 Better than previous versions November 29, 2007
48 out of 49 found this review helpful
Let me start by saying I've played previous BGH versions on the Xbox and PS2.
Pros:
-The Wii controls work very well for this game -- I completed the game using the new Wii Zapper and thoroughly enjoyed it.
-They have removed the animal radar (replaced by a "hunter sense," a 3rd person view that enhances animals visible on your screen).
-They removed running fatigue.
-They have removed lodges (saving now occurs multiple times per map at various checkpoints, you don't have to spend 10 minutes hiking back to your lodge to save your game or get a different weapon, weapons can be swapped out from the menu).
-The graphics are slightly better than previous BGH versions.
-The have removed the virtually useless vehicles from the previous versions as they are not necessary since you no longer traverse from map to map to get to the next lodge.
Cons:
-There are fewer weapons (There is only 1 crossbow, and there are no bows in the game. There are only 2 pistols. However, there are numerous calibers of rifles to choose from).
-The game feels very short, there are definately fewer maps than in previous BGH versions. I completed the whole game in under 5 hours.
-The game crashed on me on 2 or 3 occasions.
-Navigating the terrain can be annoying at times because the smallest rock or log can halt you in your tracks, and there are many invisible barriers preventing you from walking places that often would serve as great vantage points.
All-in-all, it's an "ok" game. It's entertaining to sit around with your friends and chuckle during some instant hunts after you've finished the relatively short game -- as long as you're not expecting something with awesome graphics or a game you're going to take very seriously. A great buy if you can find it used somewhere.

I bought this game a started playing it- I finished it on easy in 4 hours. So I put it on expert and finished it in 4.5. The graphics are not what I have come to expect in Cabelas or other hunting games for that matter. On the Wii they were not good at all.
For the game play the Wii controllers work really well for this. But the game was just poorly done. There were literally instant hunts where the mission was finished in 12 seconds or so- on a regular basis. The animals literally swarm the areas. This might be good except for you cant buy tags even- you can only hunt the ONE animal they tell you you can and the number they let you- often one.
The weapons were very few and non factors. The game picks your weapons for you to start each mission. If you chnage them you can easily be kicked out for using one not authorized.
Tracking is all but totally absent.You cant set up your own tree stands or canopies- though there are a few in the game you can use.
I do like the the fact you can hunt endless small game like rabbits and birds- if you use the right gun- which is a pain to switch out.
In all the game was fun for a bit but the graphics, weapons, hunting zones, animal populations were all below standard. It is worth it if you can get it cheap from somwhere. But, it wont last you more than a day or two of target practice.

This game was a little difficult to get the hang of at first - having to use the remote as a guide to see and the nunchuk to move around. The first time my son played it, he didn't play long. After a week had passed, he tried again. We then played with the remotes and figured out how to use the scope and night vision modes. Since then he has played it almost daily. He does use something to prop his arm on so he can remain still while aiming.
 Great game December 26, 2007

This is a great game with several different venues. I would suggest it for anyone who loves hunting but can't always get away. The hunts are fun and the wii version is easy to use and challenging. The hunting gets more difficult and intense...as you continue you become the the prey at times. I would suggest this game to anyone...even my 17 year old nephew enjoyed it! Good hunting!
 Fun, good game, price a little high June 12, 2008

Fun game. I give it a solid 4.5. Several people talk about how good the game is...Amazing! I like hunting and action games alot, and this definately seems like one of the better ones. Don't rent it, buy it. The only thing on the down side is the price. It was $18.05 a earlier today, so I left it in the basket. A half hour later I came back to proceed to the checkout and it had increased to $29.99. I seriously can't believe my luck today. Cabela has release a new game called "Cabela's Buck Tropheys," and has another one on the way! How can they charge $30 for the game when a new one has been released and another is in the making? You might as well shoot the bucks instead of spending them! If the price drops to $19.99, don't hesitate, buy it. Over all, pretty good game. If the price drops, I will buy it first thing tommorow. I recommend it to all gamers who like hunting, action, and outdoor games. And it definately stands by its ESRB rating. Now, go and get yourself a copy before everyone starts calling Costco expensive.
