Not so very long I posted up that ‘Big Buck Hunter Pro’ for iPhone had got a release – well now I’ve got to play it!
There’s not a great deal to explain as regards the central concept – you are deer hunting, and you’ve got take down as many of the little suckers as possible – interspersed with that are some fairground-like games, including flipping frogs, and whacking moles. I’ve got to say though, even at this point, it’s all done with a great deal of style and panache – even down to the authentic voiceover from a ‘hunter’ 
The scenery is actually done really well in this game – they’ve used the graphical capabilities of the iPhone to generate some sweet-looking backgrounds. On top of that, the movement of the various deer are animated extremely well. So all’s good on that front!
There they are.... I've got the drop on them!
I have to say, and maybe I’m becoming rubbish at gaming in my old age, that the difficulty level is right up there – much like clay pigeon shooting simulation games, you’ve got to aim ahead of the target, to account for bullet-travel time. But hey, that’s part of the challenge right!
... but I'm a rubbish shot and now they've got away.
As I said, overall the game is very well put together, and I think for £1.79 it’s a good spend of money – if of course, you’re in to shooting animals
You can get ‘Big Buck Hunter Pro’ from the App Store on iTunes by searching for ‘Big Buck’

It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
