Overall I would say this is a very good hunting game. There is no way to make everyone who plays these type of games happy. Some think they're too long, not realistic enough, not enough action, limited in the kind of animals you can hunt, etc. With that said I believe the makers of this game took that all into account and made a game that would fit what most people would want and give everyone a lot of what they like. The overall detail of graphics is very good, which is an area that many hunting games struggle with (the mule deer really look like mule deer). It also has a variety of tools, rifles, bows, etc to use. It does lack in the area of have true control of what you are going to in the game with it's scenarios and the first time I heard a moose bugle like an elk on the game I had to laugh. The other thing is the behavior of the animals if they are spooked. But compared to many of the other hunting games out there it is very good and worth the price paid for the entertainment you will get out of it.Read full review
It's a pretty fun game with a huge variety of animals to hunt. My husband loved playing, and he is the most anti-video-game person I know! The "hunter sense" feature was pretty cool and very useful. While I found it somewhat of a challenge, my husband was able to complete the whole career hunt within 2 weeks. However, he found it fun enough to start another profile and do the whole thing again, this time with hopefully better scores. You do need to have both the Wiimote and the nunchuk to play this game, but you don't need a special gun controller or anything. The only things we did not like were sometimes you are given a hunt for some exotic animal we'd never heard of and did not know what it looked like. There was a way to find profiles of the animals, but it was hard to find at first. When you are in the middle of a hunt, you don't want to stop to find the profile. All in all, it's a pretty fun game that can be played at almost any age level. Also, it defaults to a view where you are looking at the back of "your" head, which can get in the way of sighting animals. All in all, it was a fun and at times challenging game with only a few less than impressive moments. An avid gamer might not like this game, but a beginner or someone who just wants to have a little fun would probably enjoy this game very much.Read full review
This game has everthing that the virtual hunter could want. The graphics were excellent. It has a little something for hunters from no experience to a skilled marksman. I wish the storing options were a little easier for the game. My 9 year old has played it and been disappointed that he was unable to save the game. The instructions could be made a little more kid friendly. I would definatly recomend this game to anyone who loves hunting and the outdoors. Perfect for hunting when it's too cold, hot or raining for the real thing. Try it I'm sure that you will not be disappointed!!
I really enjoy this game! It's awesome! It's not the most challenging game, I'll admit, but great for coming home and relaxing to. Works great with Wii zapper, and Nykon perfect shot, in my experience. I read that it's multiplayer... but don't see anything like that. I also don't understand where to find a lot of the animals. I wish there was an FAQ of this game, but can't find one. The boss fights (bear, cougar, wild boar, lion) are pretty fun, but very repetitive. Overall, I'd say a good game. But the multiplayer option and location of all the animals is still a mystery...
I never tried any of these hunting games out there so I decided to try the Cabela's big game hunter for the Wii system. The pros:Great graphics, Good satisfying feeling hearing the gun crack and taking down game, Mini games throughout the hunts, Wild animal attacks. The cons: Limited to where you can go, Animals seem to run the same patterns all the time, If you're in the path of travel of an animal they will stop in front of you making it too easy, Half of the big game animals are way too easy to find and kill, The only differance between the Experianced level and the Expert levels is the Expert level doesn't give you a map and doesn't allow any shooting errors such as shooting the wrong game or your game is over. As with any game there is some glitches,I once walked my guy up a bank and he became stuck and I couldn't get him to move and had to restart the game. I didn't like how the hunter tells you when you're using too big of caliber gun, for instance,when trying to kill off an attacking animal it takes many shots before it finally dies so I tried using a .338 cal. and the hunter will repeat over and over that the caliber is to big. But using the right caliber helps your score and I don't think anybody pays much attention to that,its just fun to hunt and shoot. All in all it's a fun game. It probably took me less than 10 hours to beet it.(and i'm not exactly the pro gamer)Read full review
