Cabela's Alaskan Adventure - From a Gamer's Point of View


Looking for a very engaging hunting experience? Or are you into arcade-style of hunting games? Sorry, but you're in the wrong page. Cabela's Alaskan Adventures is another Cabela game that adds to a collection of trying-hard hunting games that's why you better think thrice not twice if you want to spend you moolah on something that you would be more than willing enough to throw in the end.

As the title indicates, Adventure mode is the primary main mode of Cabela's Alaskan Adventures. Once done customizing your character, you'll be taught on the nitty-gritty parts of playing the game. Afterwards, you'll be brought to the first of four outposts. Outposts act as the central hub for launching your hunts in the wilderness. From here you can also purchase your hunting equipments, such as decoys, guns, bows and other gears.

Each outpost leads to a couple of hunting grounds and boards for joining tournaments like fishing, duck hunting or dog sledding. The graphics are not worth mentioning since they are largely plain and the disagreeable low resolution textures provide ugly shining and aliasing effects. It doesn't get more frustrating as you start hunting. There's a stamina bar that prevents hunters from moving freely across the vast land.

Once you run out of stamina, you need to pause for a while to regain strength while hearing some heavy breathing on the background. The animals aren't worth hunting also because they're only separated into two AIs: running crazy in circles or attacking you. Progress from one post to another requires completing three main hunts and one fishing challenge.

Overall, Cabela's Alaskan Adventures falls short in both providing a simulation and arcade gaming experience. It's a wonder why these kinds of games don't follow the success of recent FPS and stealth games. It's a real pity.

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009 - Does it Measure Up to Gamers' Expectation?


Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009 is not your ordinary hunting game. As one can spot from the title, it's a hunting game with a twist of the hunter becoming the hunted too. In this game, you play a hunter expert named Flint Abrahams. You will engage in an adventure around the world while hunting some of the nature's most dangerous animals.

The environments in the game are visually appealing. However, they don't behave as they would in the physical world. Your path can sometimes be blocked with a small bush where you're not supposed to have any problem of walking through. The game offers you to Hand-to-Claw Combat where you attack animals using your hunting knife or rifle's butt.

Unfortunately, you have no total control of this mode because only the AI decides when you get to use this mode. Another drawback in this game is the killing-instinct or predator-like behavior of all animals, yes including unnatural scavengers like elephants. You can find yourself being attacked by an elephant when you get too close to them, even if you didn't pull the trigger yet, it really lives the "Dangerous" part of its title. In Career Mode, you will encounter missions that don't require you to kill animals, but you still need to hunt them by using tranquilizer guns.

Furthermore, there are missions that give extremely vague objective and force you to figure them out while playing. In summary, Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009 combines a hunting, FPS and adventure games in one. It's quite easy to play though. You don't need to plan a strategy in hunting down your prey and it only takes one or two good shots when you get to find them.
