Cabela's Dangerous Hunts is a 2003 video game published by Activision in conjunction with Cabela's for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Microsoft Windows video game platforms.

Gameplay[]

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts is a first-person shooter where the player goes on hunting trips. The game features several game modes, such as Career Mode which allows the player to create a profile and then customize their stats, age, and appearance. During hunts, there are penalties for killing non-game animals. If the player shoots three non-game animals, this will result in failure. Terrain is another thing the player must consider. Falling into deep streams can result in drowning and falling off high ledges can result in injury or death, as well as failing the hunt. Aggressive animals such as bears, , wolves, coyotes, hyenas, mountain lions, and leopards will attack the player, which can result in injury and death. The player also has an energy limit; eventually, the player will become tired and need to slow down. This effect can be reduced by carrying lighter equipment and conserving energy.

There are twelve exotic locations which feature twenty-six animals. Games like white rhinoceros, zebras, and hyenas are more challenging than deer, elk, and wolves. There are a variety of options for weaponry: eleven types of rifles, three types of handguns, two types of bows, one type of crossbow, and three hunting knives. Items like scent removers and different animal calls will help attract the animals, while ground blinds and tree stands will help camouflage the player.

The game also features Action Zone, where there are different stages for hunting. Once in these zones, the player will have to kill several animals to pass the level. Once all the predators are taken down, a portal will appear to take the player to the next location.

Locations in the game include Wisconsin, Alaska, Quebec, California, Idaho, New Mexico, Alberta, and Tanzania. Each location has different animals that the player can hunt. The player is also able to change the season and the area of the hunt. In Career Hunt Mode, the player can choose between a couple of different characters with each having their own perks.

Reception[]

The PC and PlayStation 2 versions received "mixed or average reviews", while the Xbox version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.^[12][13][14] The game was said to have "passable" gameplay and a very neat feel to it. It is featured in the PlayStation 2's Greatest Hits series.
