I just bought this game and played it for the first time last night....one word....instense. The sound effects and outstanding and you really feel as if you're in the hunt....love it!
husband really likes this game. he'd rather be hunting in the woods for real but this is great for an indoor activity. i would reccommend this game to hunters of all ages. it can become very addicting. but a great choice fro a gift over all.
I bought this game for my husband for Father's Day yesterday and he stayed up until 1:30 in the morning playing it (even though he had to be at work at 8:00 a.m.). He enjoyed the game quite a bit, but he did find it quite a challenge to kill the mountain lion, and then the bear after that. Although he had read the advice about pressing the button repeatedly to get the lion off of him, it didn't seem to work for him and he had to move to the side when the mountain lion jumped off the mountain. Then he swung around and shot him, and continued to shoot him until he was dead. This took several tries. I am not a hunter, but my husband is. He really enjoyed the game, but said it isn't quite the same as real hunting, as you have to do some things in this game that you wouldn't do in real-life hunting in order to actually kill the animals. Still, I'm glad I bought it for him, and I imagine he will continue to get a lot of enjoyment from this game as he masters ths levels.
This is a lot of fun with the Sure Shot Rifle but takes several levels in order to get to all the hunting game. The Mallards don't seem to show up to get to the next level.
I purchased the Wii version of this game more than a month ago and I still love playing it. I have completed all twelve hunting missions. There are a couple of issues I have with it however. First,it does not allow you to access all your guns at anytime. You must chose four of them before the hunt begins and you are stuck with those unless you quit the mission and start over. Second, I wish it included more predators. For those who are having trouble killing the mountain lion in the first mission, you must fight with it as well as shoot it. When you are prompted to push a button on the screen KEEP PRESSING THAT BUTTON REPEATEDLY even when the lion is getting ready to bite you. This will throw him off you giving you a chance to shoot him. The 12 gauge kills him quickly however you will not get many trophy points for using it. I strongly recommend this game. It generates hours of family fun.
I like the graphics and effects, but I wish it had muliple-user options. Why not allow for big game hunts with 2-3 others or, at least, allow you to compare your medals and scores with others. Maybe have stats for various users.
I purchased the game last week. I managed to play it several hours over the weekend. It is actually a pretty good game. The graphics are not perfect, but overall I would recommend the game to others who are competitive. You have the option of shooting certain animals or holding out for the Trophy prize game. Being competitive myself, I found myself wanting to hold out for the best game available to shoot, thus increasing my score.
Very disappointed by this game. My sons can't get past the first "level" (mountain lion). Additionally, they removed all the fun features that were in the previous version such as maps, zoom and the "hunters sense". It also forces you to follow a single path versus finding your own way like in the older version. They seem to have removed all the fun and turned it into some crazy "compliance" game. Don't waste your money.
