Get ready for the ultimate hunting experience in Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2005 Adventures , a portable installment of Activision's long-standing hunting simulation series. Players start by customizing their character, selecting age, hair style, and hunting gear, as well as developing skills such as aiming, accuracy, strength, and stealth.
Two modes are available: "Quick Hunt" and "Career Hunt". In the latter, a goal-oriented story mode allows players to live vicariously through their grizzled uncle Pete, who dreams of entering the Hunter's Hall of Fame. To achieve this, players must slay one animal in each of the 65 hunting regions in the country.
Gameplay involves selecting a region to go hunting, wandering around looking for the correct animal in your bestiary, and then engaging in a thrilling shooting experience. In Alaska, for instance, the player may be tasked with gunning down a moose. The game also allows players to select the right guns and ammo, apply lures and seductive calls, and even display their trophies as taxidermied animal heads.
