BIG BUCK HUNTER PRO

I recently bought the home version of the dive bar favorite: Big Buck Hunter Pro. It's the plug-n-play TV version and it's the best $40.00 I've ever spent.

It is the same as the arcade/bar version, down to the enthusiastic redneck voice cheering you on when you bag a buck. The game is housed in the plastic shotgun controller (and you place a tracking sensor on top of your TV screen). The only complaint I have about the game is that there is a slight lag in the tracking of your gun movements, but with a little practice you can compensate for this.

An epic evening: I had friends over, cheap beer, and Big Buck Hunter Pro on the TV. We played for hours and killed hundreds of woodland creatures.

OVERALL RATING: **** FOUR (out of five stars)
