Cabela's Alaskan
Adventure
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.

say about this game...
Unlike Cabela's African Safari this game is much more realistic. I
would not recommend this game if you don't have the patience to hide
and stalk your prey.

Having played Cabelas Dangerous Hunts for PS2, I looked forward to
playing this game. However, I was immediately disappointed with the
navigation of the menus and how complicated |
|
I expected a great deal more with this game, but instead felt like it
was a big step backwards. This time you are able to navigate via
vehicles throughtout different regions in Alaska (trucks, snowmobiles
etc), but the control is quite frustrating. |

Granted, some of this game was pretty challenging but I think that is a
good thing. Many other Cabela's games were short and easy. |
