Cabela's Big Game Hunter Hunting Party with Gun - Xbox 360

Okay, first of all let's talk about shipping: arrived a day before it was supposed to. So, that is obviously a plus.Now, to the actual product: this was meant to be a christmas gift for my mom- someone who used to go hunting but hasn't gone since her brother passed away. I read a couple dozen reviews, good and bad, before I made the decision to purchase. She's had many wii games with wii guns, and well.. just like the wii in general, they were always disappointing. When we got the kinect I was very impressed in comparison to a wii remote, so I wanted to search for a gun. I was bummed when I found one that had so many bad reviews, but decided to give it a shot anyway due to multiple solutions to all the problems in the reviews. Yes, calibration is a pain in the ass. However, covering the little blue light works wonders. I used aluminum foil to cover it personally. The aim was pretty accurate as well, not off 10in. like a review I seen had said. In short, I couldn't wait til christmas, and gave it to her an hour ago and she is in love with it. She tried the calibration without the blue light being covered, and got as frustrated as I did day one, and she passed with flying colors the first try as soon as it was covered. She did have to re-do it once more, but she was just dillydallying and it timed-out (it wanted her to shoot "continue" or something, and she just wanted to keep shooting around the screen.)

Lots of fun for the whole family. The calibration does take some work each time but once set up it is a lot of fun.

Bought this game for my other half for Valentines day. It arrived on Valentines day, well before the expected arrival. I felt this was very thoughtful of this vendor. When he opened it, his eyes lit up like a child on Christmas and he couldn't wait to put the gun together, wow, a full sized gun. By the time he finished putting the gun together, some of his friends happened by, he had it all put together and the game up on the screen. I havn't seen so much excitement from these guys in a long time. They played well into the night and it seems since then that Friday nights are now Big Game hunter night. These guys aren't kids but range from 32 to 48 years old, but on Friday nights, you could swear they are. The game came brand new in the box and still works perfectly. I won't lie, I find myself telling them to watch out for the bear. I find this an exciting game for all ages, my 7 year old grandson came over and played it one day, now he wants one too (So does his Dad).

Major waste of money, I can't believe Cabela's associates their name with this product. I bought this thinking it would be fun for the kids at a birthday party, it took 20 minutes to figure out how to calibrate it and after it was calibrated it still didn't work correctly, needless to say it wasn't fun for the kids and certainly wouldn't be fun for adults. The concept is great but it seems like they spent about 20 dollars designing this game, I wouldn't have been happy if it were free. Just more junk I have to throw away. It deserves zero stars, don't waste your money on this game. I thought for sure it had to be worth 20 dollars considering Cabela's name was in the title but I was wrong.

But if I were maybe this game would be more enjoyable. The sensor only worked half the time. Don’t get this.

game very corky!!! hardest time getting it calibrated, I ended having to cover the blue buld in order for it to calabrate; and it needs to be total darkness; we only play the game in the evening or at night. Once calibrated game is fun

My 10 year old son REALLY wants me to buy him all of the violent, hard-core, shooting games. He has that young boy fascination with guns. This is a great game for him....he likes the gun and the shooting aspect of the game...but he's not pretending to shoot other people or being overwhelmed with blood and gore. Gun takes a bit to set up the first time you use it as it needs to calibrate and line itself up, but it's easier after that. Adults ended up getting into the game as much as the kids did.

My kids LOVE this game...and quite honestly...SO DO I! We spend a lot of time playing it on rainy days and snow days! Its a good way to get away from the normal games that only requite thumbs! We actually get up off the couch and move!

the gun does not work properly. needs to be calibrated every use and does make contact right away. needs a lot of tries to be able to use the game. very frustrating.

Le jeux fonctionne mais pas la carabine rien a faire
