This is a great game. Some people are offended but it is just good fun. I say lighten up. The graphics are okay, but the sound effects are awesome and the weapons are pretty cool, too. This game is a neccessity!

waste of software

An avenging deer sounds like a cool thing to someone like me who hates the idea of hunting. Unfortunately, this game is slow, one dimensional, and lacking in any challenge. I was wishing for a deer to come along so I'd have something to do.

If you hate hunters this is the game for you. Because you are a deer and you get revenge by killing the hunters.

Hilarious

I loved this game. It is fun to play and with all the crazy sound effects this is a must get. It will make you roll.

Not for the serious gamer, but lots of fun

Well, until Simon & Schuster comes out with a 5th "Avenger" game... I've got 'em all. I haven't played it out yet, but with what I have played this is what I see.

The environment in "Deer 3D" is a excellent evolution from the first person side-scrolling in "Deer and Deer 2". Not knowing how much previous experience that S&S has with "true" 3D environments ("Bass" is really 2D with a third person perspective) this feels like a good start with somewhat usable terrain features. With a few small beefs. Either I haven't figured it out yet, or you can't climb the trees. An obvious hunters perch. Also do the trees factor into how hard it is for the hunter to hit you? If not they should, cover and concealment after all. And one observation. Is it just me, or are there no negative elevation values on the ground? There seems to be a definite level ground or zero point and it stays at zero or goes up from there, with the very obvious hills. But nothing going down.

The weapon collection is interesting, with one suggestion. Unless I haven't pulled it off yet, there's no "one shot kills." Any of the weapons have the very real potential to do it "quick n clean" but not in the game. This may be an obvious choice by S&S to increase the difficulty, or keep it a lighthearted fun game. But the possibility of it, controlled or random, would be nice.

As with "Bass" (see my review) this is not for the serious player of RPGs or RTSGs, looking to tax their new computer or graphics card. But for those of us loyalists that were hooked by the first "Avenger" it's GREAT. The only reasons that I'm not giving it five stars I've mentioned above. With the way they're advancing, if S&S takes this concept any further. There is a possibility that the next one can compete directly with the current flock of "serious" 1st person 3D shooters.

Starts off well

This game has an exciting beginning and is wicked funny. One drawback is that I find it impossible to kill the last hunter. Overall, the game is pretty easy except for the last two hunters and I recommend getting this game only if you play games about 30 minutes a day.

Bad is too nice of a word.

Lousy, offensive, crude. Don't waste your money on this one!

This is the best game in the entire world!

I received this as a gag gift since I'm not a big fan of the hunting games. In Deer Avenger, you play the first person in the form of a deer, going after stereotypical hunters. Along the way, though, you have to make sure you don't shoot any friends like the hiker or environmentalist.

There are several weapons to be used as you progress in the game, both attacking ones and attracting ones (pizza, beer, etc.) There are also 'attractive' sounds used to lure the unsuspecting hunter.

I found the graphics in this game to be a bit behind the technology although the sound is appropriate for the scenario.

Playing the game only stays interesting for the first few hunts as a typical gamer will find that this game is too easy and offeres very few twists and turns.

Installation was quick and without glitches.

So buy it as a fun gift, but don't think that it will keep the recipient busy for any lenght of time.
