Overshadowed by the chronic shortage of Wiis during the past Christmas season was the release of Wii Zapper — the $20 (£20 in UK) molded-plastic accessory that turns your Wii Remote and Nunchuk into a rudimentary light gun. A number of new Wii games have been optimized for use with the Zapper, including Link's Crossbow Training, which comes bundled with each Zapper sold.
Link's Crossbow Trainin — Like Wii Sports the game included with every Wii console — this Zelda-inspired collection of mini-games is the best of the bunch, not only because it's free, but also because of its simple, enjoyable, and easy-to-control gameplay. The premise is simple: you (playing as Link) must take out a variety of moving targets, including sword-wielding skeletons and fireball-throwing goblins.
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, on the other hand, misses its mark. It is what gamers call a ''rail shooter,'' meaning you have no control of the game's direction — your character is like a car in a amusement-park funhouse ride, with zombies and creepy crawlies popping up every now and then. Umbrella Chronicles takes a stab at a plot, but it's nothing you haven't seen before in any of the few thousand Resident Evil games you've played in the past.
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is the most complete of the Zapper offerings (although it can be played without the accessory). The latest installment in EA's long-running WWII combat franchise, Heroes 2 is a full-fledged game, featuring both story and arcade modes, as well as online multiplayer action with up to 32 players — a first for a Wii game. You also have full freedom of movement — a big plus when you're trying to blow away all of the goose-stepping bad guys Heroes 2 throws at you.
