I work at GameStop and we sell this game- new- for 19.99. Used for 17.99. I think that this is the first time I have seen something on Amazon for more than Game Stop. And we are a corporate company. Corporate people are greedy. This game is no worth more than 19.99. Honest. And in my line of work, I play A LOT of games.

This is a great game for the Wii

I love the target practice game. I am really not the game groupie a lot of people are, but I do love my Wii. This game is easy to play and totally fun. It has many levels of difficulty so no one should get bored with it. The wii is the best pick up this game and the whole family can play

You might find this game a little on the repititive weary side if you are a gamer...

If you are under the age of ten and not a hard core gamer this game may have a chance with you. However I would suggest renting it before you actually buy it.

Unless it is on the bean rack somewhere at your nearest Circuit City or Electronics Boutique for less than 20 bucks it is not going to be part of my collection anytime soon.

Do Not Purchase

My kids are 6 and 8 and after 10 minutes they did not like the game. Its the same old thing over and over again, and if there was ever a game I would like to get my money back this is it - do not purchase. If the company that produced this game had any focus on the market they would never have released such as simple and uneventful game.

One of the worst Wii games out there.

This game is like a flash game you find in the web for free pasted on a Wii game with horrible controls and with a $30-40 price tag.

Fun Simple Game!

I think this game is a wonderful game if you are looking for a simple shooting game that you can just put in and play! Its uncomplicated. I was looking for a game for my 85 year old grandfather to play since he is a hunter and loves to shoot guns. We first purchased the ultimate duck hunting game..but it was too boring and complicated for him to play because you have to call in ducks and train your dog etc. So i was looking for a game that you can just pick up the controller and start shooting at things. He thinks its pretty fun and i am happy with the game! I would recomend it for kids too.

A real dog - don't waste your money

I'm not sure which part is worse, the fact that this is barely a step above Duck Hunt for the original Nintendo system only remade with chickens, or the fact that I wasted $29.99 on it.

I'm not a hard core gamer, but I do like a dose of entertainment and fun with my video games. I'm hooked on the duck shooting gallery in Carnival Games for Wii and that one repetitive game is 100% more fun than this shoddy, cheaply made game. Actually I'd take any of the shooting games in Carnival Games over Chicken Shoot. Even the shooting thing on Wii Play is significantly better and more challenging.

The backgrounds look marginally better than graphics for the N64 platform, the sensory recognition is poor, and the game is tremendously repetitive. After level one, just drop in a different static backdrop and you have level two. The worst part is that it's not even funny. With a name like Chicken Shoot, you'd think there would be some humor or feathers flying, alas there is only aggravation.

Save your money for something fun.

Mindless "In the Zone" Entertainment

If you are looking for a way to unwind, after a busy and stressful day at work and can use a little bit of mindless entertainment, this game is for you or young children.

There are 3 different levels to this game: Easy, Medium & Hard

There are 2 different levels of play: Arcade (not timed) and Classic (timed)

Within the game there are 11 different levels, each with its own theme and accompanying music to match the theme:

1st Level - The Village
2nd Level - The Forrest
3rd Level - Nevada Desert
4th Level - Scandinavia
5th Level - Himalaya
6th Level - Antarctica
7th Level - Rocky Island
8th Level - Sahara
9th Level - Asian Village
10th Level - The Everglades
11th Level - The Final Task

As you complete each level, shooting statistics are displayed with regards to number of shots, hits, % of accuracy, etc.

If your statistics are not high enough, you will not advance to the next level and must start completely over from Level 1.

As chickens fly by or at you, some toss eggs, some do not. Some chickens are carrying suitcases with a picture of either a shotgun, sub-machine gun or gatling gun. In Classic mode (timed) some chickens fly by with a suitcase with a picture of a clock. If you hit the chicken, it will freeze the time for a few seconds allowing you to shoot more chickens.

In the upper left hand corner there is the chicken counter. It basically shows the number of chickens that must be shot prior to clearing the level and moving to the next. Even when the chicken counter goes to zero, you still must clear the residual chickens on the screen. They then come at you in numbers with a full assault of egg throwing.

In Easy mode, it is pretty much near impossible to not complete the entire game. You must be blindfolded to do poorly and in Easy mode all 11 levels can be completed in half an hour. In Medium and Hard mode, the "chickens" are more frequent, faster and the weapons scarce.

This is not a mind stimulating, role playing, first person shooter game. It is simply shoot at the chickens on the screen. Sometimes, the less challenging games are more fun because you can beat the game easily enough and simply have fun just shooting.

If you can pick up this game for $20 or less, it might be worth having a mindlessly fun just aim and shoot Wii game in the stockpile. I am still waiting for the "Shoot the Squirrels off the Bird Feeders" game. Now, that would be fun. :-)

Pleased Mom :o)

I rented this title, as I do with all of them before buying, and my 8 and 13 yr olds LOVE it. We are not even close to being hard core gamers. So this is based on the fact that when asking my 8 yr old to rate this, on a scale of 1-10, he gave it an 80 :o)

They must have played the whole thing through 3 or 4 times before giving up for the day only to start again the next morning. They didn't seem to mind that it doesn't take forever to complete all the levels. If you have young boys who want the thrill of shooting but you are opposed to overly realistic, bloody RPGs like I am, this is good fun. It is somewhat repetative as mentioned by others, but the graphics are Looney Tunes cute and change with each level. They had fun trying to get upgraded guns and added their own sound effects and dialog while playing. I had fun just watching them.

Moral of the story, this is a great game if you are not a heavy game player and want good clean fun. Hope this helps!
