A very dumb game

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.

If you are looking for a game (Wii) for a non-gamer this is it.

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).

Worst Wii Game Ever

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.

This is an easy fun for the little ones game hard core gamers stay away

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

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.

A good concept...in theory

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.

LAME

If you have a single brain cell and a memory problem you will love this game. Your single cell will enjoy the one button action and your memory problem will hide the fact that you have been shooting at the same five chickens for duration of the game. Which is endless.
You may also like this game if you are accustomed to sitting on the porch in a rocking chair with a shotgun in hand ready to shoot varmints.
Overall, simply the worst game ever released.

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.

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.
