If you are looking for an intense, thinking, gaming experience, then this isn't it. But, if you want to just have some fun shooting and winding down after a long day, then, this is a great game for you. I love it and have now bought 2 more for friends who love it. Yes, all you do is shoot chickens, hence the name of the game. You progress through various levels of the farm, gaining different weapons and conquering the final challenge quest to get to the next level. Very much recommend purchasing with the Chicken Blaster gun. Adds to the fun. A great game at the end of the day. Is it silly, absurd, and mindless - yes. But is it also a lot of laughs and fun as chickens attack you - Absolutely. I have seen it enjoyed by both kids and adults. Easy to pick up and play. Only thing that isn't well explained, is when you achieve all the kills for that section, the count shield at the bottom changes to an icon that is supposed to be the nunchuk joystick knob. Press it forward to move to the next section.

This game looks silly but my 3 kids enjoy playing it and for the price (less than $6) I couldn't pass it up. Glad I bought it.

If you're looking for pointless fun this is your game but the graphics are so lame. Just relax and shoot away

I bought this game to play thinking that it would exciting. I spent 10 minutes just shooting at chickens and going from one section of "the barn" to another and that was it. There is no imagination to this game whatsoever. The birds just pop up kinda like a time warp and you have to aim and shoot.

I am definately getting rid of this game. I don't even think my 4 year old would enjoy this game.

game came fast and is alot of fun to play and can be addictive.My son loves using the gun to shoot the chickens.

fun but gets old fast great for younger kids just point and shoot. Wouldn't spend more than $5 on this game though.

I was quite disappointed with this game.

First, the controller that they give you places the trigger way up at the front of the barrel. Even people who don't know anything about rifles know that the trigger should be way at the back where the butt stock is. I quickly chose to replace their orange shotgun with my Nyko Perfect Shot. When I saw the orange shotgun on the box, I thought that the pump would work to reload the weapon by sliding against the B button. And you would fire the trigger by pressing the button on the Nunchuck. Nope.

The gameplay is surprisingly bad. It is completely unthrilling to fire the weapon. There is zero kick or jumping of the recticle. The sound effect is not great. It is difficult to see the effect of your weapon such as a blast of light or damage. You don't even see your weapon on screen. Just a floating reticle which shows absolutely zero change when you pull the trigger.

The chicken's materialize out of thin air. Sometimes they fly in from the side but they also teleport in on a transporter in front of you. And there are so many of them it looks like a wasp nest got angry. They don't move fluidly but change directions in a jerky fashion. When they are shot, they fall slowly so they continue to clutter up the screen and I am not sure right away if I even hit them.

For some reason, when you have killed enough chickens on the current screen, you have to push the forward button for the game to take over and advance you to the next level. You don't use the joystick to dodge (which makes too much sense) but you have to drag your targeting reticle to the left or right extremes to dodge. Why??

The first boss was thrilling. I shot at him with him acting in no sense of pain and the only evidence that I was damaging him was his depleting life meter. He would hurl green eggs at me and move left and right to the pace of a metronome. Shooting bottles around him would produce a shattering noise and they would move in slow motion but they wouldn't shatter or anything.

To top it off, the graphics aren't even cute. They are just bland and bad. Ugh!

I'm only done with the second world and I doubt I'll finish the game. Very boring and not at all what I expected. I give it two stars because I imagine some kids might derive fun from shooting squawking chickens so maybe my hopes were set too high for this bland shoot em up.

I rarely review anything but I just had to let everyone know just how bad this game is so no one else gets ripped off. I love shooters but this game is literally just pointless shooting at the screen. I was bored with the game one minute in. Do not get this game it is a complete waste of time and money. I wish I could get a refund...

I got this game used for less than $5 with shipping. It's not a very good game, but since it's lame to get a game system with just one game, I bought it to bulk up a gift package for my sister. It did the job. It made it look like there were more games.

This game was enjoyed by boys ages 7,9,11, and their father. It was a gift and I have never seen it played so I cannot report on the content.
