U cant shoot people and dont review a hunting game if u r against hunting. This game is so awesome there are so many rifles and accessories to choose from, then u can go to the target range and test out ur weapon. Carreer mod is fun because u can pick from lots of ages of chars, each has its strs and weaknesses. I only wish stand hunting was a little easier because the animals never come. I wish that u could be more stealthy. And I wish that u could hunt in more places than just North America. If u like hunting this is an awesome game to rent or buy!

An alright game

thats right folks...anyone sitting here reviewing a GAME for killing deer, need to loosen up, come back to reality, and stop blaming hollywood and games and the like for an increase in violence. Man has been hunting since man has been on this earth. It is a way of life. So some people do it for a hobby or sport, and some of us enjoy playing a game for release. GET A LIFE. ITS ONLY A $%^&ING GAME.

That said, it is quite enjoyable. Honestly playing this as much or more than Castlevania, its not as good mind you but its somewhat addictive, you want to keep going to reach your goals etc. Not ever going to be a game of the year type. but its a guilty pleasure, and at 20 bucks, worth it.

a classic big game hunter

First I want you to know that I rate this game 4.5, but 4.5 rounds to 5 so 5 stars it is. I dont use wow thisn game rocks reviews so I will give you a breifing. This is one of the greatest games i have played. Its graphics are very good and it
is very real with scales like energy and you cant run to far if you have heavy suits on. This is not a game where there is 1 animal and you try to find it and kill it. You start of with for animals in the location. It will indicate there position with a red dot. You must be quiet and stalk them down to kill them and get trophies. When you beat the game they will give you some secret characters. Then you beat it with them. I will give you a scale about my ratings. this will tell you why i gave it 4.5

Graphics:1 star
Creative scales:1 star
Loading time:.5 star
animal behavior:1 star
see your log cabin:1 star

As you can see this game has bad loading times. It might be just me being impateint but... Another thing that parents should know (if your under 13) is the amount of blood. When you shoot an animal it will blood splatter. It is not large but violence and blood made this game T for teen.

LOADING....LOADING....LOADING....LOADING....LOADING....

The game is very frustrating. With the default equipment you get tired very quickly with every character. I know they are trying to be realistic but realistically you would need a truck to carry half the basic set of equipment. You get tired just walking up a little hill and you walk extremely slow most of the time. The hunting areas are really small, it is like hunting in somebody's backyard. You can easily trap the animals against the hills and they run in circles until you kill them, which is not much of a challenge. You also have to wait for the game to load all the time. You walk just a few hundred feet and then have to wait for the LOADING..... To further add to the frustration, you frequently slide down the smallest hill and it says you are too injured to go on, and yes, you guessed it, more of that LOADING.... Also, if you walk or slip into the water you can't get out and guess what, yes, you guessed it again, LOADING.... Like if that was not enough, you will get in trouble for shooting near a building. You do it twice and, oh, the suspense is killing you, I know it.... LOADING..... ARRRGAHHH!!!! I could go on, and, well, I think I will. When you use the vehicles they are really hard to drive. Most of the time I get stuck in trees or drive off a cliff or into the water and LOADING.... They should change the name of this game to Cabela's LOADING.... All I wanted to do was some hunting. My final thought is RETURNING.....

Activision is writing the good reviews!

Don't be fooled by the long detailed and positive reviews. Donna Johnston from NY is listed in the credits of all the Cabela titles as the QA Lead. Why is she giving her review on the games she worked on which you see on every Cabela game? It looks like Activision is paying their employees to write reviews for them. This game has poor graphics and is tedious and boring. There are much better hunting games out there Don't waste your money on their falsely advertized garbage.

great game

this is a great game if your are the outdoorsman type. You get to hunt in many various locations, frome alaska to arizona to montana and even canada. You get to hunt polar bears, moose, elk deer, and there is different species for each one and many more animals. If you atre worried about the blood, there is only a little when they are shot. This game has great replay value too. with three difficilty levels, and different hunters to unlock, this is a great game.

wow, that's all i have to say is wow

haha omg people, it's hunting, not that big of a deal, u think we'd b here today if we didnt kill animals? what's the difference between a cow being slaughtered to put meat on your table to feed your children, and putting some venison on the table? And god don't give a game bad reviews just cuz u disagree with hunting.

Unlimited Playability and great graphics

I picked this game up for a modest 29.95 and from the use I have gotten out of it that is an intense bargain. Big Game Hunter has very realistic hunting, and with limitless combinations of location, animals, firearms, and seasons, this one will never get boring. Where I live this is the closest to hunting we will ever get !
