Platform for Display:Nintendo Wii
Fun:
Let me start by saying I've played previous BGH versions on the Xbox and PS2.
Pros:
-The Wii controls work very well for this game -- I completed the game using the new Wii Zapper and thoroughly enjoyed it.
-They have removed the animal radar (replaced by a "hunter sense," a 3rd person view that enhances animals visible on your screen).
-They removed running fatigue.
-They have removed lodges (saving now occurs multiple times per map at various checkpoints, you don't have to spend 10 minutes hiking back to your lodge to save your game or get a different weapon, weapons can be swapped out from the menu).
-The graphics are slightly better than previous BGH versions.
-The have removed the virtually useless vehicles from the previous versions as they are not necessary since you no longer traverse from map to map to get to the next lodge.
Cons:
-There are fewer weapons (There is only 1 crossbow, and there are no bows in the game. There are only 2 pistols. However, there are numerous calibers of rifles to choose from).
-The game feels very short, there are definately fewer maps than in previous BGH versions. I completed the whole game in under 5 hours.
-The game crashed on me on 2 or 3 occasions.
-Navigating the terrain can be annoying at times because the smallest rock or log can halt you in your tracks, and there are many invisible barriers preventing you from walking places that often would serve as great vantage points.
All-in-all, it's an "ok" game. It's entertaining to sit around with your friends and chuckle during some instant hunts after you've finished the relatively short game -- as long as you're not expecting something with awesome graphics or a game you're going to take very seriously. A great buy if you can find it used somewhere.

Fun:
I bought this game a started playing it- I finished it on easy in 4 hours. So I put it on expert and finished it in 4.5. The graphics are not what I have come to expect in Cabelas or other hunting games for that matter. On the Wii they were not good at all.
For the game play the Wii controllers work really well for this. But the game was just poorly done. There were literally instant hunts where the mission was finished in 12 seconds or so- on a regular basis. The animals literally swarm the areas. This might be good except for you cant buy tags even- you can only hunt the ONE animal they tell you you can and the number they let you- often one.
The weapons were very few and non factors. The game picks your weapons for you to start each mission. If you chnage them you can easily be kicked out for using one not authorized.
Tracking is all but totally absent.You cant set up your own tree stands or canopies- though there are a few in the game you can use.
I do like the the fact you can hunt endless small game like rabbits and birds- if you use the right gun- which is a pain to switch out.
In all the game was fun for a bit but the graphics, weapons, hunting zones, animal populations were all below standard. It is worth it if you can get it cheap from somwhere. But, it wont last you more than a day or two of target practice.

Fun:
I brought my 7-year old son to the store to look at Wii games thinking he'd pick out a car game of some sort since he's addicted to cars. What catches his attention? Big Game Hunter! I laughed and tried to turn his attention to something else figuring he, nor I, would like a hunting game. Well, he kept coming back to it so I gave in. Plus the price was pretty low (Aug. '09)
Let me just say, we both got hooked as soon as we started playing. It's no Duck Hunt, and does take a little coordination with the nun-chuck and controller. I thought my son would have trouble figuring it out but who was I kidding? Kids a wiz with the games.
You get to hunt numerous different game. You also encounter some more aggressive animals. That's where I have to caution that this might freak the young ones out. My son gets scared when some of the wild cats attack and hands me the controls to do the work.
All in all, we've been having great fun with it. Worth the money imo.

Fun game but easy to beat.
This game is very fun and mysterious. The downside is that i beat it in about a week by only playing it about 2 hours a day. Read more

Best hunting game i have played so far.
I have really enjoyed this game, it takes some time to get used to the controls, but i find myself playing for hours.

kinda disappointing
I played though the whole game and felt rather let down. I was hoping for a little more realism from Cabelas. Read more

Hunters will love this!
If your man or boy enjoys hunting, they will love this game. The graphics are great, animal noises are great too. My husband loves this game.

OK
I bought this for my boyfriend since he is the hunter. We both found it rather difficult and they don't give you much direction. Read more

Bought it as a gift for my hunter son.
We are a family of hunters so I thought my son would enjoy this game. He does not! Neither did my other family members enjoy it. We think it was a waste of money.

Boring
This game is very simple and boring. I bought it for the WII expecting it to be far beyond the copy we already had for PS2 but I actually think PS2 is better.
