Cabela’s Big Game Hunter (Wii)

The Wii version of Cabela's Big Game Hunter works fairly well compared to its original counterpart in the Xbox 360. The gameplay engages players to venture different lands, meet fellow hunters and then you play mini-games of shooting different sizes of varmints.

There are still some drawbacks though in the gameplay that makes this game unworthy. For one, there’s an adrenaline-based bullet time which colors the environment in black and your target shines with a bright yellow color, where’s the hunting fun in that?

Moreover, the game doesn’t give the player the freedom to choose the weapons to use in a hunt. You get to unlock different types of weapons, but you can never get to use them throughout the game unless probably you fail in accomplishing a successful hunt then you get the chance to use a weapon of a higher class.

You are basically given a rifle, crossbow and a duck call to be used for hunting. Your dreams of playing a hunting game with various weapons at your disposal will just remain a dream when you play Big Game Hunter. It also strips of you one of the joys in hunting, exploration. Instead of exploring an area, trying to find the hiding place or habitats of animals, you are easily provided with a map, where you can see an X mark indicating the location of your targets. Following a certain path towards the target is not exactly what hunting should be like.

The Wii controls do wonders with this game. Holding the controls gives you the feeling of actually holding a rifle instead of analog sticks, like that of the Xbox 360. Overall, if what you’re all after is hunting down animals without wishing for more weapons and exploring a land on your own without map, then you’ll get to enjoy Cabela's Big Game Hunter.
