I'm not a big fan of hunting games, they get kind of repetitive, but this one is an exception,, probably because it's different from typical hunting/fishing games... in this game, you don't use bait to attract the animals, you follow their tracks around... Which is a little bit more fun than sitting in one spot using deer calls... You get to choose between hunting elephants, zebras, elands, and,, um,, some other kind of African plain animal,, forget what it's called... whichever one you pick is the only one you can shoot- If you shoot something you don't have a liscence for, you loose your liscence. (It's kind of tempting to shoot them though,, even though you'll lose the game it's still just so tempting... :)
Elephants are actually very easy to shoot- When you shoot at them, they charge at you, so then you can just continue to take shots(CAREFUL though, when they charge they try to stomp you to death!) The other animals are all fairly easy to shoot, they're just harder cause they run away quicker.
Be careful when you're out looking for prey though- several dangers await- every waterhole contains crocodiles that will swallow you whole in one bite,, lions ocassionally roam around that will attack anything they see/smell and don't like(which includes Safari Trophy Hunters...), and like I said, wild elephants will charge at you if you get to close to them or try to shoot at them(actually the smaller ones sometimes run away, but the big ones,, that's a different story....)
There are also vultures that occassionally roam around waterholes or dead animals,, and while they're very very tempting to shoot, they're an endangered species, so if you pull that trigger,, your game's over...
This game requires a lot of thinking and patience, and you might want to turn off your comp's sound and put on some music, because that hunting guide dude can get very annoying after a while
Excellent game, give me this over Deer Hunter or Trophy Bass Fishing anyday!
