Animal movement gives you clues to what it will do next
Dynamic weather and natural hazards
Reflex and Target Shooting galleries
Challenge animals that can now see, hear and smell you
Can you outsmart the true-to-life animals that can now see, hear and smell you? Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 features the most realistic animals ever seen in the Big Game Hunter series. Every animal’s unique movement and behavior gives you clues to what it will do next. To bag your trophy, you must avoid detection through cunning skills and deception. Climb to the top of a cliff for a better angle, but risk being spotted. Take the lower-elevation route with lots of concealment, but compromise target visibility – your success depends entirely on you. Dynamic weather and natural hazards put your survival skills to the ultimate test and make your hunt even more challenging. Shooting scenarios duplicate the controlled breathing, steady nerves and patience required for a well-placed shot. Utilize master hunting skills like advanced stalking techniques to close in on your targets and increase your success. When the hunt is over, head to the all-new Reflex and Target Shooting galleries, where you and up to three other friends can test your reflexes and accuracy. Rated T for Teen.
Available: PlayStation® 3.
This game has re-gressed, not progressed. It was money down the drain. Once you get past the first level, you can't even get to the store. There's not hidden things in every level as they lead you to believe. So far, there's only been one at the beginning. It's 10 times easier to select and use items in the 2010 version than this one, even though it has some faults also. In summary, I would never recommend it!
Honestly, I would rather buy a ps2 and play the old Cabela's games like big game hunter 2003 or deer hunt season 05 or 06. This game doesn't even have a quick hunt mode like the old ones, which, in my opinion, made the game. Story mode is decent and will keep you entertained for a couple of hours but it's not realistic at all. My advice to Cabela's is: bigger, open maps, quick hunt, and maybe just ask someone that actually hunts to help develop or give ideas for the next game. Oh, I love Call of Duty, but as a hunter, I would take a good hunting game over Call of Duty any day. And I have every Call of Duty.
For kids this would be a horrible teaching tool. The game has true guns or bows. The game goes in a linear trail. It should teach kids how to find game, like in an open field. The game has you shooting shotguns at random birds and rabbits and then seconds later shooting moose in Texas. If the games were made like the original Big Game Hunter games; a better choice would have been made.
