    For fans of hunting games only. The graphics and sound are not even close to what 360 gamers deserve. The gameplay is less than inspiring, and there are some absolutely awful minigames you must complete to progress in your career.

    The progression in the career mode is interesting, and trying to bag a moose from a down-town one-shot-kill is just plain intriguing.

    While it’s nice that the game tries to mix stuff up with the duck hunting and the fishing, none of these additional activities excel in any way. The A.I. is lacking, the excitement is lacking, and so are the graphics and sound to convince me I’m there.

    Cabela's Alaskan Adventures needed a complete overhaul for Xbox 360 and, instead, we've been given a sloppy port of the old generation engine and gameplay. The way hunting and fishing are presented falls outside the realms of pure simulation and arcade fun, making for a confounding mishmash of ideas that don't work together.
  5. Game Almighty

    It certainly has enjoyable moments, but overall just doesn’t deliver the visceral experience that hunting should be.
  6. Operation Sports

    The AI, as mentioned earlier, is really poor. The animals do not behave anywhere the manner you would expect, and even the hunters themselves all seem to be asthmatic couch potatoes based on the breakneck speed in which they fatigue.

    It’s floundering helplessly in transition from PC to Xbox 360.

    This is the best Cabellas hunting game yet. The graphics could be a little better but overall a good game.
