Cabela's Big Game Hunter (Wii, 2007)

Overall I would say this is a very good hunting game. There is no way to make everyone who plays these type of games happy. Some think they're too long, not realistic enough, not enough action, limited in the kind of animals you can hunt, etc.

With that said I believe the makers of this game took that all into account and made a game that would fit what most people would want and give everyone a lot of what they like. The overall detail of graphics is very good, which is an area that many hunting games struggle with (the mule deer really look like mule deer). It also has a variety of tools, rifles, bows, etc to use.

It does lack in the area of have true control of what you are going to in the game with it's scenarios and the first time I heard a moose bugle like an elk on the game I had to laugh. The other thing is the behavior of the animals if they are spooked. But compared to many of the other hunting games out there it is very good and worth the price paid for the entertainment you will get out of it.

I really enjoy this game! It's awesome!
It's not the most challenging game, I'll admit, but great for coming home and relaxing to. Works great with Wii zapper, and Nykon perfect shot, in my experience. I read that it's multiplayer... but don't see anything like that. I also don't understand where to find a lot of the animals. I wish there was an FAQ of this game, but can't find one.

The boss fights (bear, cougar, wild boar, lion) are pretty fun, but very repetitive. Overall, I'd say a good game.

But the multiplayer option and location of all the animals is still a mystery...

This game is very fun to play if you like to hunt. It is a little difficult at first learning all the buttons to push on the wii controller, but once you figure it out it's fun. I'm 43 years old and still have not got all the way through the game but my 12 year old son has already mastered it. Go Figure!

The game is okay but I expected more since it was a Wii game. The thing that frustrates me the most is the animals spook behavior. Once you spook an animal they run back and forth and you constantly hear the galloping around you. I wish they could make these game slike Grand Theft Auto or Oblivion...not the prostitutes and magic...but rather the size of an area and the freedom to do what you want. I wan them to give me a moose tag and turn me loose. I don't want to have to walk across the map to talk to Cliff Mcgee in order to hunt the moose. I also don't want a map that has the pin point location of the moose. I'm hunting.

Okay game but they need to make it more realistic for my taste.

When i got this game up and running thought it might be hard to do when using 2 controllers. But it wasn't pretty easy controls to use at the same time. Graphics are great. Very realistic. Keep up with mission plan and you can move right along. Anyone that hunts would enjoy playing this game.
