GamePro

A beautiful and realistic experience from the ground up, The Hunter isn't just a game for enthusiasts of the genre, much less fans of the sport. It's a title that embraces the love that developer Avalanche Studios feels for the game, and passes it on to its subscribers with grace, class, and unmatched authenticity.

ArmA 2 with animals instead of insurgents. Sublime hunting thrills, but pricey if you want all the toys. [Oct 2009, p.78]
