 Hunting in your living roomOct 16, 2003
By Buddy Long
A must have for the hunter in the family. This game makes you want to go out and buy a hunting license. Very realistic game with real life hunting situations. I like the idea that you can choose different regions to hunt. Plus all the accessories and different firearms you can use. That keeps the game from becoming boring. The graphics are pretty darn good too. Give this game a try. I think you will like it.

Husband loves it, great christmas gift!Jan 05, 2004
I bought this one for my husband for Christmas, and we both love it - for the price, I am amazed at the quality of the game both in terms of graphics and addictive gameplay. Hunting has never been all that interesting to me, but after playing this game, I'm actually considering going out on a real hunt - it's not just about killing animals, but about strategy, wilderness know-how, and adventure. I did not have the problem with loading time that the other review mentioned (it loads in a few seconds for me?), and found that the strict rules (such as shooting at buildings, trying to hunt animals that are out of season, etc) to be add an educational element that I find very reassuring as a mother. I encourage my son to play the game, knowing that he will learn about hunting "by the book", and would certainly rather see him play this than some of the real violent games out there. For myself, I find the game to be very pretty - it really does look like the great outdoors, the water shimmers, the trees move in the wind, the weather and sky change over time, and the sounds of animals in the distance are very engrossing. 5 out of 5 - nice work Cabela's!

Pretty darn good!Nov 24, 2003
I bought this game because I read about it in Xbox Magazine - they gave it a really good score and the review was promising. Boy were they on target! The graphics in this game are outstanding, just outstanding. I've never seen water that realistic, or seen games where the grass and trees look so real! Gameplay is fun, very much a hunting sim though - if you don't have any patience, you might not like it, because the deer are pretty sensitive and if you don't hunt the right way (with sents and stuff) you'll never catch one. Sounds are OK. Bubbling water was the best, and the random sounds of animals in the distance. All around good hunting simulation, strategy needed, outstanding visuals.

Worth a try!Nov 17, 2003
Wow - just wow. The graphics in this game are better than some of the top titles out right now, and for half the price, that ain't bad. To the person having trouble running - the hunter you choose has stats. If you pick a hunter with low strength he can only carry a certain amount of weight, you probably have too many heavy items in your backpack. I think this is pretty realistic, and I really like that the stats actually effect the game.
 Almost like the real thing.(too bad)Apr 17, 2004
By Richard J Doherty
This game is just like real hunting-sitting in a stand for hours and rarely see anything worth shooting.Maybe they should of had turkeys and racoons eating my deer bait just like at my hunting lease.The only thing I had alittle problem with is there are no mountains or snow in Florida.Oh well,better luck next year.
