Hunting games are in general pretty straightforward, and all they have to do is live up to their titles (it is really not hard to do). Yet here I am in my virtual stand with my virtual rifle, killing virtual Bambi and completely enjoying it. To be perfectly honest, I probably would have never laid my fingers on this title if not for my current occupation because I never had the desire to hunt animals on my computer. A lot of people think of hunting as an exercise for those of the 'redneck' persuasion, and stay away from a game like Deer Hunter 2005 for that reason alone. Having been raised in the city and surrounded by computers and video games, I am a rare breed and have, in fact, gone hunting. Hunting is a pastime for some, a hobby for others, and completely repulsive to even more.
