franchises." Who is this "us" you are speaking of, and would it include the mario party 10 buyers you listed above?

I'm confused sir, you say that if a hardcore gamer buys both a Wii and one of the other systems they are hurting what again?

As a long time video game collector, I currently have a PS3 and a Wii as well as 30+ other older systems, and I'm not hurting anything or anyone by having any of them. I get the best of both worlds and have fun with each. I'm the consumer, have been a game consumer for 20+ years. I do not feel obligated to buy a game just because it has a large production cost or gets good review scores from professional reviewers or even if it's made by my 'favorite' developer. Yes I am more likely to purchase a game if it's getting good word of mouth, but not always and not blindly. I buy games that I think I will find fun.

I happen to think that this game is really fun. Its purpose isn't to be hours upon hours exploring a world or dungeon, its purpose is to just relax, have some fun and shoot some targets while at it. People are so F****** cynical these days.
