These Zapper guns came in clear plastic bags with no paperwork but the packaging is unimportant anyways. These guns are extremely helpful with Link's Crossbow Training and Goldeneye 007, as well as many other games I am sure. It makes one's shot steadier plus it is fun. I will advise you however that not all knock off Wii-motes will fit. I have a Nyko Wii mote that is too big for the trigger button on the zapper to reach the B button. Luckily, all I have to do to make it fin is take off the battery cover. Others may not be so lucky.

At first I was very suspicious of this item. The reviews say it is just two gun attachments in a bag without instructions. Well, you do not need instructions for them because it is very easy to understand how to attach the wii controller to it. I was playing Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles with it, and it really does improve the experience. You can let the nunchuk hang freely to be used by your other hand, or you can remove a cover on the bottom of the "gun" and move the Nunchuk cord through it and attach on the back side. It depends on the game you're playing.

I think, as others said in their reviews, the plastic might feel cheap, but I held in in my hands, tested it and it causes no problems at all. It is not shiny, like the genuine Wii products. It does not bend easily, nor is it fragile. For the price I got it for (currently $6.50 for package of 2) cannot be beat. There are no functional drawbacks in this gun accessory.

So I've tried playing various first person shooters on Wii without the zapper, I'm a firm believer in mouse and keyboard, so I was skeptical before playing. Without the zapper, I've spent 15 minutes max trying to pretend I was enjoying myself. I ordered these zappers because they are dirt cheap, and hoped that just having a single unit in the hands that games would gain some sense of control. Still not the case, FPS games on the Wii are just awful. Games that use gun controllers that people love; Duck Hunt, Terminator 2, VirtuaCop, Silent Scope, these are all games on rails and that's why it's enjoyable to have some sort of toy gun in your hands because you can worry just about the shooting. To me it just doesn't translate well because if an enemy is behind you, you need to focus on one side of the screen and you're at the mercy of the game to turn you as fast as it allows you to turn. So a lot of my issues with this zapper is there is no games I've played that make it useful. My other problem with the guns is the build quality. The amount of flex in them makes me feel like they'll snap easily. I'm not using some ultra tight kung-fu grip and trying to twist it to death, it's just the nature of the thin plastic they''re made out of. My second issue is the clip on the back of the gun. One of them opened up to clasp the nunchuck cord without issue. The second one it simply wouldn't budge so I had to use a screw driver. I don't see them surviving a couple dozen open and closes without something breaking. Overall the zapper is mediocre because the quality reflects the amount you pay, and the amount of Wii games that make these enjoyable seems to be non-existent.

Title review says it all. i received these promptly and was impressed with the quality. i will reccomend these to other people.

A knock-off of the Nintendo Zapper but seems to work just the same. Been using mine for a few weeks now with no problems.

I thought this might be a bust since it was so cheap for two of these controllers. But I was really pleasantly surprised when I received the controllers. They are sturdy and easy to use and they have made my goldeneye so much easier. Also I had no problems with fitting my Nyko knock off wand and nunchuck. This is my first review since normally I don't feel its worth my time...but in this case I stand by this product.

I don't know first hand if they feel any different from the official wii zappers but they work great and for the price it's a steal. They really do make a difference when playing shooting games, you seem to have more control to where you're aiming. Everything fits perfectly in place and it feels great. Only thing is if you dont have offical nintendo wii controllers or nunchucks they might not fit as well. I have a nunchuck i bought at 5 below and its too big for the nunchuck spot but that's a given. I highly recommend this product.

Very good deal considering the price. Note that these guns are not genuine, look cheesy but dirt cheep. Shipping was prompt. I like this product.

We were very pleased with this product. Sometimes when you order a non-name brand item, you worry about how it will live up to the original. So far, so good. We haven't experienced any problems, and this is reported after a 32-hour Modern Warfare 3 marathon.

I didn't have high expectations for these guns. The price was right though so I took a chance. I wasn't expecting super quality, but they're decent for plastic. We've played them for hours and have had a blast with both Arcade shooting and Cabela's Big Game Hunter. It's easier to shoot with these, and feels slightly more realistic. If you want a real-gun feel, go to a real shooting range with a real gun. Otherwise, expect these to feel plastic and a little loose.
