I was kind of curious - can a hunting game work and be exciting at all? But let me say that even tho the game mechanics work (shooting and walking around) the game almost fail of grasping the concept of hunting. I would liked to be in beautiful wide open spaces and have the freedom of movement in the wild nature. Instead U are very limited and are running into obstacles and invisible walls a lot. Seems paradoxical but in this hunting game, U often feel like you're in an corridor shooter even tho U can see far around you. And the wild life are also running into those wall, so they sort of bounce off it and come running unrealistic close to you, because they got no where to hide in that direction.

The AI is way to dumb: the wild life isn't intelligent enough, would have been nice if they wanted to survive more and was a lot smarter when it comes to getting away form the hunter (the invisible walls plays a part here for sure). U'll see some situations where they are running around in circles and that spoils the whole being-in-nature setting.

All levels have a trophy animal, that has to be kill to end the level. Some levels have boss fights, but they're all done the same way. Still good there are there tho.

Some things are ok, shooting has a nice slowdown follow the bullet camera action. Standing by a lake in the woods and shooting ducks also feels good. Graphics are ok , nothing spectacular, but still ok.

Didn't pay much for it and I did play thu it. Also gonna check newer versions, when they are cheap, because if they could make it work – then its cool to walk thu nature and kind of relaxing game type to play. A shooter where U don't get shot at lol. And O I got moral enuff to always try my best to get a clear shoot, so I don't maim the animals :).
