I got this game for Christmas. I put it in my PSP and it starts of with an introductory video of a guy hunting a huge buck named "Goliath." In the legend mode, you play as a diferent member of the Graham family. In each hunt, you have to track the animal that you are hunting and complete challenge hunts like shooting 12 ducks in 3 minutes, or hunting one elk from over 100 yards. These challenge hunts increase and level up your "Hunter IQ." With each level up, you get more information from the tracks. To hunt the legendary animal, you first have to level up to level 3. Aside from Legend mode, there is "Adventure," where you hunt various animals in the levels that you have completed in Legend. There is also a "Tournament." Here, you are in a target competition where there are rifle targets, shotgun targets (clays), and bow targets. There are many pros, and just a few cons:

Pros:

+Easy control

+Good graphics

+You can use all sorts of firearms and bows, and all can be upgraded

+There are many items to help you complete the hunts

+The gameplay is very smooth

+With a scope, it tells you what species you are aiming at, and what sex. It can be kind of difficult to tell otherwise.

+It reinforces good hunting practices by not letting you hunt animals for which you don't have a tag

Cons:

-The balistics are quite unrealistic. You can hit a duck from 200 yards with a shotgun.

-If you shoot a bird with anything other than a shotgun, or if you accidentally shoot an animal for which you don't have a tag, you have to start that hunt over.

-It has been my experiance that you can only track the legendary animal, or animals of that species.

Overall, this is a very good game for anyone. It is a good game to paly during the off season, or just if you want a good, fun game to enjoy. This game is definatley worth the money.

Purchased this game for my 10 year old son who loves to hunt. He thought the game was wonderful. It challenges your skills because you have to accomplish one level of hunting before going on to the next.

i'm one of the "pushing 50" folks. so for me, learning the controls was a bit of a challenge. that joy stick kicked my learning, quite a bit :-) and i'm no hunter, but i do enjoy target shooting.

for me this was just fun. simple pretend fun, seeing if i could hit the target. once i got the controls down, and actually finished the game, i couldn't wait to start another.

i was disapointed to find the controls change from the game, and dangrous hunts. just when i get the controls figured out.

i'm planning to play the game a few more time this winter.
