I hate to be blunt about it, but hunting games are pretty much all the same. They look the same, they play the same, they appeal to the same (audience that is; that is, white people with pinkish necks), they play the same, they offend the same...wait, and PETA is upset about Mario and not this? Oh, it was just a joke?
Funny, so is this. Hashtag heart shot? It’s Cabala’s Big Game Hunter: Hunting Party. The funny thing about this game is that it’s kind of at the mercy of its own name. The whole “party” thing makes it seem like you have to play minicamps and roll dice to walk through the forest, but this game is as much of a party as inviting over five good friends and one friend of one of those friends, but that guy is the only one who shows up. It’s awkward, it’s quiet and you just wish he would go home.
Of course, if that friend of a friend happens to be a girl, that changes the scenario entirely. And although Cabala’s Big Game Hunter: Hunting Party is far from the video game equivalent of a cute chick your friend used to date—the “used to” makes it fine, Undertoads—thisgame does have a few redeeming qualities of its own that make what was otherwise incorrectly labeled a party a bit more...stimulating.
The first thing? I’m in the **** title screen. The second? It comes with this. But unfortunately, everything else falls apart. By falls apart, I mean this thing just turns into another Cabala’s shooter...which isn’t to say that makes it a bad game. It’s exactly what you’d expect if you’ve played previous Cabala’s games, but that’s the thing. I’ve played a ton of these here at the underwater base, and I can’t remember which was which.
They all just blend together, and despite the subtitle, so does this one. Actually, I might remember this one. That gun is imposing. Speaking of which, you start the game by calibrating that beast, and as should be a weapon that looks like that, it’s **** complicated. Once you finally get through the setup, you get the usual offering of Cabala’s game play modes—there’s a campaign, there’s surprisingly sparse multiplayer given the title and there are galleries.
As with most of these arcade-style shooters, the arcade-style galleries are where Hunting Party is at its best. Animals run across the screen, the camera moves on its own and you fire at will to meet your indiscriminate quota of death. But where this game ultimately falls short is the use of Kindest. The game throws in plenty of motion control, like sidestep a stampede and crouch through the grass.
This stuff works about as well as most Kindest games, which is to say it works on occasion and only if your living room meets a checklist of requirements about a page long. Funny, these games played a lot better in arcades. Like, 15 **** years ago. Now, this is a kindest game, but only in the most superficial sense. You’re using some ridiculous peripheral that, for all its alien technology, is basically like a PlayStation Move controller, and the actual motion controls are frustrating and pointless. But even with its deceptive title and ample flaws, Hunting Party is another average arcade shooter. There are better Cabala’s games, but again, I’m on the title screen.
