Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2 for the XBOX is the sequel to an older hunting simulation with the same name. Except this time
the gamemakers ruined the gameplay. It no longer feels like a hunting simulator. It no longer has free-roaming levels, you cannnot really create a strategy either and the graphics have gone downhill, looking more cheap. While the first game was missing a good story, the excellent gameplay mechanics made it fun.

Dangerous Hunts 2 does the complete opposite and implements a cheesy story about you being stranded with others in the wild. You try to survive as animals track you down and attack you. You also will have missions where you have to find other people and rescue them. There is the usual assortment of weapons like pistols, rifles, shotguns and a knife, but it will be very limited and ammunitions is very scarce. There are many scripted game sequences which tries to add to the survival storyline, but none of it works effectively because of the bad voice-acting, cheap character animations, dumb CPU and downgraded graphics on the animals. The level designs are completely linear where you are forced to walk along a set path and accomplish stupid fetch quests. The overall production values feel cheap and the game is very boring to boot. Do yourself a favor skip this sequel and buy the first Dangerous Hunts instead.

Pros:
the first game still is better

Cons:
-you are the hunted, not the hunter
-completely linear levels
-boring fetch quests
-stupid A.I.
-hard to find ammo
-cheap graphics
-cheap animations
-scripted events suck
-bad voice acting
-dumb story

A Terrible Letdown :(

I cannot even begin to describe how disappointed I was with this game. The first Dangerous Hunts game was a blast to play. It was just like real hunting, with the added thrill of having to deal with wild animals that attack.

But this game is horrendous. It is an adventure style game where you follow around an amazingly annoying one eyed man who tells you what to do and doesnt bother to help you at all. Moreover, his vocabulary is limited to two or three dumb remarks.

You cannot hunt in the traditional sense. You cannot do anything except the stupid little tasks that the one eyed guide wants you to do.

This is NOT a true hunting game. Stay away and don't waste your money on this piece of crap. Get the original Dangerous Hunts game, instead.

This game SUCKS

I echo everything that the previous posters have said about this game. I bought the game, because of it's neat concept. Go to various areas and hunt the world's most dangerous animals. It sounded like alot of fun. However, the graphics and animations are similar to those of the original nintendo in my opinion. Also, you have to perform stupid tasks like jumping into a raging river and then get to the other side, which proves to be unbelievably difficult. You can never find the wild animals, because they are always finding you and killing you before you can even get to them. This game is just not a fun game to play and it will end up sitting on your shelf without ever being opened. You are better off keeping the money in your pocket

So much Fun

All you people who right these bad reviews, just aren't open minded. Its a fun game with a little twist, if you like hunting more, then just stick to the first one but if you like action with thrill of being attacked at any moment, then this is the game for you. You are a hunter that has to rescue people and kill animals like wolves and mountain lions etc. There are missions like flying a plane that crashes and you have to care for the injured pilot while attacking and killing various dangerous animals. The people that don't like this game it's because you expect for the game to be exactly the same as the first one. Now does that really sound like fun? I think this game is fun and exciting! I loved it!
