I was really dissapointed when I rented this game(I beat it in 45 minutes!). Its not really hunting at all!, its more of an adventure game. Its like Lego star wars (have fun beating it then get bored of it) so just buy the first one. PS. Im so glad I didnt buy it!!

time to safe money here...

Well, if you're looking for a hunting game, trust me,- you shouldn't buy this one. If you're looking for an "EGO-Shooter", you can but shouldn't either. There's no 3rd person perspective which makes defending of charging predators much harder (just like the first part of D.H.), no arms, equipment or tags to choose. I would recommend one of the 'Big Game Hunter' series or the new (at least here in Europe/Germany) 'Cabela's Outdoor Adventures', where you can go fishing as well. The 'One' star's just for the graphic.

Dangerous Hunts Series

When I bought the original Dangerous Hunts, I loved the game to death. It was so realistic; animals would only attack you if you got to close to blew your cover. In this game, however, the entire point is to defend yourself and others from dangerous (perhaps, RABID) animals. It's not really even a hunting game, the only "hunts" you go on are in between "missions", where after you pick your weapon, stalk and kill the designated animal, a predator attacks you and you're given a new task to defend yourself from its attacks. These "missions" and "hunts" are somewhat random; the game doesn't have a very good storyline. The storyline is that one of your friends from a rescue operation got lost, and you are sent to find him. By the end, you still haven't accomplished this goal.

There is no "quick hunt" mode. Only the story mode and there are bonus levels similar to the "action zone" feature of Dangerous Hunts 1. You can unlock these by shooting special stumps in story mode.

I do think this can be considered a good game if you look at Dangerous Hunts 1 and 2 as a SERIES, rather than two seperate games. BUT BUY DANGEROUS HUNTS 1 FIRST.

Here are the cheats for this game (go to the main menu and select CODES):
FAST HEALTH REGENERATION: SKULL, EYE, FOOT, BOLT, HAND
DOUBLE THE DAMAGE INFLICTED BY THE HUNTER: HAND, FOOT, SKULL, EYE, BOLT
INCREASE MAX HEALTH: EYE, BOLT, SKULL, HAND, FOOT
UNLIMITED AMMO: BOLT, HAND, EYE, FOOT, SKULL

Okay, but definitely NOT a hunting game

This game is okay. If you're looking for a hunting game don't buy it, you don't really hunt, you walk around and get attacked by animals and you have to kill them. It is pretty fun the first time you play it but it is not a very long game. I gave it 3 stars because it is pretty fun but I was expecting an actual hunting game.

OMG, This game is HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

gave up on it... :(

Perhaps I'm too old for PS2 games and junk, but my daughter bought it for me. I have written to Activision and searched the internet for help, to no avail.

THIS GAME IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO GET THROUGH!

The animals come at YOU. YOU are not the hunter.... You are the HUNTED!

The opening scene is okay and you get attacked a few times by a mountain lion, a grizzly bear, and a pack of wolves. If you survive that, you make it to a bridge. The guide crosses the bridge but then it breaks, so then you have to jump in and swim in the river (try not to die getting bashed on the rocks!) If you survive that, you have to go to the right and get out of the water to a path and follow the path up (look out for another mountain lion!). From there you walk up the path to a cliff on your left. Somehow, carefully, you have hop down a series of rocks down the cliff. Now Activision says you are supposed to see a cave/tunnel and go through it which leads you back to the guide. BUT.... The whole screen is so black and you literally can't see anything! Next thing you know, "Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!" you fall off the cliff and die. Over and over and over and over....

I can't get through this section, so I just gave up and said the heck with it. Activision needs to make hunting games a little more realistic and not so hard that you give up on them!

Anyway, the graphics and the detail of the game are really great. The playability and/or ease of play is where they get you. This game is a serious pain in the *** that will frustrate you and possibly even anger you to the point where you just want to break the darn CD!!!! :(

FUN!! But too short!

This game is definately different from DH1! But this is a FUN game. The challenges aren't enough. The game doesn't last long enough. But it's a fun game to play.
