Deer Hunter

For the low price of $20, Deer Hunter is a must buy for hunting fans. I don't hunt but I still found Deer Hunter to be a satisfying experience. It's an excellent hunting simulation and shows that you don't need big bucks to make a best seller (Clint, don't make us hunt you down... - Ed.). Other gamers should re-read my warning above that Deer Hunter isn't a Bambi bloodbath or killfest. As for Deer Hunter: Extended Season; if you didn't get enough of Deer Hunter, then go and get it. Otherwise, it doesn't offer much to gameplay and you can save the money for Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter...

I thought Deer Hunter was a moderately fun game, but not something that I plan to keep on my system for much longer. Since I've actually gone deer hunting, I appreciate the little touches that Deer Hunter adds to the game to make it realistic, but the whole idea of a hunting simulation escapes me. The good thing about Deer Hunter is the lack of blood and gore. You are mercifully spared the task of gutting and cleaning the deer, but likewise, you miss the wonderful flavor of a well-seasoned venison steak in onion gravy. Lip-smackin' good!

While Deer Hunter may be fun and charming the first few times you play the game, it doesn't go much beyond that.
