Chicken Shoot (Wii, 2007)

Hi, you are looking at a good game for the Nintendo Wii. Notice how I said good, and not great. There are a few complaints about this game to keep it from getting a 5 out of 5. This game did come close to getting a 3, but the humor, and the multiplayer saved the score.

Let me list the good parts of this game, and there are a lot of good parts. I am from the old generation and remember how new & exciting Duck Hunt was. You had the light gun, but could not kill Krypto the Super Dog. The beagle must have been from Krypton, because the bullets never affected him. This game is better than Duck Hunt, but not by that much. In this game you have to shoot Chickens. The game gives you a variety of ways to do so. A shot gun, machine gun, pistol & riffle. There are a number of Chickens you must shoot before your ammo Or time runs out (it depends on what game mode you are in) If you master the level, you move to a different level, and you get different scenery and new items to shoot. Every Chicken you shoot will do something different. Some will even throw eggs at you to block your view. Multiplayer is the best part of this game, but if you play by yourself it can get kind of boring. This game will also save your high scores. This game DOES NOT require the Wii Chuck.

Now for the bad parts. Even though it is funny to shoot the chickens. It can get repetitive. If you do not have another person to play this game with, you will be bored quickly with this game. The last problem is, this game was made for the casual gamer, but there is NO way to save your progress. I only get to level 4 of this game, and then I quit, because it takes up too much time.

I hope this review was helpful to you, but if it wasn't please keep in mind it took me longer to write the review than it took you to read it.

I bought this item for Grandpa who is a chicken farmer and recently purchased a wii. This was a perfect gift for him, paired with the gun holder available just about anywhere.

The game is just what it says it is. You shoot chickens, they are everywhere, so much so they'll even run into the screen and slide down in front of you. The audio is pretty funny. There are some chickens who throw eggs at you and have the potential to egg up your screen. We killed about 2 hours between 4 of us playing in rotation. There is another game you can play where you catch eggs as the chickens drop em. We may have not completely understood, but it seemed rather pointless to play that...
I dont see this being a game someone picking up and playing more than a handful of times, but it is like shooting fish in a barrel and worth a laugh or two.

If you are looking to puchase this game - here is the longand short of it. This is a very basic very easy shooting game. It is NOT adult oriented by any means. However I (a 36 year old mom) and my husband and even my mom enjoy playing it with or without the kids. This is basically a shooting game where you shoot every chicken you see. That is it. There are several levels. Two player is actually more fun as you are shooting at the same chickens and you can "snipe" the other players chickens. It is stress relieving and fun on a basic level. Great for kids, seniors, or just someone wanting some mindless stress relief.

As long as you do not expect any more than that you will not be disappointed in this game. It is very simple and simply entertaining.

I bought this game as our first Wii shooting game because it looked like it'd be funny and entertaining. The game is very dull - boring even. My 7 year old son likes it because the chickens are funny looking and just because he gets to shoot them, but I think he will get bored fairly quickly if he plays it often. I think it's fine for younger kids (if you get it cheap) who haven't played a shooting game before; but anybody else will be completely bored after 5 minutes. The scene doesn't change and the chickens pop up in the same place and order every 2-3 minutes. Not the greatest...

This game is described as if it were for adults. The description of the evil chickens is funny to have made me think it would be wicked fun, which it is not.

It's not an arcade game in the classic sense as you have to move around the screen to the left and right in search of chickens to shoot. I would have preferred a non-moving screen and chickens that run across it.

There is a grandma chicken knitting, which you hardly want to shoot, and a bunch of other stupid chicken images to shoot at. We played for about 5 minutes and hated it.

Looking for a fun, interesting game? Keep looking!
