Video Game Reviews of Cabela's Deer Hunt 2005 Season
Customer Review: Falls Short
Summary: 3 Stars
The wonderous scenery and sounds of nature give the game a realistic effect. However I find the game controls to be poorly programmed and frustrating at times. The game allows you to carry with you a few items that you may need for the hunt. They should have designed the controls where you could toggle through your belongings to find the proper piece of equipment you want to use without having to press a long series of buttons to find it and return to your gun site.
Here's an example of the awkward game play:
Say for instance I'm bow hunting and want to look through my binaculars. It requires me to press a button, then toggle through until it is highlighted, then pull the trigger button to bring it to my face. Then press the trigger to remove it from my face. Then press a button to then be able to toggle through my belongings again to find my bow. Then press a button to raise the bow. Then pull the left trigger to pull back the bow only to find the buck walking right next to you but then you don't have the ability to quickly turn and shoot. By the time you turn around, the deer is long gone.
Another faulty game control issue is that I cannot reprogram the up and down to work the way I want. It when I pull the thumb button back, I think the person should look upwards. Instead it is the opposite. I had to retrain my mind to fit the game. Most games allow you to change these options.
Activision should take some cues from games like Halo or Ghost Recon on how to develop their controls.
Choosing my gun and packing my equipment is confusing and not logical. Often I spend 5 minutes packing what I think is needed only to find out that I have to go back and repack because certain States have different requirements. They should provide you with these requirements before you spend so much time packing.
At times I find the bullet camera a bit annoying.
For instance if I shoot an arrow towards a far off mountain, the arrow travels miles and miles. I must admit I enjoy the arial view of the scenery. But not very realistic...
Anyhow, this game is not the best video game out there.
But it appears to be the best HUNTING game available.
I just hope they make some improvements where needed for the future editions.
I'd also like to see them come out with a turkey hunt and bird hunting game to help satisfy my hunting jones...
If Activision was smart they would also find sponsors to sign with them. Allow me to virtualize the various manufacturers like Benelli, Berretta, Winchester, Remmington, Browning, Mossberg, and all the others.
