    This game gives me a rush just thinking about it! I am an experienced hunter and I believe this game is much better than hunting altogether. I mean whats the point of killer poor poor innocent animals, you know it! I mean it just makes you feel bad about yourself. So That is why I purchased this game. It is just incredible. This game has made me feel so much better about my life. I This game gives me a rush just thinking about it! I am an experienced hunter and I believe this game is much better than hunting altogether.

    I love the realness in the game and the fact that you have to try and track down the deer unless you use trophy beacon but thats for rookies.You have a chance to kill 9 different deer with a whole lot of variety in weight, age, size, and racks this games definitely deserves a 10.

    This is the greatest game that I have ever played. It has the most realistic graphics and techniques that I've ever seen. The best part of the game though is the adrenaline rush you get when you get your crosshairs on the biggest buck you've ever seen.

    I played Cabela's previous hunting games and I am hooked! Cabela's Deer Hunt: 2004 Season combines the battle tactics of a Splinter Cell with the undertone and control of a sweet Doom style game. All of this control and tactic isn't enough for you?-There are secret weapons, secret prey and a BEAUTIFUL landscape. One of the only fall-backs of this game is the size of the I played Cabela's previous hunting games and I am hooked!

All of this control and tactic isn't enough for you?-There are secret weapons, secret prey and a BEAUTIFUL landscape. One of the only fall-backs of this game is the size of the maps. Loading speed has always been an issue but I pity the poor soul who has to hunt in those landscapes. There just aren't that many slopes in an Saskachewan(For example). Vehicle control is choppy, as it's always been, which discourages you from using the vehicles to get around and the over-all feel of the game's interactive element is very "first person". That is to say, nobody is watching you. Advice for a future Cabela release. -Decrease AI sensitivity to presence -Increase number of rack per area -Place more aggressive AI into area to pit man against nature, instead of just man shooting nature. -Decrease slopes per map on average and raise the tree leaves higher from the ground(We like ducking down and looking but that's rediculous)… Expand

    Could have been an awesome game,but some bugs are just too frustrating,like when u get down of your tripod stand and sudenly die for no reason every time u see a deer.But thats still the best hunting game ever made.

    Whoo where to begin? This game is great and has impressed me on its realistics. I am a hunter and this game is exiting for me. 1 point off because it is not like real hunting. Waiting in a deer stand for hours in the rain, snow, hail, and tornados on a set that is sideways and uncomfortable. Thank you

    This is the best hunting game I have ever played. Realistic graphics and real outdoor sound. I got the same exact whitetail I got when I went on my first hunt. A nice 8 pointer

    This is a game that requires patience, preparation and persistence. Combine those three qualities for a successful hunt in a visually compelling game.

    Hunting games are still niche titles, but this is a really good one. [Nov 2003, p.48]

    That exhaustive level of accuracy severely limits Deer Hunt 2004's appeal... If you don't already know a bit about hunting, you may have a tough time of it. [Nov 2003, p.130]
