All of the environments seem to be U.S.-based except the odd-ball, Africa, i.e. This is not to say that the game lacks information - each weapon, environment, and animal as a mini-encyclopedia article for reference - but just that it's more pick-up 'n play if you don't have to decide for yourself whether a. Scenarios not only add some occasionally compelling context (Defend yourself from attacking wolves with naught but a pistol!), they are also easier to get into for players unfamiliar with guns and bows. There are over a hundred different scenarios ranging from three any-animal tags in a given area to specific conquests such as the biggest bull in the herd or the violent bear threatening campers (which is not to say you actually meet any people.) They unlock fairly quickly, since you don't have to master all nine (give or take) scenarios in a tier to progress to the next one. While the game would certainly feel incomplete without Free Hunt Mode (where you customize your location, what types of animals you want to hunt, which decoys, calls, and weapons you'd like to bring along), I got most of my kicks in Challenge Mode. This allows you to name one of four character models (three guys, one girl - whose voice sometimes mysteriously turns male in her death throes) and have access to your own trophy room, which unfortunately is just a scrapbook of the stat pages on animals you killed during a mission and not an actual room with a fireplace and heads mounted above the mantle. Then, even the uncrouched run feels slow (and why couldn't the shift button have been a toggle? It's a pain to hold it down.)īefore you get into any of that, though, you need a profile. That said, there are also significant stretches of time where you may have trouble finding something to shoot at. Yes, there are still moments where animals run in convenient circles, but there also tracking adventures, and times where you will be mauled by an angry moose(/cougar/grizzly).

They just sort of galloped back and forth across the screen. I replied that I am a small animal, but he proceeded to drag me to the back of the bar to hunt deer with a plastic rifle, nonetheless. A rather drunk fellow, after watching me down a shot of vodka, asked (to complete his trifecta of ultimate attraction: games, alcohol.) if I liked to shoot small animals. My first experience with a hunting video game actually came not too long ago in a sports bar. Ignoring that nagging, Madden-esque feeling, Hunting Unlimited 2009 manages to be something I wasn't really sure was possible: kinda fun. The series is still called Hunting Unlimited even though (as we have pointed out in the past), it's hardly Unlimited - especially now with the 2009 tag, which implies that any previous versions have reached their limits, and that this one is liable to next summer.
