Chicken Shoot is, put simply, a game featuring a lot of chickens that have to be shot, and you're the one who's going to put them out of everyone's misery. And believe me true that I can't make it any more simple than that. Oh, go on, then. It's not just chickens, but there are planes and other things that fly or walk across your screen which

It's like the old Operation Wolf arcade game, but without the guns in which you can shoot things with style. However, there's a similar level of challenge at times as the enemy just walks straight into your sights and waits for you to split their brain in two.


cover Starting wth the graphics, they're not much to shout about. It's bog-standard 2D all the way and looks as basic as the images show. And if you're wondering what's down there at the bottom, it's actually you as the farmer, occasionally looking up to laugh heartedly as you blast the enemy into next week, but in these particular shots it looks like... to be as polite as possible... a woman's private parts showing pink!

The sound effects are even less to champion and the gameplay is simply dull. Things fly across, you shoot them - sometimes requiring a few hits rather than one to bring them down, and it's goodnight Vienna. In fact, it won't be too long before it's goodnight to Chicken Shoot, especially since playing this on the DS feels like Operation Wolf did in the ZX Spectrum as all you could do was press up/down/left/right and hit fire after hoping your cursor slowly got there in time...

All that said, this is a game aimed for those of "3+", as per the front cover, but even still, whereas on the Wii this will probably have a bit more longevity since you can point and shoot the Wiimote... there are still far more interesting things to play on either platform.
