The Re-Load Dance
I bought this game as a Birthday gift for my husband. It came with the Wii Sharp Shooter.
-Inserting the actual Wii-mote and nunchuck into the Sharp Shooter was terrible. Too many steps especially if you use the Wii motion plus.
-The play value lasted only enough until you finished the hunting season which only consisted of three maps and a practice map (4 in all).
-The animatation is awkward when walking, running, and turning.
-The animals pretty much stayed in the same places. They might run around a little, but then stop. If you miss when they are stopped they run around a little again and stop. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
-We nick-named re-loading the gun into the "re-loading" dance. It was totally ridiculous. I am shocked we didn't break anything in the process of re-loading.
***I will say however, that the areas looked realistic.
This game is like skunk road kill. Shockingly stinky.
I have NEVER played a worse game. This isn't a game it's a nightmare. The sticker price at some retailers is . You CANNOT enjoy this game. The hate I felt for this game was immense. I have never even tried to return a game before this because of the clear policies regarding returning software. However I felt it was unethical to allow MY MONEY to go towards this... thing.
Now the review: The gun that can be sold with this is worthless. The sight hole is as large as my TV is. The gun was of very poor construction with a loose barrel at the end. Inserting the wii-mote was a chore that took about 40 minutes to get the little cable to feed down correctly so the nunchuck was being pressed correctly by the side buttons.
The gameplay is confusing. There is a map, but no way to walk around the path that is displayed. The "animals" are animated, but just run in the same circle over and over and you know exactly what they do every time. When you are on the animal the sights turn red... even through large boulders!
The targeting is horrific and the reloads are worse. The amount of force require to reload makes the wii-mote actually rise up out of the poorly constructed gun making the trigger not work until you reseat it. The birds hover at a good 3 MPH and are the size of the big horn sheep.
If you need to get your money back from this horrid game I recommend you tell them that the game is defective and get a replacement. Then just return the replacement (unopened) for a full refund. Do not allow anyone to get money for this pile.
Needs Some work on Gun Mechanics
I bought this game because my four sons and I enjoy hunting. The areas are realistic, but something is wrong with the gun mechanics. Reloading doesn't work quickly all the time. Typically if there is something on the screen that you can shoot at it won't let you reload. The shots don't track the targets either, so you don't want to lead your target. Also, you can be dead on a target and you'll miss, or just slightly off and you'll get a "Clean Kill" It is too frustrating for my younger sons to play and my older sons and I find the rifle mechanics anoying.
Father of Four
A realistic hunting game with terrible shot detection.
