Deer Hunter 2 Demo

Beside patience, hunting requires some impressive equipment as well, ranging from maps and appropriate outfits, to lures, binoculars and various other gadgets that make it easier for you to stalk and put down your prey. However, it also usually means that you have to travel a bit and scour the woods at the crack of dawn, which may not sit well with slightly more comfortable persona.

Deer Hunter 2, as the name implies, is a hunting simulator that allows you to benefit from the thrill of the hunt without having to leave the city, right from the comfort of your own home. Thus, by simulating a realistic environment and large maps for you to explore at will, the game can provide you with hours of entertainment, as long as you do not mind being patient and walking around for the majority of time.

In the beginning, you can create a character and choose your in-game alter-ego, in order to be able to go on a hunt. Moreover, you can also choose from a variety of weapons and locations, all of which are modeled in order to resemble their real counterparts. Naturally, the weapon you choose has a big impact on the gameplay, since they all have different behaviors and you must get familiar with each one of them before you are able to put them to good use.

Once you head out into the woods, the atmosphere becomes extremely relaxing and peaceful, what with the whistling of the trees and the singing of the birds. However, you also have to remain extremely aware of your surroundings at all times, since deers are very sensitive and they get spooked quickly. Hence, whenever one walks into your sights, you must be prepared to take the shot as precisely as you can, otherwise you return to walking.

Because the game came out quite a while ago, the graphics may not turn any heads, especially since the low-resolution textures didn't age too well. However, if you can get past the pixelated environments and the blurry 3D models, the game can impress through its large maps and the peaceful atmosphere, which should provide you with enough reasons to ignore the visual aspect.

In the end, Deer Hunter 2 can be the source for many hours of gameplay, especially if you are a hunting enthusiast and you enjoy the thrill of tailing game through the woods. The large collection of weapons provides you with many different ways to approach the prey, all of which require quite a bit of practice and patience.
