Cabela's African Safari - Xbox 360

Cabela's African Safari is a very boring game. It is more realistic them Big Game Hunter and graphically superior, however it just plain stinks. You have a certain number of days in each place, each day you get to pick a different hunt (some days are predetermined) but each hunt is timed. There are dangerous animals that you can't kill because you don't have permission but they can certainly kill you. There is a nice addition of a radar with direction so you don't have to continuously open your map to see where you're facing. Achievements do have a lot more variety and some include playing on higher difficulties, which is nice. But all in all I don't like walking around for 30 minutes trying to find a Dik-dik and not even finding a fresh track. On the Easy setting this is not hard at all because the game you're hunting shows up as a green dot on your radar. All in all, I would not recommend this hunting game when Big Game hunter is a bit more fun. Both are very short though.

Over all I had fun with this game, I just wish it where a bit longer. I beat it in 4 hours. I like the ol fashion games where you get to walk around and hunt for game the real way. I hated the timer, I don't know whos bright idea it was to put it in but I think its dumb.. I miss where as you got higher you earned money to buy better guns and unlock stuff.. here they give you pretty much everything you need. But I had fun with it and my son likes to play it.. Its good for kids cuz its not very long hunts. hope this helps.
