Diehard GameFAN: Hands-On Preview: Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2011

DHGF: "The game itself has the standard on-rails shooting mode, but also comes with a story/survival mode. Yes, they put a story into a hunting game from the same person that wrote Resistance, and not only that, there’s a heavy emphasis on predators, and them attacking you. The PR rep with Activision stated that this is the first case of a game becoming a survival/horror/hunting game, and I believe him. I wasn’t able to get much of what was going on, but I was able to play two parts. The first is the prologue, where you see your father, back in 1982, being attacked by a bear that took out your grandfather as well. It’s now 2001, and you, the city-slicker that you are, go into the mountains with your father (sans eye, from the bear attack) and brother, to prove that you’re worthy of inheriting the lands of your father and forefathers. The voice acting and storytelling are so-bad-it’s-good laughable, and your father comes across as a mix between Kenny Rogers and Charles Bronson."
