You move with the WASD keys, select weapons or gear with keys 1-10, look around with the mouse, and fire with the Left Mouse button. It's a great realistic touch, but annoying when you aren't aware of it beforehand.ĭespite the lack of a tutorial, the controls themselves aren't all that complicated (especially for players familiar with first-person shooters). You are given no warning or information on these beforehand, but actions like shooting a swimming deer or killing too many in a single hunt will turn your hunt into an illegal one that will not reward points or trophies. A general hunting guide or tutorial of any kind would have been tremendously helpful.Īnother related issue is illegal hunting actions.
You might see that a certain scent attracts bucks, but no idea when or where to use it.
While many items have simple descriptions that tell you what they do, they don't tell you how to properly use them. This can be challenging, especially for people unfamiliar with hunting. When you first start the game, you're left to basically figure everything out on your own. The biggest problem for Deer Hunter 2004 is the total lack of any sort of tutorial or manual. No Tutorial Makes the Learning Curve Steeper You'll need a lot of patience to find the best deer or to camp out and lure them to you. One downside when it comes to difficulty and playing the game is just the amount of time you might need to hunt down and collect all these deer. These difficulties give you the ability to find a hunting experience that's right for you. There are three different difficulty levels offered in Deer Hunter 2004. Not only can you hunt in these locations, but there's even an option to observe the deer in these locations with the Wildlife mode, which can give you valuable information for your hunts. For example, deer will often be found near water sources later in the day, or out in the open on sunny days. You can change the time of day and weather as well, all of which will affect the appearances and behavior of deer.
When picking a location, you can also select one of three seasons, which will change how effective calls and lures can be. While these are large and diverse maps to play, it would have been nice to have a few more options to choose from. There are a total of six different locations where you can hunt ranging from the Kentucky farmlands to the Oregon Valley. However, since Deer Hunter 2004 is an older game and Deer Hunter 2005 has been released, there really isn't anyone online to play. You can hunt alone, or go online and play with others. Once you've got all three, your hunt is over and you can begin a new hunt. You can bag one doe (adult female deer) and two bucks (adult male deer). You'll begin your hunt in that area and can kill and collect (bag) up to three deer. Once you've got a hunter, you can select a location to hunt and the gear you want to use.
