Best Hunting Game I've Played Yet!
Well my title says it all, this was a great game. Let me point out the pro's and con's.
PROS
-Plenty of missions to complete that should take you a good while to finish, and when you are done you can always go back to play for a gold trophy.
-Good range of animals, from warthogs, to elephants.
-Nice selection of weapons, probably more than 30.
-Online community, where you can play tournaments uploaded by other gamers, or upload your own, or just talk about the game. This adds greatly to the replayability of the game, as there are always new challenges for you to download and play.
-Free play, which allows you to choose what animals you want to hunt, and which weapons and add-ons to use. All weapons, animals, and add-ons are available without needing to unlock them.
-Bullet cam is pretty nice, allowing you to watch your bullet fly through the air to hit your prey. You can change this to activate for every shot, promising shots, or never.
-And of course, I saved the best for last. The level editor. This has got to be the best level editor I've seen to date. You can make great challenges to share online, or to simply share with your friends that play the game. You can make levels that are just as good as the ones that come with the game, making its replayability even longer. You and your friend can make challenges and see if you can complete them.
CONS (Haven't found to many, but here's the ones I have found)
-Some levels are rather hard, such as the ones where you need to track the animals, and their tracks go into bushes and are quite easy to lose in some areas. Eventually you will get it, but it will take patience, and you might get frustrated.
-Not able to shoot off of a horse. Don't get me wrong, being able to ride a horse instead of an ATV is much better, but it would be better if you could shoot at animals while riding it.
-ATV handling just sucks, and doesn't work well at all.
-In freeplay, you can only hunt animals that would be in the area of your hunt. For example, if you are hunting in North America, you are not able to hunt elephants, or lions, etc. This really sucks, because the only place to hunt them is Africa, out of about eight differnt maps. I mean, I know you wouldn't hunt them in North America, but it IS a game, and it really wouldn't matter.
-This really isn't a con, but the level editor, is a little tricky to get familiarized with. If you take the time to read the instructions - online - you shouldn't have a problem.
-Last but not least, I was very disappointed in the fact that the Trophy Room was quite a step back from any other hunting game I've played. Any I've played before will have the heads stuffed, and hung up on the wall, with a plaque under it stating the information on the kill, or sometimes even the whole animal. Some even have them where you can virtually walk around to look at each animal. The trophy room on here is simply pictures, and two arrows, which you click to flip back and forth though the pictures.
All in all, I only rate this game 4 out of 5, because of the downgraded trophy room. The trophy room in hunting games is one of my favorite things, and I always hope they will be more advanced. I don't understand the reason why they didn't bother to make a virtual trophy room, but I guess that is their choice. For fun, I rate it 5 out of 5, as it is still fun without the trophy room, and the replayability is quite good.
If you are a fan of hunting games, you should definately add this to your collection!
