  1. It’s an accessible and easy-to-master Wii game, providing simplistic gameplay and a neat art style. It’s certainly not "Call of Duty," but on the Wii that may be a good thing.
  2. Chicken Shoot is like Duck Hunt for idiots.

    It's got less meat than any McNugget and it doesn't even taste good – plus, it'll cost you about $30, which equates to about a dollar for every minute you'll spend with it.
  4. Hint: There are many good flash-based games out there that you can play for free; just go to their website through the Wii's Internet browser!
  5. The problem is that Chicken Shoot isn’t $5.
  6. Wii owners should avoid this game like chickens avoid Col. Sanders.
  7. As a Virtual Console release or a tech demo for a bigger project, Chicken Shoot might’ve been iffy – possibly Ok, if it were a buck or two. But as a full title on a Wii disc, it can barely compete with games released 10 years ago, let alone what we have today.

    The target game in Wii Play is miles better and more challenging. [Oct 2007, p.69]
  9. Chicken Shoot doesn’t have anything going for it that would make it remotely recommendable to anyone. Avoid it like you would a chicken carrying SARS.

    Art is ok, but gameplay is too simplistic. There are a variety of modes of difficulty, but you do the same thing over and over again. And theArt is ok, but gameplay is too simplistic.
