Best Deer Hunting Game Yet!

What can I say, Deer Hunter 2005 literally blew me away with its fantastic graphics, lifelike AI, and numerous game options. When I first saw the game I assumed it would be terrible based on the last few Deer Hunter games, but then I played the demo and wow what an amazing improvement.

The graphics are simply gorgeous and with a high end video card they really shine. Small weeds and leaves that bend as you move through them among other nice visual touches helps the immersion factor. I have visited many of the places available to hunt in the game and the development team created the levels spot on for the types of foliage and terrain found there.

Another great aspect of the game is the hunter's skill points that get awarded by killing certain amounts of game or by using certain types of weapons. If you increase your tracking skill points for instance, blood trails and tracks appear more frequently which allows you to find that pesky buck you just shot with a longbow.

Yet another great game feature is the inclusion of rare deer to the game, which is a satisfying experience when you become lucky enough to spot and bag one.

Overall Deer Hunter 2005, once the 1.2 patch is applied, is top notch and I really can't foresee myself ever getting bored with this game, unless of course the folks at Atari release Deer Hunter 2006 with similar features and enhancements.

This is a good one!

This is not the best game ever but I have sat in front of the computer for at least 6 or 7 hours playing the demo over the last month and I'm still having fun. What a lot of people don;t realize is that this game has great AI and it's like real hunting- there aren't hundreds of animals wandering all over- you have to act like a real hunter to be successful. If you want a game where you run around shooting things every 2 minutes don't get it...but just like real hunting it's a rush when you finally find a nice deer after working hard. Decent graphics and sound, AWESOME "bullet cam" feature!!!

Much better than I expected!

It is 2007 and I am playing Deer Hunter 2005. I have played the original Deer Hunter and a few of the versions after. I picked this one up at a retail store on a whim since I had not played any version after probably version 4 or 5. I must say, I was truly not expecting this game to be as polished and fun as I found it to be. I have all of the graphic detail maxed out and it looks fantastic. The deer and the environments look great and the movements of each of the animals very realistically imitate how you would expect them to move like. It is definitely a challenge to hunt deer in this game, but the payoff is very rewarding. I also love the addition of the Wildlife mode where you can view any of the animals in their environment and just watch how they behave. This game is definitely worth the budget price tag and even 2 years later is a real joy to pick up if you like this type of game.

The Best!!!

I have most of the Deer Hunter series and 2005 is less than 2004. 04 had better graphics, better and more lifelike animals and you were able to access skills points easily, but not 2005. Save your money and buy Hunting Unlimited 2 instead.

Better yet

Hey, Robert, instead of HU2, which is a bore, try Trophy Hunter or the Hunting Unlimited 3. The first Hunting Unlimited is great fun, and some work, but HU3 is very interactive. I spend hours on these games and will always come back to HU3 and the Trophy Hunter 2003.

Good hunting fun

Overall Deer Hunter is a pretty good game. The graphics are slightly lacking, but not enough to take away from the fun.

Funny Game

nice game, lots of guns or bows to use, different places to hunt. only drawback that i see is no way to back up progress to move to another computer to save game progress. fun to play for hours and not too easy so it makes it a challange as well.
