1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Waste you Money, January 5, 2009

This game is ridiculous. Every animal in the game is trying to attack you and eat you. From Lions, bears, snakes, hyenas, piranas, and yes, even elk and moose will try to kill you. I shot at both an elk and a moose from 150 yards and they both tried to come gore me with their racks. My charachter was able to wrestle the 1000 lb moose with it's rack until it ran away.

The storyline is so unprobable it makes it worse. The main charachter is a loser hick, who talks like he has a pole up his rear. The charachter acting is horrible. And not only are all the animals always trying to kill him, no matter where he is going, nature is trying to kill him too. From avalanches to floods, he is always in the worst place at the right time. He happens to be hunting lions, when the whole hunting colony is attacked by verocious lions jumping in over tall fence to come eat everyone. And planes crash when he is out hunting and he has to go save victims who are being eaten by jaguars.

The game storyline would have been better if they claimed aliens had taken over all the animals and were after the loser hick hunter who had a magical power or something.

And to finish it off, the menus in the game look like coded graphics from the original nintendo in the 80's. They definitely did not spend any $ for some good programmers to complete the menus. And they probably got the voice acting from bums off the street for $5.

Don't waste your money. To think that Cabellas, a hunting company put this gross attempt together or even endorsed it is a shame to their name.

The game is really corny. There is really no free roam. There really is no hunting the animal. The animal hunts you. I had an elk attack me because I shot at it from over a 100 yards away. Not realistic at all. This game is not worth the money.

This is a really cool game! You play a big game hunter who's friend is killed by a bear and have to find the perfect throphy animal.
But you are NOT going to hunt harmless animals. Oh no!
You have to hunt some of the MOST feirce and dangerous animals on the planet! Which include lions, wolves, elephants, grizzly bears, tigers, hyenas, rhinos, leopards, jaguars and much more.
You also hunt in 9 different locations including the African savannah, the Russian artic and the South American rainforest.
You have a wide array of weapons to use to stop the animals but be careful you have to be fast and accurate in shooting them. Beacuse if you fail to kill them you'll have to fight him hand to paw.
But you also have to pay attention because it's very possible that the animals are going to have buddies to help them out.
There is some pretty violent scenes and some swearing so little kids shouldn't play this game.
We humans like to think we're on top of the food chain but after you play this game you might think twice about that.
