Cabela's Trophy Bucks for Wii Reviews by Gamers

As a Cabela's game it was ok, but it did have some draw backs.

The use of the Wii zapper was a nice touch that made the game feel more realistic and fun to play, compared to one that I played that did not use this and the controls were odd. The graphics were not so bad. There were definately a lot of levels, guns, and other toys to use.

The one draw back to the game is the hunting spaces. The hunts that I got were all times hunts. You basically have a small amount of time to reach you goal, or you restart the level. Most of the time you only get one chance to get a shot in. Also you are confind to a small area to hunt. You walk so far and then you just stop and can not go any farther. Basically, it is just a shooting gallery. You get a set amount of time and a small area, you miss you're done.

The good thing is that it looks like the Cabela's hunting games on the Wii are getting better with each one. So, hopefully the next one I try will be a bit better.

I didn't have high hopes for this when I rented it. I've played a few other "hunting" games and I know none of them realistically fill the void of real hunting. But most don't insult your intelligence like this one.

Basically your world is very small and your best tactic is to run at the animals and shooter them FPS style before they run off screen. There is really no advantage to stealth or strategy as the animals are "alerted" to you long before they are viable targets even with a scope outfitted. So rather than use any type of skill, just run toward a grouping of bucks and start blasting.

Yeah... that's realistic
