Duck Hunt is one of a kind...However a bit of history for you, the first version of the shooter game was a clay shooter game made back in 1976...and Duck Hunt was released around 1984.

So what's not to like about Duck Hunt? 4 WORDS:

THE GUN DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK!

.............ok maybe that's five words....but still! The gun is not very dependable when it comes to killing ducks.

It's offical name is the light gun because when you fire at the duck the screen will flash, and in that instant, the screen will be black with a white square...and if that white square is on the duck, you hit the target, if it's not then you...missed.

There are 3 modes of play in the game:

1 ducks

2 ducks

clay pigeon shooting

1 ducks means for every round you shoot just one duck at a time, 2 ducks you shoot 2 ducks...and the clay pigeon mode you shoot the clay things that will pop up and fade into the background...you know when someone says....

PULL!

they throw the thing

BANG!

And that's about how it works.

So yeah we as video gamers probably already know this...so what's the problem with this game?

Well ok...let's play 2 ducks in our mind for a minute.

So the game starts...you shoot two ducks...the dog holds them up...you shoot two ducks...the dog holds them up...you shoot....

Umm...so ok when does something else happen?...Well it doesn't...you shoot 10 ducks a round and fry them in the air again. The game get's a bit repetitive quickly...I mean it's not bad at first, but after like round 20....you probably just stop playing don't you?

And then there's.........the Dog..........

The Dog is the most infamous character in Nintendo history...This is your loyal companion as you have a friendly game of Duck hunt indoors...And when you shoot a duck he will hold it up for you to confirm you hit the duck...good boy...and what happens if you miss...or get game over?

............

HE LAUGHS AT YOU!

What are you kidding me? How can a video game character laugh at you? I mean come on, sometimes the gun doesn't work, sometimes the duck moves too fast, sometimes the gun doesn't even work if you hold it right toward the screen.

If your playing 1 duck a round, you get 3 shots to hit that one duck...in 2 ducks a round you get 3 shots to hit two ducks...if you miss you only have two bullets for two ducks...come on! And sometimes the gun doesn't work...you could fire all your bullets at the ducks and miss them all day...Give us a break dog!

The rumors are true as well...you can shoot the dog...but not in every version

Payback! You punk!

One of the most madding things about a game like this must be the fact that there is no stopping point...just like in Tetris...you keep playing until you lose...well....why can't you win? Why can't we play as much as we want...and stop wherever we want and the game say "You win!' But no, everytime the game ends it ends like this:

GAME OVER!

You missed too many ducks! You can't play anymore, you can't win this game ever! HA!

That's how this game ends...with the dog...laughing...and with tears of defeat that you couldn't shoot that last dog...because the gun doesn't work.

I suppose people get so good at this game that they can just keep playing and playing until you get to level 99 or something...man around level 40 they just move too fast for me...and the gun doesn't work...so I mean after a while the ducks move so fast that they ghost jump...like in miliseconds they're all over the board...you can't kill that! But apparently somebody got to level 100...and this is what happens:

Duck hunt is pretty difficult, it's repetitive, and you can't win...and when you do lose...you get laughed at...every time.........and that's worth a rant.

Oh well...at least we know this will never happen:

DUCK HUNT..........We must kill all the ducks and laughing dogs now!
