Brief synopsis of Cabela's Big Game Hunter

It is 2008, and controversy and gaming go hand in hand. There's another Grand Theft Auto game in the pipeline, the UK government is giving it the big 'I Am' regarding sales of games of a certain bent to people of a certain age. For every pet simulator available, you can bet your bottom dollar there is a game featuring lovely sorts of death. Cabela's Big Game Hunter is somewhere in between, for sure.

Yes, Big Game Hunter is a videogame that charges players with picking off unwitting moose, elk, deer and the like, with a steady sniper rifle. Delightful.

Taken at face value - a hunting game - it does its job of immersing players in a game that's about as straightforward and no-nonsense as they come in 2008 (note that this title has been released before, in simpler times, on PlayStation 2). It's very much a case of choosing your hunter, choosing your weapon, and taking to the scenery of greenery for a shooting session. But there are hazards, and should you encounter one of the game's wild cats or bears, you may find yourself in a life-threatening situation. It serves you right, you savages!

Very easy game, and you can get all 1000GS in about 6 hours!

Thought this would be better than it is. Graphics aren't that good and there's no challenge or enjoyment to it. Shame, looked good on paper.

Much better than the african safari, graphics have come a long way, a lot of you may be thinking what the hell were they like befor!

but from the last game with the mans legs walking in jagged movements looked like he was made from blocks of lego. but i enjoyed this game. would never think of buying it, liked the rent tho had it for 2 days.

The game is quite easy but does get a little annoying and tedious at times. Easy to get 1000g from it but will take a few hours to do. Worth renting for the points, but otherwise in all honesty I would not bother
