The game is pretty good, for a hunting game. You play the hunter who goes to Africa to get the deadliest trophy you can. The call them the Big Bad 5, or something, and it's you job as a rare collector to hunt them down and get the highest points you can.

The hunts include the baddest of the bad on the African savannah, including the aggressive elephant, the territorial water buffalo, the speedy cheetah, the nasty rhino, and the mighty lion. Complete mission to get the points, then when you're considered worthy- go and get one of the bigguns.

Stalking the animals and hunting them down is great, and works well. Follow footprints, dung, and other markings until you reach the animal you are looking for. Just like real hunting, there are always dangers nearby that could mean death- like a wild dog or a herd of angery elephants.

The only thing I don't get is that you are considered a poacher if you kill a buffalo or other animal outside the hunt for it. Even killing an attacking wild dog or a nearby giraffe for fun gets points taken away, and continuing gives you a game over. But isn't hunting your mission, especially for the Big Bad 5? So why am I getting in trouble for killing one when I will anyway? You are considered a poacher for simply killing non-endangered animals like birds or other common animals, but not for killing an endangered elephant? That's confusing.

The graphics are so-so, but the trees and hiding places work well for sneaking around and finding great sniping areas. The sounds are just like being there, except for the danger music that appears every time you are near a dangerous animal. It's repetitive and quite bad, and gets on your nerves after a couple minutes playing. The game is ok, but there are better hunting games out there, so it's stupid to wast money on this one.
