ZeroTolerance writes: Hunting games have always been an interesting genre of gaming. Rarely do they appeal to anyone outside of the fans of the actual sport, and most often they feel like cheap spin-offs of first-person shooters. The latest Big Game Hunter breaks the traditional mold by creating an arcade like atmosphere and completely avoiding a narrative almost altogether. This will likely deter some of the original fans from the game, but it also makes it much more streamlined for the attention deficit crowd. Personally I found myself more intrigued by the faster pace, but that doesn't mean the game comes without some issues.
Does your Dad like to look at girly pictures? Maybe he likes to shoot defenseless animals with a big ole gun? Perhaps he named you after a stadium, a favorite athlete, or even a racetrack? We at GoozerNation have found the perfect gaming gifts to make all these Dads and more happy campers on Father's Day. Let the games begin!
The thin gameplay certainly won't interest someone looking for a virtual hunting experience with an edge of authenticity, and isn't enough to entertain anyone looking for an arcade-style game with a solid hook. That being said, the game's shooting gallery mode can be fun in a Duck Hunt sort of way. It is cheaper than most retail games, however, and features some decent but flawed visuals and sound. The rest is forgettable.
