Made in Romania!

Do they even have hunting or know anything about it in Romania? They cleary don't know much about it which explains why your run out of breath after five seconds in the game and have to walk painfully slow 90% of the time. Also you can walk around while you shoot which my dad would kick my ass for doing. It turns out Cabela's Big Game Hunter, Cabela's Deer Hunt 2004, and Cabela's Dangerous Hunts for the Playstation 2, Xbox, and PC versions are all made in Romania. No wonder Sunstrom, the originator of the game went out of business here in Indiana. I was so pissed I returned this pile of garbage. Any self respecting American should do the same, or not buy any of these games in the first place. You think they could at least make a hunting game in the states. I'm going to wait for Deer Hunter on the Playstaion 2 which is made in the good ole U.S.A. plus the PC version is way better than Cabela's.

5 stars for fun and scary moments!

The hunter has finally become the hunted, and the animals are out for payback. It's about time too.

Graphics: 4 out of 5 (although some areas in the game deserve a 5, like the forest ravine in Quebec or the plains in Tanzania).

Sounds: 3 out of 5 - animals sound good, environment sounds good, it's just a little repetative.

Gameplay: 5 out of 5
So much to do, so little time. Action Zone is very fast and furious, man vs beast. Career Mode gives the game an extra level - buy charters to hunt in specific areas, or complete challenges (like rescue a wounded hunter, or take down a Rhino with a bow!). Huge amounts of equipment and weapons, with different ammo for each weapon, and a huge range of scopes. I'll be playing this one for a while, that's for sure.

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.

This game is great

I bought this game based on the computer hunting games that Cabel's has come out with. I thought the X-box version not only had better graphics, but better gameplay as well. Even if you don't hunt, you will find this game very exciting!!!

Realistic hunting?

About 2 weeks ago I rented Cabela's Deer Hunter 2004. The game is truly a challenging and quite realistic hunting experience. I am planning on buying it soon. That's how much I enjoyed the game. Then I decided to rent Dangerous Hunts to see if it was as good as Deer Hunter '04. Let me tell you I was deeply disappointed. While the environmental graphics should be applauded, the animal graphics are less than desirable. I was truly disappointed in how easy it is to kill a predator. Just run and make as much noise as you can and soon the blocky predator will come running toward you. Lift your gun and shoot it. Sounds simple, right? It is. Even in hard mode.
The variety of weapons to choose from is very good, but lets face it, why do you need them? Especially when you can kill each predator the exact same way with any one of the guns.
After barely one hour of turning this game on I was bored. Simply put. I wouldn't waste my money on this title. I wouldn't even rent it unless it was the last game on the shelf.

Cabelas Dangerous Hunts Is Here

I got a early Christmas present the other day it was Cabelas Dangerous Hunts for Playstation 2. I put it in and I hated it. I took it out about 20 minutes later and put it away. That night I looked at it again and thought it looks so good I have to try it again. I decided to look at everything it had and came out with this. Here is my review and a honest breakdown of the game. This is from 7 hours of playing after two days.

pros

Great graphics

Good AI

Crisp Sounds

Lots of options

Many accessories

Wide selection of animals to hunt and be hunted.

great controls after learning them

Animals kill each other when fighting

Blood and bullet holes are easily seen on animals wherever hit

Cool Challenges

Cons

Bad level design

No vehicles

Faint glitches when shooting

Pressure sensative controls

No Third person view

Can't carry more than two baits or calls

Can't walk anywhere must follow a set course

Animals die to easily with any weapon

It is a fun game and has just as many pros as cons. I hated it at first and then it grew on me and I liked it alot more. I have to say for my first time but I would rent this first and see if the pros beat the cons. I do reccomend this to anyone who likes hunting or hunting games.

great hunting experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont be fooled by all the trash talkers out there this is a great game with amazing grapics, mission variety, animal reactions, weapon variety, a realistic death sequence and all that other great stuff. lets face it folks there's nothing more satisfying then killing your first grizzly with a knife. tis is a great game and this is just my opinion but still i love this game and it was worth every penny

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.....
