Rocky Moutain Trophy Hunter, August 22, 2000
The single most stunning part of this game is the beautiful environments. The photograph quality backgrounds of majestic mountains disappearing into the clouds are travel brochure quality. Gameplay is identical to earlier hunting games, that is, you pick out your equipment from a choice of logical and useful list, then off to the hunt. RMTH is limited to one region, but that region is 14 square miles of wildly differing terrain and foliage density. All the animals, which include Elk, Sheep, Bear, and Moose, are moving around in real time, and you can shoot anything at any time. Combo hunts, where you'll pack calls for multiple animals will actually become the norm. You cannot stalk prey in RMTH and merely select a spot to hunt from the topo map. Often, this will put a tree directly in front of your hunter, blocking the direction your prey is approaching from. The only cure is to return to the topo and move slightly, most likely resulting in the animal turning tail and running out of range. The animals are 2d rendering that appear quite pretty from the rifle scope or binoculars, but thier spastic shambling looks awful in regular view. Locating a kill is ridiculously difficult. You return to the map and move off in the direction your game ran to after shooting it, and blood trails are often found very close by, but after that (even using marker flags supplied by the game) you're basically in for a click fest of moving your hunter in tiny increments then jumping to the hunt view, doing a 360 to hopefully spot the critter laying among the daisies, then returning to the map to repeat the process until you either get lucky, get bored, or find something else to shoot. Only once in all the animals I've taken have I come accross the dead animal graphic that tells you you've found the kill. I always just stumble accross kills after vigorous searching. There isn't much that seperates RMTH from the slew of hunting games on the market, and for the price, there is definetly better choices out there.

Stuck in your spot., August 22, 2000
RMTH is a great game, but it is old enough that the 3-D movement is not incorperated. It is a good game, and can be bought for very little money, but i duno if its worth it.
