Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2006 lets you live the silent thrill of stalking and hunting an animal that would do the same to you. Travel to exotic locales around the globe, and test yourself against the world's most ferocious creatures.

Features:

• Encounter Grizzly bears, rhinos, leopards, Cape Buffalo, and many more--in palm sweaty, heart-pounding hunting action
• Three unique gameplay modes: try Quick Hunt for one season or one kill; Action Zone for arcade-style hunting; or Career Path where you'll pick missions and follow the path of the pro hunter

Product Description

Play as a thrill-seeking, expert hunter. Level design uses natural barriers to direct you with startling surprise encounters with animals intent on killing you. An all-new Companion System helps guide you through the environment and serves as a resource you will need to protect you or seometimes act as bait. Snipe, shoot from the back of a vehicle and fight up-close and personal. With limited ammunition at hand, you'll need to use environmental objects for defense. During vicious hand-to-claw combat, you'll need to slash with the knife, block with your forearm, or smack the snout with the butt of your rifle.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Terrible Letdown, a Waste of Money and Time, October 14, 2006

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2 (Video Game)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Title is very misleading..., November 21, 2005

This game is absolutely nothing like the original, with the exception that you are in a wilderness with a weapon.

If you enjoyed the original, and liked tracking, spotting and taking the best game animal, there is none of that. This game plays more like a "Tomb Raider" game, you have to watch for things to pick up, like ammo, or find your way through puzzle/maze style environments. You have "missions" you need to accomplish, and only after these are completed can you choose to "hunt". After completing the first task, I choose to hunt in the area. I was allowed to choose between a machete, a handgun and a double-barrel shotgun to hunt for a whitetail deer. As soon as I found the deer and shot it with the handgun, I was attacked by a "mad grizzly", and had to "survive the mad grizzly attack". After I shot him, the game moved on, you don't even get to claim your trophy.

There is no store feature, you have to find items scattered throughout the environments. There also seems to be no shot specific hits when you shoot the animals as they attack you. For example, a certain animal may require to be shot 3 times, regardless of the fact that it is so close all shots are straight down through the top of the head. Along with having to keep an eye out for useful items, you also have to keep an eye out for hidden dangers in the environment, such as bear traps or bee hives, which cause injury, but are mostly just incredibly annoying.

This is a game I was really looking forward to after loving the first one, but I doubt I will even bother to finish it. I would certainly give it less stars if I could.

If it were possible to choose zero stars, I would have rate it. This game is a complete fraud. First, it is not a trophy game. Everything that happens in the game is being chased by wild animals. The point of the game is to avoid getting killed, but it is hard to see what attacks you. This is not a hunting game, its a surviving game. All you get is a hand pistol, a machete, and a small knife. Can you imagine having to kill an elephant with a dart using a bamboo stick. That is ridiculous! I am very disapointed. You are never going to hunt for animals, so don't waste your tinme and money on this game.
