Wanted a new shooter that came with it's own gun peripheral. The Top Shot Wii sawed off shotgun peripheral worked well once I got the right configuration selected from the options. The game controls are very intuitive and the first few levels of the game that I have played through have proven enjoyable enough without being too difficult. The continue is a great help whenever you come to an untimely demise and being pretty much of a pacifist, I find the action fairly comfortably paced. Someone who is pickier about constant action, high intensity and challenge from a first person shooter, probably would find this a bit of a yawner, but as a recreational hunting simulation it definitely satisfies. Of course there is the familiar problem with occasional invisible walls, but from what I've seen in video reviews of other hunting games, it is fairly minimal. The multiplayer is reminiscent of Deer Drive with a lot larger variety of animals. I have had gamers between the age of 10 to 74 play this game and it appeals to all age groups.

Wii version looks muddy graphic-wise but shooting with the shotgun that comes with the game is a serious blast. <br />plus the Wii has 13 shooting galleries, in addition to the career mode, were you try to blow away as many animals as possible in a time limit. <br />As far as any other issues in the game i would only mention that navigating in the main career mode can be a little tricky, <br />i kept on running into cliff walls, trees, and looking up at the sky, you gotta swing the shotgun every time you want to look around. <br />all in all, i'm giving this game 3 stars just because the graphics look so horrible compared to the other next gen versions. gameplay is great. <br />I picked up the Top Shot bundle on sale for $[...], wouldn't really pay more than that for it.

As far as any other issues in the game i would only mention that navigating in the main career mode can be a little tricky,

i kept on running into cliff walls, trees, and looking up at the sky, you gotta swing the shotgun every time you want to look around.

all in all, i’m giving this game 3 stars just because the graphics look so horrible compared to the other next gen versions. gameplay is great.

It has 2 modes of play - one where you go on "missions" seeking out certain animals, sneaking through cover and getting points and medals based on how well you shoot. The second mode of play is a shooting gallery, where the animals just run across the screen and you try to shoot as many of them as you can. Think of the Big Buck Hunter arcade game that they have in some bars. I enjoyed the missions, but I've pretty much already beat the game - didn't take too long. The shooting gallery is fun if you have friends over and just want to shoot alot. The shooting gallery is multi-player, but you're not shooting at the same time - you take turns and it compares the score. <br /> <br />I really like the big orange shotgun and think it works well. Gives you more of a "Big Buck Hunter" arcade game feel. Controls are fairly intuitive. The trigger is actually up on the barrel, and the scope button is where the trigger should be, which took a second to figure out, but actually works well. I unlocked a bunch of guns while playing in the Mission mode, but I have no idea how to use them or where to find them. <br /> <br />This is the frist hunting game I've bought for my wii, so I can't really compare it to any others. However, I like it and my guy friends like to stop by and shoot stuff with me. Good fun and $40 is reasonable, although its not a long or complicated game.

The bundle is the best value. $[...] for the gun and game. You can't beat that. It is well worth the money too. I've had more fun playing this than tiger woods 2010 and some of the other games I have. It is about hunting but there is not a lot of blood and gore so even though I wouldn't recommend it for kids. I can't see an issue with them playing it. I like how you have to find signs like tracks, droppings and scent markings, places for cover to get better scores. I've played this game for about 4hrs and I've only gone about half way through it. I still have plenty of missions to do over again so I can get a gold medal. The replayability is high.
