The graphics in this game are really old looking and could have been better. The gameplay mechanics could of made this game great but instead made you feel very stiff. Its fun to find animals to hunt but if you tick off the wrong animal it could cost you your life. There are fun animals to shoot like the elephant, bear, and the standard deer. But this game could of done alot…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game (between the 2008 and 2010 versions) is the way to go, the 2010 version's additions are buggy and honestly barely there. I would only reccomend this game to those looking for the nostalgia from playing it before hand as the gaphics aren't too great, and theres not many features. But this game has a special place in many people's childhood and I'd reccomend it to those who would give it a chance.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a long review for those who want to know all details of the game. Long story short, this is a very nostalgic open world classic where you can basically do whatever you want. You can hunt 8 different areas, all ranging around the world, and HU2010 even adds a few more. You can hunt the Southern Rockies: a hidden gem brimming with versatility, accommodating noob and seasoned hunters alike. The South Central Plains: where hunters wither under the sun every year in pursuit of game ranging…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's so realistic!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Slow, clunky, dull and a generally poor experience. They even made more than one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this in 2009, 10 years ago. I used to play the ♥♥♥♥ out of it when I was younger, back when my dad actually used my steam. It's a pretty decent hunting game if you can get passed the graphics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is a great game for me is the best game of hunting franchise.I just like it and is cheap.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hunting Unlimited 2008 is a snapshot of an earlier era of PC hunting games, offering a broad, open-ended experience that emphasizes variety, accessibility, and the simple thrill of tracking game through wide, open landscapes. Developed by SCS Software and published by Ziggurat, the game takes a straightforward approach: instead of building a narrative or layering on complex survival systems, it provides players with a large selection of regions, animals, and tools, then invites them to craft…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →thank for the childhood
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hunting Unlimited is a first person "hunting" simulator where you pretend to use a variety of lethal firearms on defensive, sometimes endangered wildlife. If that's not mentally healthy, I don't know what is. In line with the premise of the game, the delivery here is terrible, low quality art assets, and overscan/DPI issues causing the top left hand corner of the game to fill the entire screen because the thugs at ValuSoft couldn't work out how to make a video game display over 1080p.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I grew up playing this game as a child, and it just brings back so much nostalgia playing this again! Sure the graphics and gameplay aren't up to today's standards, but back in my day, this was the stuff! Haha
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very Nice Game I play this when i have 7 years old
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay was alright. Choose 3 animals to hunt and you go out and try to get them. My only problem with this game was the missing textures. Didn't play too long because of that. It did bring back a little nostalgia from when I would play the old dinosaur hunting game called Carnivore.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it sucks it does not work on newer pcs
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics look awful even for 2008, the controls dont handle very well and are clunky, the gameplay is rather slow, boring and dull but i can say the intro/menu music is awesome! Overall: 3.5/10 a not buy for me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I accidentally bought this but refunded it to get 2010. Why? There are levels to being an idiot; and mine is mistaking this one as my childhood game but it was actually the 2010. Difference? Just some guns, a new map and overall better everything so nothing too serious but content wise this was still rock solid nonetheless.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lots of fun, of course slower paced than today's hunting games, but just as fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really simple easy hunting sim I think the cabella games are still better but this one is not a bad title either.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, it's a good game! One of my favorite, right after Carnivores: Ice Age There are disadvantages: 1. No, or bad clues where animals on some maps 2. Slow movement, even with transport 3. Decoys and the wind do not play a role 4. A small selection of weapons 5. It is difficult to aim and hit
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to play this pretty heavily back in the day, great game to get wished they still made new ones lots of hours spent hunting big game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like this game because it is very fun love and play it alot
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →amazing game wold recomend but please add more stuff to the game overall its is a good game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ATV go VREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOM! Had this game on disc when it came out and played it all the time. Big nostalgia for me with the menu music. You also get a nice little selection with weapons, animals, and equipment. Not gonna lie, controls, graphics, and physics are kinda ass... but it's my ass. I recommend trying it if it goes on a good sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Runs well on Windows 11 and uses OpenGL. In the launcher the highest and maximum setting for Shader Quality is probably ARB2 and not NV3X even though NV3X is right on top.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very similar to 2010, I love it i have a review on 2010.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My favorite game of all time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like to hunt but don't any more ,this replaces it for me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So boring. Terrible graphics. If you love the boredom of sitting patiently for hours on end, combined with the lack of graphics, then this game is for you. 2/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →extremely fun but after playing it six hours it started repeatedly crashing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i would recommend this game if it had microtransactions. it would be so much better if it was free to play but then it had a stamina system that if it runs out i could wait like 4 hours or pay like $12 or something.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tags: Tycoon&Simulator&Sim&City Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Might had been fun at some point but there are better Hunting Simulation Games around nowadays... even from the same series you could get this instead : http://store.steampowered.com/app/12690/Hunting_Unlimited_2010/ Which I happen to own so I will remove this 2008 version for declutter
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pritty good game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the game I was playing in 2008 with call of duty 4 and medal of honor airborne. It brought me my high school time's memory. I was chasing a girl but she's got a boy friend. I felt sad and tried to find some fun games to play. Hunting unilimited 2008 is fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hunting unlimited series are probably some of the most underrated hunting games there are. theres limited story line, wide open maps, and a plethora of guns. thats what a hunting game should be. not limited to objectives in most cases, not limited to areas and you dont start with just a gun or something. i recommend you buy them if you prefer a hunting game.
