5.0 out of 5 stars Hunt or be Hunted, January 19, 2004

By

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

One thing that I want to make clear is that Dangerous Hunts is a hunting simulation. It is not an arcade shooter like Halo.
Only an idiot would compare this game to Halo, because they are different games. In this game, patience and strategy play an important part of getting your trophy. You can pick your equipment, from guns, to rifles, to crossbows, clothing, food rations, whistle calls, baits for luring animals and more! Picking your equipment is just part of the fun as you try to figure out what will be useful against certain targets. You can hunt a variety of animals including deers, lions, bears, coyotes, wolves, elks and more. You also have the choice to hunt in many regional map locals. The graphics look amazing and really convey that immersive feel. The sound effects are realistic and sound crisp, from the sound of gunfire, the howling of animals, the blowing of winds and your footsteps on the many ground textures. There is only music in the game menu, but once you are in the "hunt", all you hear are the ambient sound of the outdoors. It certainly works that way because you don't need music to mask the sound of a nearby target/predator approaching you (for a kill). The controls are preset a bit odd, but can be learned. The action is slow paced as you search for your target, but suddenly you'll feel sweaty as have your target in sight. There are a few game modes and they all place the targets in random locations, making the game unpredictable. Add to the low sticker price of the game and Bam! You have a winner! If you have patience to seek out your target and want to play a good hunting simulation, I highly recommend this game!

Pros:
+great graphics
+good controls
+lots of maps
+lots of targets
+lots of equipment
+immersive
+great sound effects
+great artificial intelligence
+free form gameplay
+budget price game

Cons:
-not for the kids
-very slow pace

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Hunting Game, August 22, 2005

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

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

PROS: Good graphics. Nice ambient sound effects. Wide variety of hunting regions and animals. Good selection of gear(hand guns, rifles, binoculars, etc) CONS: Not violent enough(when animals attack you, it's pretty dull). First person perspective can be awkward and dizzying(I would have liked a third person perspective option). If there was a third person perspective and the maulings were more graphic, I would give this game 5 stars. As is, I'll give it 4 and a recommendation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Activision is writing the good reviews!, November 19, 2003

By A Customer

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

Don't be fooled by the long detailed and positive reviews. Donna Johnston from NY is listed in the credits of all the Cabela titles as the QA Lead. Why is she giving her review on the games she worked on which you see on every Cabela game? It looks like Activision is paying their employees to write reviews for them. This game has poor graphics and is tedious and boring. There are much better hunting games out there. Don't waste your money on their falsely advertized garbage.
