Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The latest title in Cabela's best-selling franchise, Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2 provides players with savage animal encounters and a true adrenaline-pumping experience. Expert regional guides lead players on 12 epic adventures to exotic locations around the globe in search of the world's most dangerous animals. But through a traumatic change of events, the hunters become the hunted and players must use their skills and survival instincts. Watch out, not everyone is going to make it back to the lodge alive!
Features:
- Beware when embarking on this adventure: these beasts are more ferocious and dangerous than ever before with innate predator instincts.
- Story-based: play as a former member of Wilderness Rescue in missions inspired by authentic stories of actual encounters with savage animals.
- Rescue others in danger: take on the world's most dangerous animals on their own turf in order to rescue others in eminent danger.
- Guaranteed action: natural barriers direct you along the way to startling encounters with animals that are just as likely to be hunting you.
- For the first time ever: hunt from a helicopter or truck in regions never-before-seen in a hunting game--Russia, Argentina, and India.
- Ammo is limited: you must often employ vicious "hand-to-claw" combat maneuvers, as well as use environmental objects to defend yourself.
- Unique challenges such as tranquilizing enraged elephants and using blow darts to slow down vicious Bengal tigers.
- All-new companion system: expert regional guides will lead you through different environments and from one encounter to the next, serving as a resource you will need to protect and occasionally offer as bait.
- Three gameplay mechanics: sniping, shooting from the back of a vehicle, and fighting up close and personal.
- 20 exotics species and 12 locations around the world: hunt rhinos in India, lions in Africa, polar bears in Russia, and much, much, more!
- Extremely realistic environments: stalk through long grass, fight through the jungle, and hike through challenging mountain terrain.

Dangerous hunts?Dangerous to your wallet!!,
By
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Cabela Dangerous Hunts II (CD-ROM)
I played this game through in under 3 hours!What a waste of my time and money.Dangerous Hunts was a pretty good game,but this sequel frankly sucks.There is far less to it than the original.There's no freedom of movement.It will not even let you crouch until you reach a certain point on each level.All you do is follow a set path throughout the game,shooting various(mostly wolves)animals as you go.You have a guide on every level that you have to protect(and who doesn't protect you in return).You basically follow him(or her)around and do what he/she tells you to do.The game is sickenly linear.There is a set goal for every level that you must complete to move on to the next as you go through the story line(such as it is!!).The only time you are allowed to hunt(not just continusly shoot attacking animals)is between levels and you can not access the hunting levels independently,only after reaching the end of each level,which sucks.If you pass up the opportunity to hunt between the game levels,well forget it,you'll have to replay the game again as it selects when to save,not you,which is plain stupid.The graphics are average,as is the game play.The animals all look like totally phsychopathic killers,not realistic at all.If you're looking for a game like Dangerous Hunts,you better look elsewhere.Dangerous Hunts 2?Dangerous to you wallet!! Don't waste your time or money.I can pretty much guarantee that you'll be dissappointed with this tripe.Same goes for the new Cabelas Outdoor Games.It totally blows,too!!

an OK action game, but not a simulation,
By
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Cabela Dangerous Hunts II (CD-ROM)
Players who expect this game to be a simulation may very well be disappointed. However it is not a bad action game. There are five areas including Alaska, Africa, India, Australia, and Russia. The animal graphics don't seem to be quite as good as the other recent Cabela's games. There is some hunting in helicopters and in back of vehicles. Some unusual weapons are utilized such as blow guns/darts, and tranquilizer guns. Three levels of difficulty are offered. Some of the animals included are rhinoceros, hippopotamus, lion, tiger, hyena, elephant, yeti, wild boar, bulls, and crocodiles. There are also some bees and snakes as well as quicksand. Stumps can be shot along the way to gain access to three hidden areas.

Dangerous Hunts 2,

This review is from: Cabela Dangerous Hunts II (CD-ROM)
This game looks even better than its first version. I don't think there's any other company in this world to stand competition with Activision. In my comments on the first version I had requested Animators from Activision to improve on the Wolf's Pixel Effects, I feel they did their job neatly in Version 2. Although the Wolves jump directly onto you & u don't have the time to concentrate on anything else rather than saving yourself.
I deeply congratulate the entire production team at Activision for creating a superb sequel to their earlier edition. I have just purchased this game a week ago and have yet to explore more bout it. I somewhat feel I'm not getting more choice to choose my ammo like the previous version. Hence its difficult to identify which animal am I going to confront at any particular level. Unlike earlier version we were knowing which animal is gonna attack us. Earlier the terrain appeared a bit blurred in certain parts of Africa, but in this version 2 I see new area's have been identified for us to explore and the terrain effects are amazing. Maybe if I change my Television screen to a Plasma Screen I can have a Cystal clear terrain effect. This time the terrain effects in Zimbabwe were breath taking. What I like the most is you also have a partner involved in the hunting process, which during most of the time gives you some kinda support and a feeling that your not the only one in the entire forest. <--- this is an amazing feeling. But still I stick to what I have to....Activision is the Best game production company in the whole damn world. Best regards, Manish Batola - Kuwait.
