This game is a great fun and I love to play whenever I get the chance. However, it could get five stars if there would not be any video restrictions in the game. The video shooting makes this game relatively less interesting.

I was so excited to get this game. But when I started playing it, I found it all you're doing is basically filming the "season premiere" of the North American Adventures show. I mean literally filming, before some hunts you have to film the deer & get it perfectly in frame with the camera, then after the hunt they want you to film the animal getting shot, I'd rather have more hunting time then playing with a camera. There is a lot of unnecessary dialogue, which you can't skip either. You have to complete the "mission" that they tell you to do. You can't just choose to go on a hunting adventure, I was VERY disappointed about this. The only hunting options are building your career (filming the show), a big game timed tournament, or a hunter free for all timed mini game (they control where you go & how long you stay in one spot) or a shooting prairie dog mini game. Also the controls for walking around aren't the greatest. While walking to a checkpoint if you come across a rock or a branch on the ground you can't jump over it. So you'll be trying to get to your destination and basically hit an invisible wall until you figure out what blocking you and try to maneuver around it, and it gets to be annoying when you're on a timed hunt or trying to stay hidden from deer. Overall, I'm disappointed with the game.

The controls lag. The make-a-movie aspect is not explained well enough to know how to get a high score. Big trophy tournament doesn't reward you with anything once you get all trophies for an animal. The controls take some patience, but they do not hinder fun if you are a student of the game.

There are many modes, and all are fun. The weapons are accurate. The animal sounds are impressive. The topo radar is very cool. The landscapes are detailed and expansive. Weapon upgrades are numerous and noticeable.

Cabela's is not up to par with other first person shooters, but it offers a unique and fun experience for those gamers who like the outdoors and are ok with acknowledging that someone kills the animals we eat.

This controller quite frankly makes other wiimotes a waste of time. It is more ergonomically friendly than the Nintendo versions, it has better grip and feel and looks better too (ok ok I know that at least is a bit subjective). The main selling point is that it comes with full wii motion plus technology and ability built in. No need to buy the accessory as you would have to with other controllers including Nintendo's, therefore no need for the added weight or oversized cases which would be otherwise necessary.

So far I cannot complain about the performance of this controller either, it works as advertised................ quite well.

My recommendation is that those who have other controllers already, simply buy the wii motion plus accessory. Those in the market for a new or extra wiimote ........ buy this.

Problem with the IR sensor, January 20, 2011

This review is from: Wii Wand+ (Accessory)

I bought the NYKO Wand and immediately I was able to confirm that the cursor moves suddenly. I changed the Sensor Bar Sensibility in the Wii Menu to the left (minimum), and then I entered the Internet Channel for a few minutes (at least 5) to make a test. At some point the cursor became totally reliable. I returned the Sensor Bar Sensibility to default (in the middle) and made more tests in various shooting games (Goldeneye, Heavy Fire, Carnival King) the controller worked very good. I did not have any problems to make my shots go into my target. I hope this coment will be useful for "fix" the problem with the cursor.
