Cabela's African Adventures - Wii

This brought back memories of Makumi National Park in Tanzania, Africa--except no hunting is allowed there. Learn to drive your jeep across rugged, beautiful terrain and complete what each circle wants you to do--this opens up new territory and more different types of animals to hunt. Go head to horn with mean, unpredictable water buffalo, make your way through dark caverns and take down an infamous leopard, manuever past antelope and elephant to shoot your target animal, ward off an attacking aggressive herd of elephants. Collect fossils and artifacts for gun and survival upgrades. Learn stalking, dodging, and shooting under duress, but sometimes you'll just have to run for your life! I have to put a time limit on this one, or I'll spend the entire day playing it. Those without a manual- Jeep--z brake, hold down Z for reverse, toggle switch is steering, B accelerate, stay on the roads, if stuck, press -. Map--must be a few yards away from jeep. Press 1. Move cursor hand to where you want to go and press A. To exit map press B. It will immediately transport you back to your jeep, or a little white arrow will appear giving general direction to area you marked. Successfully complete everything on the map and a green check mark will appear. Drive to new area referencing the map. Man--trot toggle switch,run for your life toggle C, crouch/duck your head bottom of +, dodge toggle A, zoom in hold Z button, climbing rocks A (when given the option to climb). Sparkles--go to all the sparkles press A for upgrades. Some are real hard to get to. Arrow and yellow numbers--go there, decreasing numbers means you are getting closer. Use tall grass/trees to sneak by animals. Patience. When prompted to jump jeep across rock bridge, back up for more distance, then give it the gas! Follow all voice commands. Practice dodging, turning, running and shooting under duress. )> this symbol in red indicates immediate danger from charging animal, white means animals are aware of you, yellow means they are fleeing. Load out-Each time you exit your jeep or start a special hunt you get to choose your load out by pressing 1. You'll get more rifles as you succeed in hunts. By the time you start hunting elephants, you'll be able to click on the rifle and choose from a list. My favorite is the .458 because you can shoot several times before reloading (by pressing the - button when prompted by the screen). I like to use the .700 for rhinos and elephants because it really packs a punch, however, you have to reload after every shot. You'll get 6 heal packs each hunt. Hold down the + button for a few seconds when prompted on the screen to heal yourself after being bitten or mauled. Return to your jeep if you run out of ammo and you will automatically receive a new supply of bullets. When you click on "abilities" in your load out, you'll see a list of abilities with circles and squares in front of them. Above them are two circles and a square to select three abilities from the list to start your hunt with. Click on the first circle, then click on a circle ability in the list. Then click the first circle again and your selection symbol will appear in it. Do the same for the second circle. Then click the square and choose a square ability and click on the first square again--the symbol of that selection will appear. My favorites are the "see vitals" because the animals go into slow motion on a direct hit and the "lock on" because if you aim at an animal and press the z button, it will lock onto that animal in the crosshairs so you can pump lead into the beast until he drops or you have to tumble out of the way to avoid attack. I choose all the stealth abilities when the hunt involves sneaking past animals. There is an elephant and a lion hunt where there is a "caller" standing on the rocks in a distance calling more animals to come and attack you. While you are fighting off your attackers, you need to shoot and kill that caller so that he will stop calling more and more animals to come and attack you. Watch your back, and good hunting all.

Good game, good graphics

I'm playing this right now with a friend on my wii u. Fun game. Takes a bit too learn how to walk in game using the gun to aim where to walk. Graphics rant great but not bad but didn't expect much from a Wii game. The top shot elite gun I got in another cabelas games works perfect in this version. Only con for the game is that the animals don't remain on-screen after killing them nor do you collect therm or skin them or anything, is just shooting and getting kills for the objective and driving around finding stuff like upgrads. Still fun shooting game for when I'm bored.

Order came in on time and was intact. Contains the game only. You will need a Wii remote and nunchuck and a Wii gun already to play this game. The Wii remote and nunchuck is hooked up to the gun to play the game. Was a birthday gift for my nephew and he enjoys it and so does my brother. My brother says the graphics are not better than PlayStation or Xbox, but the game is very interactive. Will take you a little bit of time to get the aiming and shooting down.

Game was sold as new. Disc is in great condition but no instructions. Something is not adding up.

This game is so easy. Definitely a kids game.

Works great

My son is 15 and got this for Christmas! He really likes it, but wishes it came with a few more instructions on how to drive the jeep better! But overall a great Wii game!
