Strengths: Realistic gear and weapons, tries to be as true to life as possible to get the "genuine hunting feel"
Weaknesses: vehicles hard to control at times
Summary: If you like to hunt in the deep woods, you will love this game. Unlike many of the shooters for the Xbox, you will not be able to use the tried and true strategy of arming yourself to the teeth an run around blasting away at everybody and everything. No, in this game, your "enemies" or prey are much harder to find. You will have to use real life items to attract them like deer scents, decoys, and calls (but in this game, the deer call sounds like a cow mooing... like the Hurricane would say, "whazzupwitdat???"). You have to be more patient and deliberate with this game and actually wait for the deer to come to you, but when you do bag your first deer, it makes you feel good because of all the work you did to stalk and finally kill your prey. You can also use a variety of weapons like bows, rifles, and magnums.
You will also have access to a variety of vehicles, such as snowmobiles, ATVs, boats, etc... which will allow you to cover more ground than by walking. Unfortunately, the vehicle controls can get pretty tricky at times, even frustrating. You will also encounter some glitches in the game; like when I was stalking one deer, out of nowhere, my hunter decides to get up and begin walking backwards away from the prey, instead of towards it. (Huh?). The graphics could also have been a little better, but it is good enough to serve its purpose. Overall, a decent game.
