Story
In Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010, players step into the camouflaged shoes of Jack Wilde. A young, confident and skilled hunter and outdoorsman, his potential has been recognized by the mysterious "Orion Order," an ultra-exclusive hunting club with international connections. Even though Jack is still green, the powers that be at Orion are willing to give him a shot at joining, but first he must prove himself worthy. Jack jumps at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His test is made up of a series of membership trials against big game and small, in various environments and conditions and utilizing a variety of weapons, skills and techniques.

Gameplay
Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010 is played from a first-person perspective featuring a combination of mission play and mini-games that make up the already mentioned hunting trials. Players are guided through structured mission play by their in-game sponsor who contacts them, points them in the right direction and offers tips and warnings in the field as the hunt makes its way across the globe. In each hunt players are graded on a variety of skills ranging from safe navigation across dangerous wilderness terrain, animal tracking, and their abilities at stalking from cover and making clean, efficient kills. Players track game and find their way around the environment using "Hunter's Sense," a type of bullet time in which evidence of animals, varied available cover options to shoot from, specific animal locations and their level of alertness can be seen in a temporarily, slowed down view with on-screen color-coated indicators revealing each. More rapid player movement, including sprint functionality, is available in regular view. Once an animal is sighted in the players weapon scope varying possible point totals are visible on the animal according to where it might be hit with a projectile. These include strikes to the heart, spine, lung and head. During hunts players can quickly and easily change weapons at the push of a button as the trophy animal persuaded requires. In-game weapons range from a variety of rifles, pistols, bows and more which can be unlocked as the game progresses. The ability to correctly use all graded skills gains the player points and medals for each animal players are tasked to bag.

In addition to the mission play of big game membership trials, Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010 also features arcade style, timed mini-game hunts. These are spread throughout the game and feature a mix of birds and small game. Success in these serves the dual purpose of providing the opportunity of challenging marksmanship practice, without penalization in the main campaign and the chance to build experience points in your overall progression.

4-person Multiplayer Mini-games
In addition to the campaign mini-game action described above, Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010 for Wii comes packed with 13 arcade style shooting galleries.

Great game!

Reviewer: Larry45,
I'm 65 years old, and I love this game. I've stomped the hills for deer and elk a lot in my lifetime, and though I don't get out much anymore, this game is a great substitute. You can play it without being a hunter, but you won't score well. You can kill the animals without much hunting skill, but to get silver and gold medals, you have to be patient and hunt just like you do in the wild, with stalking skills and knowing when to take the shot. I like the fact that if you're unhappy with your score on a hunt, you can replay the hunt as many times you want to improve your score. The Top Shot gun works very well with the Wii remote and nunchuck; the Z button on the nunchuck serves as the trigger and is very realistic. I highly recommend this game if you're a hunter.
THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!

Got this for our 9 year old grandson to play when he comes to our house. I'm not a big fan of hunting but I found myself enjoying this. Every one who tried this aggrees. Has a lot of levels you must earn before going farther. A really great game.

I ordered this game for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it!! Its a little difficult to get used to the motions as the gun/wii controller has to point in whichever direction you want to look in. Other than that it is very accurate and he plays it all the time.
P.S. I was a little worried when i first received it in the mail as it was a pretty small box, but not to worry, the gun comes in two pieces!!!
Addicting fun!!!!

I bought this bundle for my 6 year son for Christmas.....not quite sure if it was going to be an appropriate choice for him. Well, he loves it and now........I find myself playing it when he goes to bed. I was bound and determined to get that mountain lion and the bears!!! I did and now it's kept me wanting more!!! Lots of fun with nice little surprises here and there that add to the excitement and difficulty of the game. My son has now gotten the hang of it and has moved from the gallery shoots to actually tracking and hunting the animals (All but the mountain lion and bears anyway!). All in all, I am very happy with the purchase. It turned out to be an excellent choice for my son and this mom has found it to be a blast too!!!
Big Game Hunter 2010 is awesome

I got Cabelas Big game hunter 2010 and I love it. It took a little while to get used to the controls but after you do the game is really fun. if you liked the old school duck hunter then you will really like this game.
Violence IS apparently the answer at my house:) LOL...

Reviewer: Connie Sansom, Texas
Hunting is not my thing. My daughter and husband , on the other hand, hunt regularly and they really enjoyed this game. It came with everything necessary to put the game in and begin play. My husband was laughing and playing like he was a little kid--it was cute. My daughter thought it was very challenging and had some minor frustration with it, but that is a good thing because it means it wont be "old news" any time soon.
Definitely entertaining!!!!

I bought this game for my husband (31 yrs old!) and he's enjoyed it...says it's harder than it appears and he's enjoyed the different hunts. There are many different scenes and animals and points are obtained dependent on distance and # of kills. It's definitely serving it's intended entertainment purpose.
