Otaku Dome's Cabela's African Adventures Review:
Cabela is back and this time it’s in Africa, does this game continue Cabela’s past success? Read on in our review to find out.
Cabela’s African Adventures is a 2013 hunting/game simulator, it is avaible on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 PC, and Wii.
THE GOOD: Cabela’s African Adventures is fun when you can make it to a mission, or just decide on going sight seeing/exploring. The open world map really helps bring the feeling that you are indeed in the wilds of Africa, or some nearly deserted terrain full of nothing but dangerous animals as companions. The story involves the player character trying to clear out the wilds of said dangerous animals so a greedy man can locate three pieces of a lost treasure belonging to the locales. Along the way you find animals such as a wildebeast, elephant, lions, hyenas, and more. There’s also a shooting gallery mode for players feeling a bit ‘arcadey’. The addition of a skill tree also provided different styles of gameplay to use for players

Unfortunately, I’ve been subjected to quite a few over the last couple of years on the PS4, and so I thought I’d point out the worst of the worst; my top 10 worst games on PS4 in fact.
Hopefully you’ll heed my words and stay away from this ragtag bunch of putrid excuses for video games. I’ve played them so you don’t have to!"
Cabela’s African Adventures is a hunting game based in Africa that allows you to shoot majestic animals in their natural habitat. After looking at the trailer, it doesn’t really look like the game was going to do all that well to begin with. Considering the current public opinion of killing endangered animals, this game is likely to bomb pretty damn hard.
Neil writes "Depending on your point of view, you’ll either be positively looking forward to visiting the vast wilderness of Africa, or completely opposed to it."
I only really like the galleries in Cabela's games, mindless fun. I'm disappointed they dropped PS Move support.
Most likely, I almost forgot Cabela had their own controllers. I'm shocked they didn't attempt to bundle one with this game, unless they did for the Wii version and I missed.
