Yes I will be getting back to RPG’s very soon but I said i’d write the review on Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2010 after getting a couple of days of fun from Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures 2010.
Well I actually liked this one better than the last one, this was more fun and took much longer to get all PS3 trophies, you can complete this game in a day but if you really want to complete everything, which means all gold medals, all mini-games and all PS3 trophies or XBox360 achievements then it’s going to cost you two or even three days.
This game doesn’t spend too much time on the aspect of searching for your hunt like the previous game, your pretty much directed to where your animal is going to be, the focus here is more on your accuracy, ability to work out the best vantage point and maximize your points for each kill.
Compared to the last one there wasn’t as much in the way of weapons, you didn’t get a bow, just a crossbow, one pistol and a few rifles. There wasn’t a trophy for using each weapon so you didn’t really have to worry about switching too much, although there is a trophy for killing so many with the crossbow, pistol and muzzleloader rifle.
The hardest trophy by far, for me anyway, was finding at least 90 animal signs, that was a pain as I had to play through the entire game a third time to find those, which gave me the platinum.
This game I found much more realistic in the way the animals fell when you shot them, I actually got drawn into really trying to get the prize trophy in each group, the one animal in the herd worth much more than the rest and was actually disappointed if I got a bronze or silver.
As it turns out another PS3 trophy (or achievement on xbox360 ) is to collect all gold medals.
Some of the animals in this game were great, I really enjoyed hunting a buffalo and being able to creep within 20 yds for the challenge kill.
One aspect of the game which actually took me by surprise was when told to hunt a bear, a mountain lion or leopard, I really had no idea that they would attack you. I thought I would stalk a grizzly bear and shoot him from a distance but when I came across him at the waters edge there were no “vitals” showing, so I shoot this big grizzly and he looks up and gets really angry and starts chasing me, now i’m panicking as I had no idea what to do, then he jumps all over me and now i’m button mashing to sock him in the mouth with my rifle, four or five shots later and lots of paw prints on my face (presumably), he goes down, leaving me thinking “what the hell just happened? How cool was that?”
Well without going on too much if you liked Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures 2010 then you’ll probably really enjoy this one, it’s a lot of fun.
One other thing that was really fun was the mini-games you come across during the game, most were shooting ducks but there were also rabbits, foxes, and hares. It’s actually pretty funny shooting the rabbits and hares, rent it just for fun.
If you want to check out my review of gamefly just click here, I noticed blockbuster has started game rentals too but there are more expensive than gamefly and gamefly does have “keep” prices on many of their games which are quite often cheaper than the stores.
There was something I got wrong in my last review on Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures 2010 and I mentioned that this one Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2010 had over 50 trophies, there is actually 28 trophies in all, 27 plus the platinum.
I’ve just recieved Burnout Paradise in the mail, now I know this one is a couple of years old and I may just hate it, racing games don’t do much for me but occasionally one comes along that I don’t mind playing with the boys. The reason Burnout Paradise was put on the list was because I did a search for the PS3 game with the most ever trophies and this game was it apparently, they say 98 trophies, well i’ll find out now won’t I?
Even though it’s been out two years i’ll write a review on it and let you know if I manage to get the platinum trophy, or if I just give up and throw it in the garbage,lol
