Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2 for the XBOX is the sequel to an older hunting simulation with the same name. Except this time
the gamemakers ruined the gameplay. It no longer feels like a hunting simulator. It no longer has free-roaming levels, you cannnot really create a strategy either and the graphics have gone downhill, looking more cheap. While the first game was missing a good story, the excellent gameplay mechanics made it fun.

Dangerous Hunts 2 does the complete opposite and implements a cheesy story about you being stranded with others in the wild. You try to survive as animals track you down and attack you. You also will have missions where you have to find other people and rescue them. There is the usual assortment of weapons like pistols, rifles, shotguns and a knife, but it will be very limited and ammunitions is very scarce. There are many scripted game sequences which tries to add to the survival storyline, but none of it works effectively because of the bad voice-acting, cheap character animations, dumb CPU and downgraded graphics on the animals. The level designs are completely linear where you are forced to walk along a set path and accomplish stupid fetch quests. The overall production values feel cheap and the game is very boring to boot. Do yourself a favor skip this sequel and buy the first Dangerous Hunts instead.

Pros:
the first game still is better

Cons:
-you are the hunted, not the hunter
-completely linear levels
-boring fetch quests
-stupid A.I.
-hard to find ammo
-cheap graphics
-cheap animations
-scripted events suck
-bad voice acting
-dumb story

I cannot even begin to describe how disappointed I was with this game. The first Dangerous Hunts game was a blast to play. It was just like real hunting, with the added thrill of having to deal with wild animals that attack.

But this game is horrendous. It is an adventure style game where you follow around an amazingly annoying one eyed man who tells you what to do and doesnt bother to help you at all. Moreover, his vocabulary is limited to two or three dumb remarks.

You cannot hunt in the traditional sense. You cannot do anything except the stupid little tasks that the one eyed guide wants you to do.

This is NOT a true hunting game. Stay away and don't waste your money on this piece of crap. Get the original Dangerous Hunts game, instead.
