I've played Cabela's big hunts on the PS2 and this on the Xbox, so I know what the general handling is like on the PS2 and I know what this particular game is like on the Xbox. The controls are a bit pants but lets face it how many realistic animal hunt games are there?
In this one you can hunt any number of endangered species without being arrested for poaching. Unfortunately you can't sell their skins or tusks, but you can't have everything.
The game play is not too bad for such a budget game which we've got to admit this is. You have to sneak up on your prey like Elmer Thudd hunting 'wabbit' and if you are too heavy footed naturally 'wabbit' runs away. You do get a little red marker in easy mode to show you where animals are, in harder modes you've just got your eyes.
You get a whole range of guns and there are hunting licenses and everything.
All round its not too bad, hunting modes are set out in the ways they are in real life, with lots of red tape! Wouldn't recommend buying it for kids though in case they get some ideas about hunting little fluffy.
