I really enjoyed TrophyHunter and DeerHunter 2005 for PC, so I thought I'd try a playstation game and see what it's all about. I'm not a hunter in real life, but I do enjoy playing hunting games more than other sorts of shooter games. Fewer aliens, more rifles, maybe some bunnies - I guess that's what I like.

Cabela's Outdoor Adventures is a pretty good game. Personally, i don't find many, many different vehicles that interesting. I do enjoy all the firearms, though. And bows. I really like the game options: you can play Adventure mode and create a character, you can compete in a markmanship or trophy contest, or you can take a Challenge and beat a record. You can also play in Free Hunt mode, where the game fits you out with equipment and thrusts you into some locale.

The graphics are good-to-okay. Repetitive motions on some of the animals get a little tiresome - this is where Deerhunter and Trophyhunter have spoiled me - but the basic animal forms look good. Animal AI is good enough - could be better. (Calls work well, but you must be close enough. Tons of Apparently Unrealistic Things occur with the animals, but c'mon - it's a game! It's unrealistic, but do you really want to be playing this game for ten hours, waiting in ambush?!)

Ambient environment - clouds, animal noises, ground cover, wind, rain, etc - is excellent! I love the eerie sound of foxes barking in the woods! Weasels, badgers, mountain goats, bears, wolves, and those out-of-control vicious bobcats make the game richer than just walking through the trees, hunting hoofed creatures.

The fishing option is repetitive, yes - it takes no talent, only timing - but I enjoy it when something else in the game has frustrated me. (Like finding the right Trophy Mule Buck...) You can only fish near a fishing sign, and you can't move once you begin casting = dumb, but you'll get over it.

My fave part of the game is when the warden steps in and assigns you a special task or mission - rescuing a lost helicopter pilot, taking out a rabid coyote, finding the poacher's camp, harvesting ten rabbits - these surprises are great, and I wish there were more of them! Also, I enjoy the shotgun competitions.

A good game, especially if it's on-sale! Occasionally heart-pounding, so make sure you have a good sized screen to fully appreciate the stalking experience.

This game is realy cool.You can hunt 36 small,medium,and big game animals all over North America.There are also trucks,atv's,and snowmobiles to drive(and wreck).There are lot's of acsorees,guns,and clothes.You can get attacked by a animal get into trouble by the warden you can sleep in a tent but overall this is a pretty good game.

We bought this for our son (age 7) for Christmas. He enjoys real life hunting and fishing and loves this game.

I have been playing this game the last few days and it has been a blast. The graphics are pretty decent and the ability to fish in the waters is a nice touch although the fishing aspect could be greatly improved to make it more fun. It's really neat though to find a boat and drive it through the creeks. So far the season hunts have been fairly easy (i'm on level 3 now) even though I am stumped on mission 2 in the mission section. They say to take down an elk in any stand in under 3 hours. Each time I take one down they say I failed to complete the mission. Maybe it's a particular kind of elk only, I don't know... It would help if I knew exactly what one looked like in the game instead of guessing at it. But that fact aside, it's still a very fun game and i recommend it to any hunter, exhunter, or even someone interested in hunting. There are 4-wheelers, boats, trucks, snowmobiles.

I purchased this game for my 10 yr old son as a birthday gift.
He really enjoyed it and it was not as difficult for him to operate. The game is challanging and has alot of different options the use in creating your own specific hunts!!!! I rate this game an A+..

My brother encouraged me to get it, so I put it on my wish list. Vouila! I have it on Christmas! Anyway It has very nice graphics, and you can even go into fishing mode.But to be on the safe side, you might want to rent it first. Also it has blood and violence.Now I am trying to get Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2. These Cabela games are great for kids ages 9-adault. And it is also good for Future little hunters.Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2

This is a nice game but it is not as good as the others. For one thing all huting games r hard but this one is the hardest one i have played. It is hard to find the game because it does not have the dots showing where they r. U can drive allot of different vechiles in this game and there r many different places to go. It is very realistic like other hunting games but the fishing is hard and not worth doing. I like all of the other hunting games better than this one. U can get hurt very easy in this one also. It is a great game with great graphics but it is very hard. I would not buy this game just for the fishing.

very fun game it takes a little while to learn how to play there are lots of buttons to use at one time.

I love the game. It is really fun. Although it is easy on greenhorn mode (that is easy mode) it is fun on sportsman and simulation. I love it. It is worth every penny your heart will race as you get farther in the game.

Dear lord I have to write an essay and I have been awake for 30 hours.

It was awesome. I totally love it. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys virtual killing.

There, happy?
