    Although I may have some issues with its vocabulary, the clever combination of elements taken from other games create a uniquely approachable experience that manages to incorporate strategy, multiplayer, and good, old-fashioned boardgame sensibility. It might not ever be my Friday night go-to, but Quarrel is a no-brainer for anyone who's got an extra five bucks and a few wordy friends online.

    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).… Expand

    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.… Expand

    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.… Expand
