Just in time to get you into the turkey spirit, here\u2019s Remington\u2019s Great American Bird Hunt for Nintendo Wii. It\u2019s an arcade style shooting gallery game where you hunt duck, geese, and yes, even wild turkey!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the single player mode, compete in tournaments broken up into rounds. In each round, you\u2019ll have a certain kind of bird to shoot, such as duck, goose, or turkey. All you have to do is aim the remote at the screen and shoot. You can even use the Wii Zapper if you like, but the Wii remote on its own works just as well, if not better. In certain rounds, you must shoot as many birds in the allotted time, while in other challenges, you have a certain number of misses and the round\u2019s over when they\u2019re all up or you shoot all the male birds. Shoot flocks without missing to greatly increase your score.<\/p>\n<p>Some birds have icons over their heads, and if you shoot them, you\u2019ll get a temporary boost, like more ammo before reloading or special hunter goggles that help you see the birds better. Just watch out for illegal game like hens and songbirds, as you\u2019ll get a point deduction if you shoot them. They can be hard to see and differentiate from regular targets, but if you watch and listen carefully, you\u2019ll be able to know when they fly or run by. Earn a high enough score in the tournaments to win medals. Get enough gold medals and you\u2019ll unlock better real life Remington rifles to use in the game. Four players, each with their own remote, can also compete at the same time in the multiplayer party modes.<\/p>\n<p>Remington\u2019s Great American Bird Hunt is very similar to arcade shooting gallery games like Shoot Away or NES Duck Hunt. So if you like those games, you\u2019ll enjoy this one, too. And just like Duck Hunt, you even get a hunting dog. But instead of laughing at you for missing, this dog is actually useful. There\u2019s even a power-up icon that makes your dog flush out higher scoring golden birds!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3516\" title=\"BIRDHUNT_SCREEN\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamingwithchildren.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/BIRDHUNT_SCREEN.jpg\" alt=\"BIRDHUNT_SCREEN\" width=\"400\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/BIRDHUNT_SCREEN.jpg 400w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/BIRDHUNT_SCREEN-300x222.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remington\u2019s Great American Bird Hunt is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Comic Mischief and Violence. Even though you are shooting animals, they just fall and disappear when shot. If you don\u2019t mind your kids playing a hunting game about using rifles, they\u2019ll be OK with this. It\u2019s easy to understand and get into, and even slightly educational as there are fact on each of the birds in the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, people all over the US will be sitting down with friends and family to eat a big ol\u2019 turkey.
