 A very dumb game July 8, 2007

I rarely write reviews on Amazon, but I feel so ripped off by this game that I have to speak up. This game is boring, pointless, and unimaginative. I regret my purchase. It has neither the elegance and simplicity of a target-practice game, nor the sophistication and excitement of a role-playing game. Do yourself a favor and skip this dud.
 This is an easy fun for the little ones game hard core gamers stay away August 8, 2007

Ok this is a very simple game it is basically a point and shoot game.It is very simple and reminds me of the flash games you play at work when your bored at work.I bought this and played it with my 10 year-old daughter she likes it and enjoys it .If you are a hard core gamer you will hate this game as its very simple and easy to play.
It is worth it for kids under 12 i would say but over 12 i would not recomend it is a fun little game and if you can find it used for 20 bucks like i did it is worth it.But brand new i would not recomend for 30 bucks
Worst Wii Game Ever July 29, 2007

This game is a complete and total waste of time and money. It reminds me of a shareware program that you can pick up for free on the internet, or even at Big Lots for 99 cents.
In other words, if you are lucky enough to own a Wii, pass on this game. I give it a 0 out of 5 stars.
 If you are looking for a game (Wii) for a non-gamer this is it. July 22, 2007

I bought this game for my girlfriend who incidentally thinks that MSN Games are the greatest thing to hit the internet besides MySpace. She loves it, and to be honest it isn't that bad. Don't get me wrong, I would rather play Battlefield 2142, or Resistance Fall of Man any day of the week. The game play is very repetitive, the graphics are ok, the best part about this game is that my girlfriend and I get to spend some time together. I would recommend that this title is a rent, and then maybe a buy (if your bf/gf likes it).
A good concept...in theory November 11, 2007

The main reason I purchased this game was the mention on the case of an egg-catching mini-game. An arcade puzzle game from the 80's titled 'Chicken Shift', and my fruitless search to find said game again for the next 20 years, immediately sprung to mind. So I shelled out $30 for 'Chicken Shoot' and was on my way back to my trailer for some beer-swillin', chicken-shootin', egg-catchin', hootin' and hollerin' good times. Or so I thought.
I popped the game in my Wii and while the lackluster graphics were an immediate red flag, I reassured myself that I've already spent more money on worse-looking games for the Wii.
My first mission was to hunt down the egg-catching mini-game, which turned out to be nothing like my beloved 'Chicken Shift' (strike #2 and I hadn't even had the disc in for 2 minutes) It seemed to automatically toggle between being overly-sensitive to non-responsive - a trait which rendered the egg-catching portion of the game completely useless to me. Then logic mode kicked in and I had to ask myself, why the farmer was even going through the trouble of catching the eggs when he's just going to shoot them after they hatch?!?
So I moved on to the shooting portion, which is the alleged meat and bones of this game - figuratively speaking. Here you have the same chickens repeatedly juxtaposed onto different backgrounds. The mannerisms of the chickens distinctly remind me of the Whammy animations from the 80's game show 'Press Your Luck'. Can anyone say cheezy?!?
Suppose you pick off the chicken washing her laundry on the bottom of the screen. If you move elsewhere on the same level, the same laundry-washing chicken re-appears in the same spot where you had just shot her. Annoying. They could at least vary what pops up in a particular space.
The only thing that really varies in the game other than the cheap middle school play backdrops which change from level to level, is the different style weapons which you get to use. I didn't play long enough to figure out how I managed to get other weapons or why some weapons lingered around for a while and others disappeared after firing six rounds. It would have been nice if you could work your way up to even more ridiculously overpowered weapons such as cannons and flame-throwers, but since this game isn't very well thought out to begin with, I guess I can't expect much.
I did wind up playing this for about a half hour in order to give it a chance, but it gets old really quick. The graphics, audio and just about everything else seems not only dated, but below sub-standard, if that's even possible. This is supposed to be a 'next generation' console - I wish the game developers for the Wii would give us some titles that are worthy of the phrase.
