5.0 out of 5 stars Closest Thing You're Gonna' Get to a New Duck Hunt!, November 11, 2009

This review is from: Remington Great American bird Hunt (Video Game)

A great hunting game that really resurrects the feeling I got from playing the original Duck Hunt all those years ago on the NES. I'm not too big on hunting sims where you have to sit and wait for game to appear and then if shot at and missed, you are right back to where you started; playing the waiting game all over again. That's what I truly loved about RGABH, was the fact that it is completely void of this style of gameplay. Esentially, it is NOT another Cabela snoozefest. Instead, it's a fast-paced, action-filled, arcade-style bird hunting game!

Like I mentioned above, the first thing that came to mind when I jumped into the game and saw my faithful canine companion run out to spook the birds was Duck Hunt. It was a very rewarding and nostalgic moment for me that slapped a smile across my face. Expanding on the Duck Hunt feel, I was pleasantly surprised to see that players can create customizable character profiles and that there was a nice variety in level design too: lake side, snowy fields, etc. And while I have yet to try the multiplayer with three other players, the game does support four simultaneous players, which is awesome for family and friends. However, I did play it with two other players who are by no means technophiles, but the game was easy enough and rewarding enough for all of us to have a great time. I definitely recommend this title to all Wii owners!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of arcade bird hunting action which reminds me of the Classic Duck Hunt!, November 11, 2009

This review is from: Remington Great American bird Hunt (Video Game)

I picked this game up because of the box, and I didn't put it down until I had the controller in my hand. Remington Great American Bird Hunt is fast paced action bird hunting game which is light hearted, and very entertaining. The game is more arcade than a true hunting simulation (which IMHO) is a lot better than other hunting games.

Game does a great job getting you into the fight and throwing lots of targets at you. I've played a lot of games over the years and this one is just pure shooting fun. The game is very easy to understand even though there are a few different ways to play the game. For instance on some levels you have to be really accurate because the game tracks how many misses you make and if you miss too many times you'll find the round over. The good news is that the score you need to pass is relatively low on the beginner levels. My wife, who is not a gamer, was even able to get a Gold trophy in the first tournament, the later tournaments she didn't' do as well, but it just takes practice and any game my wife will consent to play, I'll play!

This bird hunt game reminds me a lot of the old Duck Hunt game on the Nintendo except that the black dog in this game (Rockford is his name according to the manual) will actually help you buy triggering special birds that are worth more points. Rockford is a lot better than the Nintendo dog because Rockford will never laugh at me!

The game is beautiful and the music is very cool. The voice is a little over the top in some spots, but ok. The reason I didn't give the game 5 out of 5 starts is because it's not very long, but the price point makes this game attractive and is certainly worth the $29.99 price. I'll be looking for a sequel for sure.

Secret Hint - I have found that the game will automatically reload your gun for you when you run out of shells, BUT if you manually reload the gun, the reload time is faster! This secret hint will help you get the Gold trophies on the higher levels. If you have any hints of your own, please comment to this review!

Have Fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Arcade Fun, November 13, 2009

As the other reviews have noted, this is not a "sit around and hope a bird pops-up" hunting simulator. Rather it is a fast and fun arcade game very much in the style of the classic Duck Hunt. Perfectly suited to the Wii controller. A good selection of trophies and bonus scoring combos keep the action fun. Of course, the most fun is when multiple people play at the same time!
