Gameplay

The player is a man named Jack, who is trying to become a member of a hunting club named the Order of Orion. Terrain is one thing the player needs to focus on. Falling off ledges or logs, or stepping on noisy terrain could cause failure in the hunt. Aggressive animals, such as bear, will attack the player, which also results in hunt failure. Game like African buffalo, impala, and kudu are more challenging than deer, elk, and bighorn.

Bear Family of mammals

Bears are carnivoran mammals of the family Ursidae. They are classified as caniforms, or doglike carnivorans. Although only eight species of bears are extant, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found on the continents of North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Common characteristics of modern bears include large bodies with stocky legs, long snouts, small rounded ears, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five nonretractile claws, and short tails.

African buffalo species of mammal

The African buffalo or Cape buffalo is a large Sub-Saharan African bovine. Syncerus caffer caffer, the Cape buffalo, is the typical subspecies, and the largest one, found in Southern and East Africa. S. c. nanus is the smallest subspecies, common in forest areas of Central and West Africa, while S. c. brachyceros is in West Africa and S. c. aequinoctialis is in the savannas of East Africa. The adult buffalo's horns are its characteristic feature; they have fused bases, forming a continuous bone shield across the top of the head referred to as a "boss". They are widely regarded as very dangerous animals, as according to some estimates they gore and kill over 200 people every year.

Impala A medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa

The impala is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. The sole member of the genus Aepyceros, it was first described to European audiences by German zoologist Hinrich Lichtenstein in 1812. Two subspecies are recognised—the common impala, and the larger and darker black-faced impala. The impala reaches 70–92 centimetres at the shoulder and weighs 40–76 kg (88–168 lb). It features a glossy, reddish brown coat. The male's slender, lyre-shaped horns are 45–92 centimetres long.

Story

The player starts out in Colorado, where he hunts whitetail deer, pronghorn, and mule deer. Then he tracks and hunts a mountain lion. After this, the player proceeds to Montana, where he hunts mule deer, Columbian black-tailed deer, bighorn sheep, elk, and fights an American black bear. The player then goes to New Zealand where he hunts red deer, wapiti, feral goat, fallow deer, and whitetail deer. Next, the player hunts in the Canadian backcountry, with tags for caribou, stone sheep, mule deer, and Columbian black-tailed deer. After passing the challenges in Canada, the player proceeds to Alaska with tags for Dall sheep, Sitka deer, caribou, and a grizzly bear. Next, the player goes to Finland, with tags for red deer, Finnish forest reindeer, and a Eurasian brown bear. Then the player proceeds to Siberia, where he hunts red deer, wapiti, snow sheep, and a Siberian brown bear. Once the player completes this, he goes to Argentina, with tags for chital, red deer, water buffalo, mouflon, fallow deer, blackbuck, and a cougar. Then, the player proceeds to the final level in Tanzania, where he hunts impala, Cape buffalo, greater kudu, and the final dangerous game animal: the African leopard. The small game animals and birds the player hunts include mallard duck (Colorado), mountain cottontail (Colorado), swift fox (Montana), pheasant (Montana), European hare (New Zealand, Argentina), paradise duck (New Zealand), Canada goose (Canada), snowshoe hare (Canada), ptarmigan (Alaska), red fox (Finland), capercaillies (Finland), mountain hare (Siberia), corsac fox (Siberia), speckled teal (Argentina), grey partridge (Argentina), African blue quail (Tanzania), jackal (Tanzania), and Egyptian goose (Tanzania).

Pronghorn species of mammal

The pronghorn is a species of artiodactyl mammal indigenous to interior western and central North America. Though not an antelope, it is often known colloquially in North America as the American antelope, prong buck, pronghorn antelope, prairie antelope, or simply antelope because it closely resembles the true antelopes of the Old World and fills a similar ecological niche due to parallel evolution.

Mule deer species of deer

The mule deer is a deer indigenous to western North America; it is named for its ears, which are large like those of the mule. The several subspecies include the black-tailed deer.
