Just like nearly every other "hunting" game out there, this one shouldn't be allowed to use the word in any form. There is no hunting, just shooting animals that are standing around waiting to be shot. Sometimes you have to walk over a hill to find them, so maybe that's what they call hunting. Its an arcade game where you can shoot deer during turkey season for extra points. You cannot select your hunts, it takes you to an area and you have to run through a series of hunts of different critters (again you don't get to choose which ones). And you have to score a certain amount of points before it lets you continue to the next stage.

It is beautifully rendered, but as a result its a memory hog even on its lowest settings. Its all but unplayable on my wife's laptop (I bought it on vacation), but it runs perfectly on my desktop (512 MB video card probably helps a lot here).

Summary: If you want hunting, don't look here. If you want to shoot cg animals with no work involve and you have a PC that can handle this, then I suppose this will work as well as any.

It's not a bad game...if all you wanna do is have a 5-10 minute shootout.

I thought the first few levels were just a super-quick tutorial, but after a few sessions I found out that THIS WAS THE GAME. Like the previous reviewer said, the graphics are nice and the vast range of animals are nice...but sitting in one place (or just about one place) and shooting your gun at anything that walks seems to be a poor representation of hunting to me.

Like an arcade game, it had no real objectives... other than to shoot anything that moves. I became bored very easily.

One of the worst games I have ever played. I would have expected so much more from a company like Cabelas. The game was terrible. I would not advice anyone to buy this game.
