Summary
While controversy is supposedly a bad thing, it helps no end when it comes to video games. Games such as State of Emergency and Grand Theft Auto are among the most memorable. So in a day and age where video game violence is something of a trend, Zoo’s Big Game Hunter is really quite timid when you consider the fact that certain games allow players to engage with a common prostitute before beating them with a stick and taking their money back.
Yes, Big Game Hunter for PlayStation 2 is indeed a game that charges players with picking off unwitting deer and the likes with a steady sniper rifle. It may not be popular experience to fellow vegetarians, but ultimately, it’s just a game - that’s all.
And as a hunting game it does a fine job of immersing virtual hunters in a game that’s just as competitive as the Deer Hunter series of games. It’s very much a case of choosing your hunter, choosing your weapon, and taking to the fields for a good bout of hunting. But there are hazards, and should you encounter one of the game’s native beasts, you may find your self in a life-threatening situation.
Hunting games are generally a rare occurrence in video games, so when one comes along, it’s worth a good look. Big Game Hunter is not your typical Gran Turismo or Tekken, but if you put the effort into it, you’ll find it to be good fun.
