I'm a hunter myself and most of the time love hunting games. I usually stay on top of these with the release dates but this one passed by me. Im almost a month late getting this after its out. I bought it a couple days ago and have been playing it and I have to say I wish I would have left it at the store. This one will be a play and trade ASAP. I was not a fan of the Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011 from last year. It was not realistic at all, and pretty annoying actually. You couldn't walk 5 feet without something jumping out on top of you, attacking you, forcing you to do a quick heart shot to kill the animal. They have pulled that element over into Big Game Hunter 2012. I guess they had a lot of success with that game so they are trying to put it in with this one and hope for the best.

I've been a firm believer that if you can't make a game challenging without making the gamer do stuff under a time limit, then you shouldn't make the game to begin with. I have had to do that quite a bit in this game. On the first or second hunt, you have 30 seconds or so to shoot 3 running Pronghorn. That is a lot like the Cabela's Trophy Bucks game. That is not hunting. There are enough shooter games out there to where Cabela's shouldn't have to put elements like that in a "hunting" game. There is a new element to this game called the "perfect shot opportunity" Where an animal runs out of the woods in slow motion and you have to shoot it running.

I'm not finished with the game, and I'm sure I'm not even halfway through with it yet, but so far I have hunted more birds, rabbits and foxes than big game.

The one good thing I can say (hopefully.....I'm looking forward to it) is getting the compound bow to hunt with. If Cabela's wants to make a GOOD hunting game. They should take something simple and great like Big Game Hunter 10 and build on it. For example when using a compound bow, Make the user move the joystick to the left like the hunter is actually drawing the bow back. Make a HUNTING game REALISTIC and stay away from this nonsense spray and pray.

Just my opinion, I would say leave this game alone and get Big Game Hunter 2010, Its 10 times better.

I purchased this game from Gamestop 2 days ago, and completed the story with all gold and silver medals in less than 3 or 4 hours. Story mode is wayyy too short. Cabelas Big Game Hunter 2005 had a much longer story than this. Also, this game is quite easy, and almost feels like a non-challenging simulation. I got a medal every time, and rarely had to restart the levels. I only did at the beginning because I wasn't used to the layout. Although, that makes for easy Xbox Live scores (so that's a plus). The long range hunts and multiple target hunts are quite fun, and the animals that jump out and attack you are easy to kill. No challenge there. I was kinda worried about that at first, but it's nothing too major. The graphics and physics are alright. Big Game Hunter 2010 has wayyy better graphics and physics than 2012. It's not worth the asking price, but if you can find it for like $10 or so, it would definitely be worth it. Easy G's on Xbox Live :)
