Heylo, everyone! Danny here again with another first taste
of a game! Which...I guess is still obvious, huh? I really need to figure out a
better way to introduce these. ^.^;
The game this time around is a hunting simulation game!
Which is yet another genre I've not played very much of... Oh, I never did
mention that did I? A lot of games that I've played in the past have just been
RPGs. I mean, there are other genre games like action and platformers and
stuff, but RPGs have always been my big love! Buuuut since this isn't one, I
should stop talking about that and get to the point!
Playing this game was a very odd experience for me. I really
had no idea what to expect out of a hunting game on the GBA! Though I did know
what to expect out of the GBA.
The music in the game is..um, kind of lacking. Not just that
it's bad, mind you. I mean, it is! Which is what I meant by what I expected out
of the GBA, by the way~ The song itself sounds like it should be nice, but the
GBA just kinda mangled the tune. But there's also a scarcity of music! I only
really found the title screen music, and the "Cabin" music
and...otherwise nothing. Which I guess makes sense for a hunting game, but when
there's not even ambient noises it's kinda weird.
Also kinda weird was how the game itself played out. You
choose a quick hunt, or to take part in career hunt stuff.. Either way it's a
quick hunt, one just has a goal and the other doesn't. and then from there you
pick your shotgun and rifle, and what kinda call/musk you want! Far as I can
tell, while perhaps the guns made a difference, the musk/call didn't seem to do
anything really.. And then you drive off to a hunting ground with a horrid
"truck engine noise" and..wander. Like, nothing seemed to really
indicate where I could go or where animals were! When I got kinda close to one
it popped up a tiny thing to indicate that, but it wouldn't tell me which
direction, or how close exactly, or anything like that! And then when I did
finally find something, I hit the button which brought up a cursor to move to a
certain distance, and then if I hit it again I go into the actual aiming menu
and try to shoot the animal. It was really just kinda clunky and unappealing.
:\
The overall aesthetic of the game was just kinda ugly and
meh. Even in the trophy room thing at the lodge you was just blurry and
unappealing. So ultimately I'd have to say this was another bitter experience!
I just really have no intention of ever returning to this
game. So until next time!
Sounds about like what I would expect from a Cabela game.. on the GBA.
