e Hunter Pro Hunts is an arcade hunting simulator available for download on the PC.

Cabela's probably the best-known name in hunting games, and Big Game Hunter Pro Hunts is honestly one of its best releases. With a huge world map, a great career mode and a truly ridiculous number of potential hunts, this game will keep you glued to the screen for hours. Everything sounds great, and the number of animals you can hunt is really impressive. It's hunting for those who just don't want to go outside and get dirty.

On the other hand, there's nothing close to realism in this game. There's no real sense of ecosystem, the waiting game of hunting basically doesn't exist, and everything's just a little too clean and glamorous. This game obviously has roots in the arcade, and it's a lot easier to notice all of the flaws when you don't have a fake rifle peripheral on your shoulder. This doesn't make the game bad by any means, but it does take away something from the experience.

While this isn't the most realistic hunting game in the world, it's still one of the best on the market. Sure, you're not going to get the experience of sitting in a tree stand for hours, but you will get to play out some of your hunting fantasies. If you can get past the graphics and the lack of realism, you'll be left with a good experience that will allow you to kill a few hours.
