An easy hunting game, October 17, 2002
Reviewer: A gamer from Denver, CO United States
I've never held any kind of weapon in my life (other than maybe a fork) but it seems like a decent simulation of the real thing. Not necessarily a complaint but it was easy, I finished all the levels off in one day and ended up with over $20,000.
The best hunting game I have ever played on any platform, April 10, 2002
Reviewer: A gamer from Bangor, Pa. United States
The game cabellas big game hunter is a great and accurate hunting simulation with many differnet and existing firearms including 30.30, 2.43, 270,and 7 millimeter to name a few. You can drive fourwheelers suv's and snowmobile's to speed up your hunt through the trecherous terrain of different states to hunt all of America's big game including Antelope, big horned sheep, and White tail deer. I have been hunting for a long time and found that big game hunter and its state of the art graphics and terranin detail parralell to the real thing with astounding realism. Oh and don't foreget the game warden is watching so dont get careless and shoot an endangered species. Happy hunting and good luck while hunting all your game from Montana to Missouri.
It really [stinks], April 6, 2002
Reviewer: A gamer from Bobsville, Transylvania
This game is one of the worst games I've played. It has [bad] graphics, it's slow, not realistic, and boring. You see, I bought this game and I still regret it. How realistic is it when you follow little orange dots? In this game, the game animals have little flourescant red dots on them, so you can go run up to them and shoot them. And, how about the X-ray mode? How many hunters run through the woods with an X-ray machine? How about the penalty system? You immediatly get a fine from the warden(somehow, he manages to just pop up when you blast a squirrel. And sometimes if you wound a bear, it'll run away. You also have a health meter. If you stand in the woods too long, you apparently just die. Please, people, this is a new game. The creaters didn't put any effort into it. Save your money, you're better off waiting for a different hunting game to come out.
An excellent hunting game that is similar to the actual hunt, February 3, 2002
Reviewer: MarkPeddle from Byram, NJ, USA
It is about time that playstation came up with a hunting game. I have been waiting for years for playstation to make a hunting game like have been available on computer. I was a little concerned that the playstation game would pale in comparison to other computer hunting games. I was pleasently surprised to say the least. Not only was it as good as the computer version but in many areas it was even better. The game play seems to be faster on the playstation game console and the graphics seem to be a bit better also. Hopefully Cabella's will release other hunting games in the near future(like they already have for computer). I highly recommend this game for both the hunting enthusiast and the ameteur as well.
The Very Best Game I've Ever Played, February 3, 2002
Reviewer: A gamer from Byram Township, NJ, USA
I was never one who enjoyed the idea of hunting down animals and killing them (even though I grew up in a household of hunters), but this game literly made me want to take the next plane to Newfoundland and hunt for moose and caraboo. I really enjoyed the over all realistic aspects of the game (choosing the right gear, and calls). It was pretty tough at first but, once I got the hang of things I found it pretty easy, and exciting. Not only can you kill big game, but also small game such as Canadian geese, and lynx that show up in your trophy room (be warned there is a fine of $200 for shooting non game animals and you get kicked out of the hunt if you shoot more than one non gamer in an area).
Your health bar does run out pretty fast, but with a hop on your vehicle (quad, snow mobile, Suv) you may return to the lodge for more supplies.
Be wary of all the animals. Like live animals they will attack if provoked (be specially wary of wolves).
If you ever had any interest what so ever in hunting, nature, or animals, Cabela's Big Game Hunting is for you!
This Chump Stain reaks of Awsomeness, February 3, 2002
Reviewer: A gamer from USA
I really enjoyed blowing away the many creatures in this game!!! Not only was I able to kill big game but I was able to shoot small woodland creatures as well and that made me very happy!!! I really liked to shoot squirels and rabbits as well as geese. If you like to kill things but not in real life this is the game for you. Even if you don't like hunting you'll love this game.
An excellent hunting game experience., January 26, 2002
Reviewer: A gamer from Jacksonville Florida
I have played many of the hunting games for the PC and was eagerly awaiting the release of this playstation version. I am NOT disappointed. The sheer amount of levels and options puts many of the better PC games to shame. The graphics are incredible for a playstation. The animals look, move, and react exactly as you would expect in real life. The sheer amount of animals is incredible for a playstation game. Lots of big game animals (including grizzly bears and wolves that will attack you !) and lots of smaller varmints and critters. The levels look amazing, with great looking trees, land, and even vehicles you can drive around in ! The best part about it is that you can also play it on your PLAYSTATION 2 with all the filtering on etc, and it looks SWEEEET ! As there aren't any hunting games for Playstation 2, this fits the bill very nicely. Some lovers of hardcore action games may find it a bit sedate, but stick with it, it's a new experience and a lot of fun !

Cabela's Big Game Hunter Ultimate Challenge, December 26, 2001
Reviewer: Jason Hilton from Telford Tn
This game is a one of a kind. Its great the graphics are a 9 on a scale 1-10 10 being best. Sounds is a 10. and game play is a 10. When I first seen this game I thought there would ne no way that it could be a very good game but for [the price] I thought that if I didn't like it. It would always make a good christmas present. I loved the game. Try it out and I garuntee you'll think the same. The only bad thing is that the health bar runs out a little too fast.
Tuffer then what I thought, December 12, 2001
Reviewer: bill rogers from houston, texas United States
Well for starters, the grafics are really good and the selection of gear is excellent. The reason I think it's tougher then what I thought is probably b/c I'm a little on the impatiant side. I've played the game for a couple of hours last night and the only thing I killed was a rabbit. One thing I haven't figured out is when it gets dark and it's gets dark pretty quick is how to get in your tent to sleep. One more con on the game is that the health meter runs out a little on the quick side regardless on what type of man or woman you pick. Over all I would say if you like hunting then this is a good game to get.
