In Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012, players will explore a large amount of diverse terrain with unprecedented freedom of direction. For example, players can climb an area to get a better angle for a shot but risk being spotted, or they can take a low elevation route with poor visibility but plenty of concealment. The challenge doesn’t end there, as the game ups the ante with the most realistic animals ever seen in the Cabela’s series as every animal’s unique movement gives clues on what it will do next. In order to bag the biggest trophies, players must avoid detection and master advanced shooting techniques such as accounting for wind direction and bullet drop.

Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 will be available on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™ system from Nintendo, on September 27, 2011. The game will be bundled with the innovative Top Shot Elite wireless controller on Xbox 360 and PS3 and a peripheral on Wii which can also be purchased separately.
