This game stinks unless you completely don't care about good graphics than you would probably like this game but it is so unrealistic and the graphics are so bad it was not worth 20 bucks when i bought it about 3 years ago I have found better hunting games than this I know it's a playstation game but there is still some games with good graphics but this one has horrable graphics!

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 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.

Tuffer then what I thought

Well for starters, the grafics are really good and the selection of gear is excellent. The reason I think it's tougher then what I thought is probably b/c I'm a little on the impatiant side. I've played the game for a couple of hours last night and the only thing I killed was a rabbit. One thing I haven't figured out is when it gets dark and it's gets dark pretty quick is how to get in your tent to sleep. One more con on the game is that the health meter runs out a little on the quick side regardless on what type of man or woman you pick. Over all I would say if you like hunting then this is a good game to get.

Excellent hunting game!

one downfall of this game is that for different types of hunting you don't know much about there is extremely minimal instruction given. i figured there would be hunting tips available or something, but there aren't. you just have to play by ear to learn how to hunt different types of animals well in different environments. another is that the hunters run out of energy ridiculously fast. i have never had to eat four meals and drink three bottles of water during a day of hunting. if u run out of supplies in the woods you're [out of luck], but then again u consume the supplies so much faster than in real life it is a bit ridiculous. otherwise, this is a completely realistic hunting game. i have actually gotten bored at times sitting in my imaginary tree stand waiting for something to come up so i can shoot it. it has a great array of hunting areas and a large selection of animals. just about any weapon you could want is available, and you get to choose from a wide variety of supplies. i got it for my husband, and i have basically taken it over as mine!

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.

At last! A hunting game for the Playstation

The screenshots I have seen on other websites look amazing. The X-ray mode is a feature I have never seen in a hunting game. I have been waiting for a hunting game on the Playstation ever since one came out for computers several years ago. I love hunting and don't own a computer.

The best hunting game I have ever played on any platform

The game cabellas big game hunter is a great and accurate hunting simulation with many differnet and existing firearms including 30.30, 2.43, 270,and 7 millimeter to name a few. You can drive fourwheelers suv's and snowmobile's to speed up your hunt through the trecherous terrain of different states to hunt all of America's big game including Antelope, big horned sheep, and White tail deer. I have been hunting for a long time and found that big game hunter and its state of the art graphics and terranin detail parralell to the real thing with astounding realism. Oh and don't foreget the game warden is watching so dont get careless and shoot an endangered species. Happy hunting and good luck while hunting all your game from Montana to Missouri.

This game is a one of a kind. Its great the graphics are a 9 on a scale 1-10 10 being best. Sounds is a 10. and game play is a 10. When I first seen this game I thought there would ne no way that it could be a very good game but for [the price] I thought that if I didn't like it. It would always make a good christmas present. I loved the game. Try it out and I garuntee you'll think the same. The only bad thing is that the health bar runs out a little too fast.

An excellent hunting game experience.

I have played many of the hunting games for the PC and was eagerly awaiting the release of this playstation version. I am NOT disappointed. The sheer amount of levels and options puts many of the better PC games to shame. The graphics are incredible for a playstation. The animals look, move, and react exactly as you would expect in real life. The sheer amount of animals is incredible for a playstation game. Lots of big game animals (including grizzly bears and wolves that will attack you !) and lots of smaller varmints and critters. The levels look amazing, with great looking trees, land, and even vehicles you can drive around in ! The best part about it is that you can also play it on your PLAYSTATION 2 with all the filtering on etc, and it looks SWEEEET ! As there aren't any hunting games for Playstation 2, this fits the bill very nicely. Some lovers of hardcore action games may find it a bit sedate, but stick with it, it's a new experience and a lot of fun !
