THIS GAME SUCKS! 4 OUT OF 10

From what I've seen of Cabela games over the years they seem to be improving, but there are some, like this game, that remind you of why it's sometimes better to do these things in real life.
WHAT THE GAME IS: You hunt animals, that is your basic task at hand. You can go through a career mode or just do a quick play as three different age groups of hunting.
GRAPHICS: This game kinda looks ugly, I expect more from a Playstation game made in 2000, because there were PSone games made three years before this that looked better.
MUSIC: There is only music on the menu screen and introductions, and it sucks. Otherwise there is no music, only boredom.
GAMEPLAY: Oh boy, this game flunks the grade in this area. The controls are asinine, and are barely reliable to the point of where they borderline unplayable. Analog controls are a complete mess, and there is no option for directional pad control. No matter which hunter you choose he always moves like: A.) He has arthritis, B.) He's constipated, C.) He's crapped his pants, or D.) The "wood monster" wishes to escape from it's denim prison. The controls for the ATV is also bad, as you can barely drive it because of how sluggish and unresponsive the controls are. Plus, you will be wandering for long periods of time trying to track down your an animal and kill it. You will be left screaming; "HURRY UP YOU SLOW B*STARD! WHY DO YOU MOVE LIKE YOU'RE CONSTIPATED? DAMMIT! UGH! WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW AND WHY ARE THESE ANIMALS SO FAST?!" though, you will be screaming far more colorful things into the air when you play it. The only saving grace are some decent gun controls, that's about it.
OVERALL: Just go in hunt in real life, it's more fun. This game is almost unplayable, and not worth your time or an investment due to unreliable controls and long moments of boredom.
It's about time!

It's about time someone makes a hunting game for the PSX. I mean how many damn fighting games can I play before I seek something NEW. for anyone who hasn't played the genre, I give you my experience, I doubted it, I played it, I loved it.
An easy hunting game

I've never held any kind of weapon in my life (other than maybe a fork) but it seems like a decent simulation of the real thing. Not necessarily a complaint but it was easy, I finished all the levels off in one day and ended up with over $20,000.
It really [stinks]

This game is one of the worst games I've played. It has [bad] graphics, it's slow, not realistic, and boring. You see, I bought this game and I still regret it. How realistic is it when you follow little orange dots? In this game, the game animals have little flourescant red dots on them, so you can go run up to them and shoot them. And, how about the X-ray mode? How many hunters run through the woods with an X-ray machine? How about the penalty system? You immediatly get a fine from the warden(somehow, he manages to just pop up when you blast a squirrel. And sometimes if you wound a bear, it'll run away. You also have a health meter. If you stand in the woods too long, you apparently just die. Please, people, this is a new game. The creaters didn't put any effort into it. Save your money, you're better off waiting for a different hunting game to come out.

This game is awsome! The only bad thing is you only have dots to show where the animals are in easy mode.
