Video Game Reviews of Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011 with Top Shot Elite
Customer Review: Best Game on the Wii, Hands Down
Summary: 5 Stars
Firstly, I am not an avid hunting-game fan. This is the first hunting-ish game I've owned... i say hunting-ish because it is nothing like hunting at all (which is a good thing IMHO). Real hunting involves hours of waiting in the woods, staring at your feet, and attempting to fain the occasional animal noise to hopefully hear something that may be an animal off in the distance. Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011's campaign mode is fast paced with a passable storyline and very engaging combat sequences... yes the animals fight back and you will be eaten, often. It is more of a FPS than hunting game.
Pros:
Challenging/engaging campaign (I played through it, up to the final boss over one weekend with a friend, and it didn't get boring or monotonous)
Lots of unlockables (in the form of shooting galleries)
Shooting galleries galore, and they're very fun. Often times there are more animals than you can squeeze a trigger at. I'd estimate it should take at minimum 50 hours to post decent scores in all the shooting galleries.
Replayability is very, very high... as the galleries are plentiful and engaging.
Gun / wii-mote & nun chuck holster is ingenious. Very well put together and thought out.
Galleries can be played in co-op OR 4 people taking turns.
Galleries are great if you just have a few minutes here and there... no long time investment is necessary to walk away with an entertaining experience.
Cons:
Scope on plastic gun is basically useless, as are the on-gun sights (on-screen sights track your wii-mote movement). "Hunter sense" can easily be viewed without the red lens scope.
Targeting is laggy with the wii-mote and often imprecise. I'd estimate if you quickly aimed from one side of the screen to the other, it'd take 1/2 second for the crosshairs to follow.
I think there is more animal variety in the galleries than exists in the campaign... not sure why the developers would do this.
Campaign is fairly short (~10 hrs at a very leisurely pace) and final boss is DIFFICULT.
