TeamXbox: Deer Hunter Tournament Preview

TeamXbox writes: "Always wanted the experience of covering yourself in deer urine and sitting in a tree for eight hours wearing a ghillie suit, but didn't have the heart to shoot Bambi's mother? Me too! Thank goodness Atari is bringing Deer Hunter to the Xbox 360. Now I can cover myself in virtual scents (or real ones if I'm home playing by myself, that's my prerogative) stalk woodland creatures through the woods and kill them with a high powered rifle, all to my heart's and conscience's content.

The big thing that's new for Deer Hunter Tournament is, well, online tournaments. Never would have guessed that one would you? You can invite up to eleven of your friends (for twelve total, including you) to an online tournament, set up completely by you. You can pick all the conditions – time of day, weapons used, species to be hunted – then set up an online match. You can either play traditional style, where hunters go out alone and try and bag the biggest trophy, in which case a tournament can last a couple of days or even a week to give everyone time to compete, or you can play with your friends at the same time, with everyone in the field helping each other out."

GamerVision: Deer Hunter Tournament Review

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.

IGN: Deer Hunter Tournament Review

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.
