Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2005 Adventures Image
  • Summary: Building on the rich history and success of the hunting genre, Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2005 Adventures is the first story-based hunting adventure. Players can hunt and explore using inter-connected maps and trek through six massive regions with varying environments and terrains. As players progress through the game, they can hunt more than 36 big game animals including traditional favorites like elk and moose, as well as rare breeds of animals such as bison, stone sheep and musk ox. Highly detailed and improved instructions on game play as well as guides explaining how to hunt specific animals are just some of the new features added to Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2005 Adventures. If players are in need of improving their game they now have the chance to sharpen their skills by practicing with clay and skeet shooting. After mastering the hunt or if they want to determine how their skills are improving, players can track their progress with high-scores tracking. The game features three levels of difficulty and two game play modes, "Quick Hunt" and "Career Hunt." "Quick Hunt" allows players to hunt without having to worry about time, health or the wilderness survival elements of the game. To experience the complete hunting adventure, "Career Hunt" will allow the player to take full advantage of the game. [Activision Value] Expand

  1. The gameplay is very basic – anyone who wants to learn how to play it will learn how to play it whether they've played a lot of games before or not. Expect the average non-gamer to get at least a few months out of this one.
  2. Graphically it's not up to the standards we've seen that the PS2 is capable of.
  3. Shouldn't be fun, but it is. Playing for too long might turn you into a blood-thirsty hunting cretin though, so probably best avoided. [Jan 2006, p.106]
