Hunt or be Hunted

One thing that I want to make clear is that Dangerous Hunts is a hunting simulation. It is not an arcade shooter like Halo.
Only an idiot would compare this game to Halo, because they are different games. In this game, patience and strategy play an important part of getting your trophy. You can pick your equipment, from guns, to rifles, to crossbows, clothing, food rations, whistle calls, baits for luring animals and more! Picking your equipment is just part of the fun as you try to figure out what will be useful against certain targets. You can hunt a variety of animals including deers, lions, bears, coyotes, wolves, elks and more. You also have the choice to hunt in many regional map locals. The graphics look amazing and really convey that immersive feel. The sound effects are realistic and sound crisp, from the sound of gunfire, the howling of animals, the blowing of winds and your footsteps on the many ground textures. There is only music in the game menu, but once you are in the "hunt", all you hear are the ambient sound of the outdoors. It certainly works that way because you don't need music to mask the sound of a nearby target/predator approaching you (for a kill). The controls are preset a bit odd, but can be learned. The action is slow paced as you search for your target, but suddenly you'll feel sweaty as have your target in sight. There are a few game modes and they all place the targets in random locations, making the game unpredictable. Add to the low sticker price of the game and Bam! You have a winner! If you have patience to seek out your target and want to play a good hunting simulation, I highly recommend this game!

Pros:
+great graphics
+good controls
+lots of maps
+lots of targets
+lots of equipment
+immersive
+great sound effects
+great artificial intelligence
+free form gameplay
+budget price game

Cons:
-not for the kids
-very slow pace

Cabelas has made a couple of neat hunting games through the years but none have been as fun as this one. You get too chose from a whole bunch of weapons and hunt fasinating animals. It really gets your heart pumping.

Great guns this game rocks!

I am 9 years old. This game has really good graphics. When the animals get close, it gets blurry, it's cool. You get rifles, handguns, daggers, and knives. You should buy this game, its graphics are almost as good as Hunting Unlimited 1,2,and 3. I bet you will like it. BUY IT.

my husband loves it!

Since I'm not the "gamer" in the household, I can't say for myself, but my husband says it's one of the best hunting games he's played. The graphics aren't the best there is, but they are relatively realistic, as is the game play (you don't just hunt, the animals can turn on you). I enjoy watching him play!

Solid Hunting Game

PROS: Good graphics. Nice ambient sound effects. Wide variety of hunting regions and animals. Good selection of gear(hand guns, rifles, binoculars, etc) CONS: Not violent enough(when animals attack you, it's pretty dull). First person perspective can be awkward and dizzying(I would have liked a third person perspective option). If there was a third person perspective and the maulings were more graphic, I would give this game 5 stars. As is, I'll give it 4 and a recommendation.

are you the hunter or the hunted?

in this game you must first go through a very long and thorough getting ready process.then,after a while,you get to go hunt!its pretty straight forward.you are guy with gun.you go kill animals.but wait!whats this?those of you without your contacts in wont even notice the animals until your screen is flashing red indicating you are being mauled or eaten or shredded or.............what im trying to say is:gone are the old days of you takibg pot shots at helpless animals.now the animals are pissed and will kill YOU.thats different.there are many cool guns to choose from.a sniper rifle is the best so as to avoid being a bears lunch.but if youre feeling froggy,take a shotgun.now youll have to get right up on that deer before you splatter its guts!you also get a backup pistol.just take a .44."the most powerful handgun in the world".be sure and come prepared all you non-boy scouts or youll run out of bullets while a wart hog is gnawing on your leg.theres nothing worse than being gored while youre trying to fight off a viscious beast with a bowie knife.theres tons of options and many modes.the modes vary in the frequency of animals youll encounter.it goes from "dang i wish i brought my beer cause id rather pass out and die in the cold im so bored" all the way up to "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!my tendons are being severed by a team of wolves!!!!!!!".so,find your comfort zone and bring your patience!then go make some jerky!this game is a lot like shellshock nam 67 except your battling critters instead of commies.
