    It has some minor gameplay annoyances, but overall it delivers the slow-paced but nonetheless thrilling experience of game hunting.
  2. Features some tremendously rewarding moments when you finally get the kill. Getting there however can be a frustrating and repetitive business.
  3. Sure, I can mow down countless humans in any FPS, but drilling a gentle animal is not my idea of a good time. [Mar 2003, p.83]
  4. A first-rate hiking simulator. [28 Feb 2003, p.86]
  5. It should be able to tide over hunters looking for some off-season adventure on their PS2s. On its own merits, though, it isn't much of a game.
  6. True hunters will see nothing but shortcomings. [Apr 2003, p.87]
  7. If you're the type that wants instant action and do not like games that take a long time to play, then this game will not appeal to you. They did a good job of capturing the true way of hunting and to be honest they might have made it less realistic.

  1. You know how many money Activision has gained after, probably a decade of this flood. I don't know how many, but Activision need to cancel this pathetic franchise, who will even care of Cabela 2014 ? anyone? no. Full Review »

    it is a great game for hunters, and anyone who wants to feel what hunting is truly about but its close to the real thing.

    It is so cool how you can hunt every animal from an musk ox to a polar bear and a lot of deer.
