3D Hunting: Trophy Game is the next installment of the 3D Hunting line. Like it's brethren 3D Grizzly and 3D White-tail, it's pretty standard (and in some ways outdated) for today's 3D hunting sims. The major difference, and the game's best feature, is MULTIPLAYER play which allow you and your friends to share in the hunt.
3D Trophy offers the standard four hunting locations- each with different terrain, game and weather effects (Utah, Colorado, Alberta, Oregon). The commands and overall action is VERY similar to 3D White-tail- except in one regard: killer moose. Yep, you better watch yourself in moose country or face the antlered wrath of one of these ill tempered, near sighted giants. Once, after bagging a caribou, I was walking up to my latest trophy only to hear the sounds of a LARGE moose running me down and goring me. The last thing I saw was that ugly moose's face....
Weapon selection again is VERY standard with bolt-action, lever-action, bow. Players can take a revolver as well. All else is eerily similar to 3D White-tail- making the function key commands and graphics just that more seemingly dated.
THE SCOUTING REPORT
THE PROS:
Ability to hunt pronghorn, elk, moose and
caribou.
Animal AI is pretty good- have to watch your back in moose country!
Decent terrain backgrounds.
Multi-player feature.
THE CONS:
Dated 3D graphics. Could be MUCH better
considering what other companies are doing these days.
Controls are still too keyboard oriented. Should be able to access items and perform more
actions just by using the mouse.
