Let me get this out of the way quickly- Crazy Hunter is the worst DSiWare game I have ever played and one of the worst games I’ve ever played, period. Let me tell you why this is the last game you should spend your hard-earned cash on.
NWR: I'm not going to start this review with a pithy one-liner, something like, "This chicken isn't dropping golden eggs." I'm certainly not going to employ game-themed hyperbole, so don't expect me to say, "I would rather walk into a gator's mouth than play this anymore." Instead, I'm just going to distill the game down to a single phrase: there is absolutely zero reason for anyone who has ever or will ever live to play Crazy Hunter.
NintendoDude Wrote: Crazy Hunter is a game that suffers from a concept that is crazier than the actual game itself. There is nothing technically wrong with the game, so I can’t knock it for any faults, and for its budget price on the eShop, you will get a decent amount of fun. The controls work well for the most part. This game is moderately fun in small bursts. It took me several dozen attempts to simply finish the game, but when I did, I found myself not wanting to dive back in and challenge my high score. The concept feels like it would be much more comfortable at an actual arcade or carnival than converted into a handheld video game. However, if you are looking for a deeper gameplay experience or more action than just a few levels, you may be better off trying out a few of DSiWare’s other offerings.
Pocket Gamer: I wouldn't for a moment suggest that all games need to have stories as well-written and comprehensive as Lord of the Rings. But they should at least be coherent.
Crazy Hunter doesn't come close to attempting this. Although its faults run deeper than a nonsensical setup, its bizarre narrative is symptomatic of a general lack of care.
