3.0 out of 5 stars Big Buck Hunter, October 5, 2007

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Big Buck Hunter (Video Game)

After a 700 mb install, you still have to have the disc in the drive.
The copy protection sceme is annoying on this game. If you double click on the desktop icon and half the time even with the disc in the drive, it will say you have not inserted the original disc in the drive or it doesn't recognize the disc.
Best thing to do is insert the disc, let it spin up, and then dlick on the desktop icon. Clicking on the auto run screen doen't always work all the time either.

With a standard mouse this game is hard to play and doesn't feel right because you have to click the right and left buttons at the same time to reload/fire. (If you've played the arcade version)
As far as the game goes, it is pretty fun, if you have quick reactions and use your Wii remote via a Wii remote windows driver, (Wii) sensor bar, and bluetooth hook up as the mouse it feels more like shotting.

Each area seems pretty much the same graphics wise. Why is the Utah hunt in the dark?
Canada in the most fun because you get to shoot at elk, a bigger target.
This game isn't the exact same as the arcade game.

Dissappointing is the shooting galleries aren't accessable at your leisure, or at least we haven't found out how to access them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not nearly as good as the real thing, but it will do, October 23, 2007

Although it's nice to be able to play a little BBH at home, nothing compares to the real thing and shooting with the gun.

The bucks are very fast and hard to catch aiming with a mouse. You only get to shoot Whitetail and bonus games, no other options for big game.

I don't think I will play this all the time, but it's a fix when I can't get to a bar!

3.0 out of 5 stars Audio control is ziltch, January 8, 2008

The game is fun but lack of volume and that annoying audio opening really
drops the fun. The cross hair lines could be a couple of pixels bigger because you loose sight of them when moving fast. Not sad I bought it but no configuring sucks.
