If you're the type that wants instant action and do not like games that take a long time to play, then this game will not appeal to you. They did a good job of capturing the true way of hunting and to be honest they might have made it less realistic.

While bit older then some other hunting games and long load times almost ps2 cd feel The depth this game has is wild. Growing up seeing my bro play this(as i had gba) you get allll kinds of equipment, guns, camps, calls, smells, Lots of location and like real hunting. A pain in the ass to kill something. While sometimes the maps feel empty and graphics are ehhhh. If you want, the hunting video game. This old gem be the one to do it.
