You are given a radar to help you find things, but that is practically useless as there are no real ways to set your viewpoint. The mound of dirt your duck blind sits atop isn’t much more than a brown blob.
There’s a tree in Virginia, and a white, snow covered tree in Alaska. Backgrounds are virtually indistinguishable. Clipping problems abound, such as my hunting dog somehow becoming merged with a bush half the time. Bleak, gray landscapes, clouds that might be ducks, and birds that suddenly appear and dive-bomb past you are just the most obvious issues. Sadly, any exceptional eyesight qualities that real hunters might have are wasted on this game. Hunters are supposed to have good eyesight, right? They need to be able to tell the difference between a squirrel and a tree at a few hundred yards. Of course, this means finding someone else who would rather play this game than another cooperative or competitive Wii game. There is also a multiplayer mode that puts you head to head against another hunter to try to get more ducks. Once this is done it is time to go hunting, and you’ll pick some part of the country that looks completely different from some other random part of the country. And also how to stop moving at the sound of a whistle. Then it is time for a brief training bit so that you can teach your old dog some new tricks, such as how to run forward, right, left, and back to you. It also features a story mode designed to let you pick a pre-loaded avatar that most hideously resembles you, name them, choose the color of a dog but not breed, and name that poor beast as well. Ultimate Duck Hunting features a “Quick Hunt” mode so that if you just want to get into the slaughter of innocent mallards, go right ahead. Is it easier to just go down to your local butcher? Let’s find out.
Boasting realistic graphics and trained retrieving dogs, Ultimate Duck Hunting puts you out in the marshes just like a real hunter. Though it shares nothing at all with the original game, Ultimate Duck Hunting can’t help but conjure memories of that classic Nintendo title. Twenty-five years since the original game was released, a new title hoping to trade on that nostalgia has arrived for the Nintendo Wii. Dating back to the original NES, any gamer who owned that system can remember whiling away hours of their lives aiming a lightgun at a tiny screen while a dog laughed at every miss and cheered every kill. There is a sacred history to the name Duck Hunt.
