Big Buck Hunter is arcade gold, and Big Buck Hunter: Ultimate Trophy brings that thrill home with a massive content boost. This isn't just an arcade port, it's a significant expansion. If you love blasting virtual bucks or want a fun, competitive shooter, Ultimate Trophy might be what you're looking to satisfy your nostalgia needs.


1) Unprecedented Content Volume: When they say "3X the content" they mean it. With 9 distinct animal adventures spanning the globe, 27 unique treks, and a staggering 135 hunting sites, there's a truly immense amount to explore. You won't be running out of new places to hunt anytime soon.

2) Diverse and Exciting Animal Roster: Forget just whitetails! Ultimate Trophy throws a fantastic variety of game at you, from the classic deer and caribou to more exotic and even prehistoric creatures like Woolly Mammoths and Saber-Toothed Tigers. Plus, the inclusion of over 48 small-game critters adds another layer of scoring opportunities.

3) Enhanced Weapon Choices: The familiar shotgun is present and accounted for, but the addition of the crossbow brings a new tactical element to the gameplay. It offers a different feel and likely rewards more precise shots, catering to different playstyles.

4) Fun Multiplayer Modes: The inclusion of both turn based and simultaneous multiplayer options is a fantastic addition. Whether you prefer to strategize your shots or engage in fast-paced competitive action with a friend on the couch, the game offers both.

5) Great Bonus Games: The 27 bonus games, like Pappy's Moonshine Factory,"promise a welcome break from the main hunting action and add a layer of arcade-style fun that the series is known for.

6) Revamped Trophy Room: The reimagined trophy room sounds like a great way to showcase your hard-earned bucks and critters. Customizable displays and evolving frames add a sense of progression and personalization to your achievements.

7) Stunning Visuals and Environments: The promise of beautifully rendered locations and smooth on-rail camera work suggests a visually appealing experience that should immerse you in the different hunting environments.

8) The Wild Card DLC: The Mythic Hunting Pack with Buckzilla and Zombie Deer sounds absolutely bonkers and adds a unique, over the top element to the game that could be a lot of fun, especially for those looking for something different.


Alright, speaking as someone who loves a good arcade shooter, I have to say the price tag on Big Buck Hunter: Ultimate Trophy feels a little hefty. It's nearly $50 total price (base $40 + $10 DLC) feels steep for an on rails shooter, even with extra content. For that price, deeper games exist. While the nostalgia is tempting, there's more value for your money elsewhere.


Having played it, Big Buck Hunter: Ultimate Trophy is the ultimate home version. It's packed with content, deeper gameplay with more animals and guns, and fun multiplayer/bonus modes. It's a genuinely fun, action packed, and competitive shooter. The graphics are good, and the Mythic Hunting DLC is a blast (though separate). Yes, it's still on rails arcade shooting, but the sheer amount to do makes it really enjoyable.
