    Woefully overpriced and not a great experience.

    $50 game with a $40 controller holder. I was woefully disappointed. The aiming mechanism is just terrible and keeps uncalibrating itself. In fact, when we first started the game, I couldn't even aim on 1/3 of the screen. The graphics aren't great, the gameplay gets old very quickly, and the interface could use some work. The game also sometimes require you to press the inside buttons on the controllers, which you can't do with the controllers seated inside the gun/holder, and they're not easy to get out, which makes the game even more frustration. Would not recommend.

    The gun sensor was off by a mile and was really hard to aim making the game nearly impossible to play. It’s honestly not worth the price. It could have been executed better but the concept was good.

    Terrible game, horrible controls, purchased the game so my boys could have a duck hunt experience like I did as a kid. The control isn’t accurate so it’s hard to aim and the game wouldn’t be a good purchase as a free app. Super repetitive and not engaging. This was a money trap using the control as a gimmick no effort was put into the making of this game.

    Have to put in Tilt Mode

    I was about to return it because my son was aiming on the ground to shoot. I read about the 3 modes. If using the Gun, put into Tilt mode. Since we did this, the gun aims exactly where is should. The instructions left all of that out, and it should be easier to pick on the home screen.

    This game is sooooo boring. That being said- my 4 year old loves it. I would say it’s a waste on anyone older. And the gun accessory was a waste because the aim was waayyy off with it. We took the joy cons back out and just held them. Overall we felt it was a waste of money.

    Really, Really Bad

    This was a pretty shoddy game. The graphics were extremely basic, and the flappy bird game was not enjoyable to play. Aiming the gun at the TV was very challenging (all attempts at calibration were ineffective), and after a few rounds I had to point the gun at the floor in order to be able to shoot at the screen. I was hoping this would be a fun game to play with my son, but after a few minutes of misery, we put it away. Don't waste your money on this game!

    It was okay I liked the concept of it and how it brings back memories of duck hunt but the aim is way off and can’t seem to get it to synchronize well with the motion of the control and aiming point to match up together no matter what adjustments I do to it but overall I’m not as excited to play it anymore as much as I was before I played it due to the delay on aiming and shooting.

    This is the very first truly awful Nintendo Switch game (out of 33!) we've purchased. What's awful? *Low-rez graphics look like a first-time amateur's online flash game, and the sound effects are repetitively mind numbing. *The promise of the gun accessory is completely ruined by its uselessness. Moving the gun up, down, left, and right barely registers on the screen, to the point that aiming was sometimes better holding the gun perpendicular to the TV! *The game already had a patch, so what was even more awful that they had to fix? Did they missspell the game title on the loading screen? In all seriousness, the accessory looked like the main selling point of what could have been a simple, entertaining game, and the fact that it didn't even work poorly resulted in a frustrating game experience. I expect more out of games for this console, and I would not recommend it at all, even on clearance.

    Basically a modern version of the classic duck hunt. Has enemies of different difficulties which ads a little something to the game. Havent had much luck calibrating the controllers in the gun handle yet so my kids just play with the switch controllers.

    This game is basically just an expensive mobile game with a plastic shooter, but my boys had a lot of fun with it. They probably put in above 3-4 hours of play time with it before they got bored but have gone back a couple times to play. It is what it is and not exactly a modern version of Duck Hunt.

    It’s actually really bad. I was expecting something decent, but in addition to the controller not working as advertised, the sound effects are from 1999 and gameplay is just not fun. I was expecting something close to Duck Hunt. It’s definitely not that. Seriously. Stay away. It does have an option to play with a control stick instead of the motion sensitivity, so it’s not a completely useless game. That being said, it’s probably worth about $2.

    This has to be the biggest waste of money I have ever spent. Seriously, this is at best worth $1. You could buy the game, which is rapidly dropping in price, for $20. This means you are buying a piece of plastic for $30 and it doesn't even work like a gun, you still need to use the joycons. Check youtube for gameplay videos and do not buy this!

    This game is terrible. Duck hunt on the original Nintendo is better than this. You cannot actually use the gun to point at what you are shooting, and it gets worse as the game goes along. I ended up having to point the gun way off to the right OFF the tv screen to line up the cursor and shoot. Do not buy this product!

    Looking for games for my 5 year old. The joy cons fit into the gun accessory as expected but the shot wasn't accurate. At times, I was shooting at the floor to get anything to register on screen. I returned this bundle. Also picked up Mario Kart 8 the same day, the WHOLE house loves it.

    Don’t buy this. Disappointing, for sure! Aim is very poor with the gun. The game isn’t fun, and it’s pretty pointless. My six year old hated it. My eleven year old scoffed and wouldn’t even touch it. Horrible game. Just don’t do it.
