The graphics after the first scenario are gorgeous and highly detailed. Though I doubt if the game warden would merely find you unconscious after you've been mauled by a grizzly. It works ok on my computer, except that in the final campaign I can no longer access my inventory and re-installing didn't help.
The red dots aren't much help, because the animals can be ten feet from you or ten miles away. But my hunter keeps fainting, for no apparent reason, even when he's wearing proper clothing and I keep plying him with food and drinks and keep him at a walk. In the first scenario, when you are hunting in the "jungle of South Dakota" the trees and brush are so thick you can't see your quarry. (No, really). Except for these really lovely graphics, there isn't much to recommend it over the many other hunting games on the market.
It's kind of neat when a bear or other predator sneaks up on you and mauls you. Very annoying when you've finally hit a big horn sheep with the requisite bow-and-arrow, and your hunter faints. When you finally manage to get out of the initial scenario, the game picks up and becomes quite enjoyable. (What a wimp). Oh, well - buy it on sale.
What adds to the thrill of the game is that occasionally you are not only the hunter but also the "Hunted". Activision made some great improvements to thie Cabela's series of hunting games. Preditor animals come after you while searching through the thicket. Give you a nice burst of adreneline.Activision also made it easier to navigate through the controls and find stuff in your backpack. The game follows sort of a story line where you travel from lodge to lodge trying to fill certain requirements and trophies. I enjoy this game much more than their 2005 Deer Hunt. Along the way you might be called to help rescue an injured hunter or to take down an injured animal. Nice job Activision.
