"The Mutt from Duck Hunt has gone solo! And has done a good job of it."

Barker Bill's Trick Shooting is a great game for the Zapper that isn't really well known. I only found out about it from a friend who runs a NES site about Nintendo made games. I bought it to try it out and found it to be well worth my money. It has Several more options than Duck Hunt. Such as: Balloon Saloon, Flying Saucers, Window Pains, and Fun Follies, which has two mini games, Trixie's Shot and Bill's Thrills.

Sound/Audio- 9/10, The music on Barker Bill's Trick Shooting is quite good for the Nintendo Era, it has fun music, that can get stuck in your head easily, and great sounds for hitting stuff and items.

Graphics 8/10, The Graphics on the game are pretty good, crisp and clear, but they could have been better, They seem like it's one of those games that they didn't try to make it one of the best, but just enough, and the colors in some of the games seemed dull. But the animation in the game is quite smooth, it never kinks or is slow, it flows smoothy and quickly, which is also important in a Zapper game.

Controls- 10/10, The controls for the Zapper have been worked on alot in this game. You don't have to worry about the aim being a little off to the left, or something along those lines. You hit where you aim, and I think that that is especially important in a Light Gun Game.

Gameplay- 10/10, The gameplay is great on this, when your playing with more than one person, you can easily get into a competition to see who can be the best at one of the games, or who can go the longest, or even in one player, you can set limits for yourself and see if you can beat them. And the dog don't giggle madly.

Replay Value- 10/10, This game is as addictive as Duck Hunt and Hoagans Alley, where you can play it over and over, but it hardly ever gets old.

Buy or Rent?- Well, seeing as you cant rent NES games at too many places anymore, If you like light gun, or shooting games, or even just Duck Hunt, this game is for you, a fine jewel to have in your NES Collection, And well worth the dollars and i'm sure you'll find out that its well worth the time to play it too.
