Cabelas Survival: Shadows of Katmai - Xbox 360

I bought this for my son for Christmas. He has enjoyed playing it and has commented on the excitement and game play. The game was in excellent condition from the seller.

Shadows of Katmai is a decent game.It offers great graphics and fast game play.Unfortunately,it is a third person shooter and you are unable to change the viewing angle,which sucks.I didn't realize that it was a third person shooter and would not have bought it had I known.One very important aspect of the game to note here is that it is quite impossible to play it without the Top Shot Elite gun as the cursor moves at lightning speed when you try to use the standard wireless Xbox 360 controller to play it.I spent only $20.00 on both game and gun,so I got a great deal.As others have noted,there is a LOT of climbing and jumping in this game.It gets repetitive and a little boring and the Kamikaze crows and bats that attack you don't add to the "fun" of this game one little bit.Every single animal attacks you,and frankly,since the game is set in winter ,the only animals that really belong in this game are the wolves and crows as bears hibernate in the winter and cougars(mountain lions) do not live in Alaska at all.Oh,well another Cabela's fantasy hunting game.Look at the last few entries in the Cabela's Dangerous Hunts series.Starting with Dangerous Hunts 2 there has been an unrealistic boss to be defeated at the end of every single one.Anybody want to hunt a Kraftar(a genetically mutated Hyena of enormous size,which is the final boss at the end of Dangerous Hunts 2011)?Yup-not only is the Kraftar unrealsalistic it's also very hard to kill.On a side note,Dangerous hunts 2013 was just released last Tuesday and it's a sure fire bet that there will be a final,unrealistic boss to defeat in that one,too.I plan on buying it,even though I know that it too will be unrealistic,but hey-at least it's a hunting game and most reviews on it a have been positive( on Facebook,and a couple of gamer websites,anyway).I liked the original Dangerous Hunts-it was as realistic as a hunting video game gets and offered many hours of fun,unlike Shadows of Katmai,which can be beaten in as little as 4 hours.Bottom line:Try this game if you want,but get it as cheap as you can,and only if you already have the Top Shot Elite or the brand new Top Shot Fearmaster that was released with Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013.A good price for the game and Top Shot Elite would be around $30.00 as you can use the Top Shot Elite(or newer Top Shot Fearmaster but that's more $$$)in most of the newer Cabela's hunting games.Great gaming to all!

There aren't many age appropriate shooting games out there for 10 year olds... but this is one of them! My son loves playing this game.

This game is terrible! Save your money! It had the potential to be a good game, but seems like it was rushed! The controls are slow, the shooting/aiming of the guns are aweful and when you get to the huge bear its nearly impossible to kill. There is a reason why it doesnt cost very much. Do not waste your money!

This game is a joke!Graphics are shameful for the Xbox360, limited options(no free will to go anywhere).Thankfully this POS only cost me ten dollars.It would be nice if they made an actual survival game, who knows maybe Bear Grylls could sponsor one:)

Unique survival hunting game,not one of a kind,best hunting game ever played

The format is very different it is really good. I am 11 yr old.

GOOD 100%
