    Once you’ve gotten into the darkness that the game portrays, you’ll find that there is little here that is too difficult to figure out and most of what you find is all out action.

    Aching to be more than it is, Hunter: The Reckoning is a pretty-looking, atmospheric action game that makes a decent weekend rental with pals.

    Hunter would have benefitted from a ton more firepower - you know, the kind of bang-bang action where ammo is a foreign concept and you simply hold down the "kill" button to mow down everything in sight. [July 2002, p.122]

    The ability to play with three other skilled hunters adds to the twisted fun, and is what ultimately raises The Reckoning just above an average rating.

    But chopping realistic arms off of realistic zombies soon loses its appeal, and it’s not long before Hunter becomes a bore to play.

They were bad 15 years age and are worse now.. Why do these games have fans. Controls are a joke, its repetative and boring, badly balanced, voice acting and animations, everything is provably bad, even by the standards of the time.. Did the people that like this game play, Ninja Gaiden, Baldurs Gate Fable , Mech assalt, Far cry insticts Otogi, , Halo, almost every other game on the Xbox put Hunter to shame, in every way.… Full Review »

Judging by the dozens that were put up by people with the same comments in the same time period with the same nicknames, one can practically understand that the rating of the game is very high. In fact, this game is rubbish.

    My wife and I went through it completely, and we have never seen a more terrible cooperative game in our lives! A terrible camera that binds one player to another, and even after the death (!!!) of one of the players, the camera decides not to let the other player in for another 15-20 seconds, which entails the death of the second player, the continuations are limited to more than one player, but on all at once, passing without support with treatment does not make any sense, the weapon is weak, there is no balance. Despite the good sound design and voice acting, the game looks terrible graphically, from the character models to the entourage, despite the fact that the levels are quite atmospheric. The bosses in the game are original, but the overall game design of the game is monotonous, overly complicated, and ugly.

    I don't know how the game got such high ratings from critics and users. Either they took a bribe, or in 2002 there were very low-quality standards. The first part of the series is a clear failure. I'm scared to imagine a GameCube version. Glory to Ukraine!    … Full Review »
