Duck Hunt

Who can forget Duck Hunt? The game that shared an NES cartridge with Super Mario is a piece of video game history.

The player had the choice of playing to shoot (with the NES "zapper") one duck, two ducks, or clay pellets. If the player chose to shoot the ducks, then you would see the cartoon dog, added in for much needed comic effect. The action became faster and faster as the player climbed the levels.

They need to bring back this classic game for Game Cube!

This was perhaps the very first game utlilizing the Light gun with Ninendo console. Basically you could shoot at the ducks by aiming and pointing the gun at your TV screen. Gameplay is pretty limited and as level progress, the ducks become faster and more agile and more numerous as well but thats it. Despite the very limited offering in gameplay, this game was indeed a somewhat accurate test of aiming skill. The Dog in this game was pretty annoying and very memorable for that reason. Too bad you could never shoot the dog itself. This game can get pretty monotenous and boring after a while. In the area dominated by newer games, it would be quickly abandoned.

Player 2 could control the ducks. But the real fun was the clay pigeons, and then the competition. It was a single player game, but it was always the competition that made it fun.

Just trying to beat your dad's score... or uncles, or friends, or siblings, the crown of out shooting someone, with a cord that had to be stretched back as far as it would go to count.

It was a classic.

This is one of the first video games I have ever played. In this game, you have to shoot at birds. If you miss one, a dog jumps out of the bushes and start laughing at you. If you didn't miss, the dog will hold up the bird that you shot down. You can choose to shoot at one or two birds at the same time. I would warn you the game gets harder, when you reach a higher level.

I give this game 7 out of 10

Seriously. This is probably the most boring NES game I have ever played. It beats out Yoshi's Cookie for one of the worst Nintendo games made. You basically shoot ducks with the gun thing, boring. If I wanted a light gun game type of thing I'd buy House Of The Dead 2 & 3 Return on the Wii or just go to Funtime America and play classic gun games such as CarnEvil and The House Of The Dead. This game is overrated and very very boring. I only recommend this to people wanting to waste their lives away, unless you're just playing for pure nostalgia, which I have none for this game.

1.5/10 or: F+
