    A very fun game, but it should not be bought for its hunting value. It is not a hunting sim, if that is what you are looking for. It is very arcade like. For instance, while hunting for Brown Bears in Alaska, I was attacked twice by wolves. I had a wild boar charge me in California, and was jumped by a cougar in Colorado. The animals will attack you a lot if they see you first. However, A very fun game, but it should not be bought for its hunting value. It is not a hunting sim, if that is what you are looking for.

    This is the first xbox game that has kept me up till 3:00 a.m. on a work night. Deer are hard to chase down and kill when your being stalked by a third or fourth party.

I like the fact that once you find a sweet spot you can restart the hunt and go back to the general area with a different strategy. Novice gamers should probably just stick to Halo 2... This game is fun for deep thinkers. My only complaints are that the records system could have been developed better and the vehicles are useless as far as I can tell. 93% (A-) Expand

    Good not great. I had more fun playing Deer Hunt 2004. This is based more on action than tracking and stalking. The graphics and sound are amazing. The menus are clean and easy to navigate. The weapons and equipment are cool but you don't get infinite bullets this time but you can carry a pistol or knife as a secondary weapon. All this leads up to the actual gameplay.

You can't climb over mountains like you could in DH:2004. You cant move from area to area either. Hunts seem to fast even on Hard. It's still fun but I think DH:2004 is better. Expand

    The game is cool, but the controls are difficult to manage. But its worth the 29.99 I paid for it. Looking for cheats on it.

    I am one person who likes hunting games, but finds they become boring after awhile. That is why I love this game. It is more action-oriented, but still challenges you to hit a kill shot from 100 yards away. Just because the animals sometimes attack you doesn't mean this isn't a hunting game. You can still track and kill animals before they ever see you, but when you get sick of I am one person who likes hunting games, but finds they become boring after awhile.

A great game that I would give to all my friends. Expand

    If you like hunting you'll like this. As a hunter you always think about the other wildlife when your hunting now its brought out right to you you must keep your eyes open and your ears.

    You'd have to be very sick of "Halo" and "Counter-Strike" to even consider this one. [Mar 2004, p.95]
  2. I appreciate the attempt at drawing non-hunting fans to the game with modes like the Action Zone and being hunted by animals in general, but the end result doesn’t seem as much fun and can be downright frustrating at times.

    It may be simple, often slow, and quite basic, but the novelty value alone makes it worthwhile.
