The folks at Atari bill the Deer Hunter series as the biggest videogame hunting franchise of all time, and IGN is inclined to believe them, mainly because they seem to know a lot about shotguns and IGN doesn't want to anger them.
So far, current-generation consoles have been lacking an entry in the long-running animal killing series, but that's about to change. This fall gamers will see the release of Deer Hunter Tournament on both Xbox 360 and PC, and the title promises to pull the series into the online age like a hunter dragging a field-dressed deer carcass back to the truck.
The Top 10 Hunting Games - Images & HD Videos. Some are free hunting games online, some are for the pc, and some are for console games such as the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
If you are an avid hunter or a gamer looking for a realistic hunting experience then the below list is just what you are looking for.
When you're finally able to find an animal to shoot, the kills are rewarding thanks to realistic body physics, but those moments are so few and far between that it's hard to justify the effort spent searching for them. Even if the multiplayer is tempting, odds are the overall lack of polish will be too off-putting for most gamers.
Even for $20, there is such an abundance of annoying sound, graphical, and gameplay glitches that hunting fans would be better served picking up an older game in the series or buying a better shooter and pretending their enemies are prey. Sure, the humans in Far Cry 2 might not be deer, but the environments are much more realistic, and there's no game like the most dangerous game.
If it wasn't clear from the title, this game isn't for everybody. With that said you can tell developer Southlogic Studios loves the sport. The single player gives you a good sense of the desolate wild and at times you will feel like you're really out in the wilderness. However, this game requires a lot of patience. You can play for an hour and not find an animal worth killing; the game will probably bore non-hunting fans. To be frank, IGN would like to give this game a higher score, but the number of bugs and tweaks that need to be fixed really does hamper the package as a whole. With that said, this game isn't a bad value for the hardcore hunter at $20.
