Cabela's Survival is sold solo or bundled with the Top Shot Elite rifle controller, which offers more exacting aim during hunting sequences. But unless you expect to play (and replay) the bonus shooting galleries - railed shooters that have you blast furred and feathered wildlife in House of the Dead fashion - then a standard controller is preferred. Otherwise, the game can easily be finished in an afternoon, leaving hunting fans wondering why they wasted it playing a lackluster action-adventure game.
The one thing that it so desperately needs -- entertainment value -- is sorely lacking in areas where it shouldn't, ultimately dragging the title down to the pit of forgotten titles.
First: Good news! This is the best Cabela's game, Now: Bad news, is boring. Cabelas's Survival Shadows of Katmai have an interesting story with a good development, have great graphics, and other good things. But the big problem is the problem that the other Cabela's games have: The reason for use the weapon, is cruel kill an animal, (yeah inclusive in a game).
Cabela's Survival is a surprisingly decent game. My friends and I rented it to play it for the laughs, and while it is laughable and silly, it's pretty fun too. The combat is plain ridiculous, the story is bizarre, and the characters are totally weird. But, in a way, this game is fun too. It's only a rent (2 1/2 hours max), but it's fun and simple and silly all at the same time. You can't take it seriously, but it is an enjoyable, if ridiculously repetitive.
This game is by far one of the worst games I have ever rented. Although I was taken by surprise when the main character can clear a 15 yard jump from a full sheet of ice to another ice covered ridge from a dead jump. I was also surprised that the bears have Kevlar like armored hide. This game is a definite borrow from a friend. There is no redeeming quality in this horrible game. Cabela, you have once again let down my expectations, thank you.
Cabela's Survival Shadows of Katmai is one of the worst play station games I have ever purchased. This game lacks the quality of surviving, for it has slow sensitivity and terrible in- game stories. The multiplayer mode is like a cruddy arcade gme that is confusing and lacking quality. Due to the slow sensitivity the aimer takes extensive effortr to move. Due to that, the results in survivla mosde is saddening I rate this game a !
This is absolutely the worst game that cabela has come out with for its year of production and if you want an amazing cabela game get the big game hunter games for cabela in any year for xbox 360 but obviously the newer the game the better it is! 2012 and up is preferred by myself. Good luck with any other choices or should i say chances if you don't take me seriously!!!! I've been gaming for many years now and have tried every game cabela has come out with because I'm an avid hunter as well as a gamer! Good gaming to everyone!!!!!!!!!
