Hunting Alaska ProgramFeb 06, 2010 This is a good program for that "hunter" who wants to experience the thrill of the hunt from the comfort of home.
Alaskan AdventureDec 10, 2009 This is the most challenging out of the 3 Cabela's hunting games that I have. This is hunting in it's most primal form. Having to fend off wild animals, buy your supplies at the outpost and judge your meal rations,ammo, and other supplies is good. This game is a lot of fun and can be played for hrs at a time if you like hunting games.

Alaskan Adventure's ReviewJun 26, 2009 I have never played any of the Cabela's series games before playing the Alaskan Adventure and I can honestly say that things are to change. I thought this game was amazing and have boughten a fewer other games in the franchise already. The game is based in Alaska obviously putting you in a more freeform almost sandbox environment compared to the other games. I like how you are put in a zone and just go wherever searching for the species you have tags for. No guided paths, wild animals are abundant whether it's what you need or not. The missions are increasingly difficult and there are a lot of hidden and secret things throughout the game. It can be a little frustrating when you run out of stamina or a wolf attacks you and kills you when you're one tag away from completing the objective but that's part of the game. The fishing is pretty annoying especially playing on simulation difficulty (hardest). The three difficulties and customizable characters also give it decent replay value if you'd like. I don't usually finish games all the way through but i did with this in two days! Very fun game. I would suggest it to any one who enjoys shooting games that isn't just shooting random bad guys. This takes a little more skill. Like assassin's creed meets call of duty. But in a Cabela's freeform way.
OK, but can be betterMay 03, 2009 I have had this game for quite some time.(I didnt buy it on Amazon.com, I got it at Wal-Mart on sale for 19.99 which is a good price for this game)This game is one of the best games Ive played. The overall experience was very good, but the graphics could use some improvement,just a little. The guns and bows are cool and I love this game.The fishing is great but I wish there was never a time limit though. But why 4 stars not 5? Well this game lost a star because of the animals. They are just waaaaay too dangerous. For exapmle, there are animals in real life would avoid you at all costs, but in this game the will plow you and not think twice or even try to determine if you're a threat or not. "Charge first never invesigate" that seems to be the only thing on thier minds. If cabelas would have only given you the option if you wanted animals to attack or not this would be the best hunting/fishing game made. Another good thing about the game is the selling back to the store, because you get a 100% refund. I like it. You should rent first in case you don't like it, which you will like it.

Lucky, lucky AlaskansOct 13, 2008 With 38 wild and dangerous animals to slaughter, this game has something for everyone. You start simply enough - by stamping on several Pygmy Shrews - before moving quickly on to fishing for Salmon with frag grenades. This is followed by a particularly bloody adventure in which, armed with an AK47 and a wooden club, you take on a family of Polar Bears before the game climaxes in an awesome Humpback harpooning, extra points are awarded for getting her calf.
Once you have completed the basic adventures you gain access to the secret 'Governor Game'. Here you are challenged to dismiss as many state employees as possible on spurious grounds via your secret email account, whilst simultaneously protecting your gas pipeline by shooting wolves and stray Democrats from a circling helicopter.
I have not yet finished the 'Bridge to Nowhere' mini-game mainly because it is not clear whether you are supposed to be supporter or an opponent. Any ideas, fellow gamers?
