STARTING A GAME
Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 features two modes of play - Story and Gallery
Gallery – There are three types of shooting galleries you can access: Arcade,
Reflex, and Target.
Hunts where you shoot as many animals as you can to obtain a
high score.
Players shoot animals in a presented order for added bonuses.
Players shoot a variety of targets including the classic clay pigeon.
In single player Story mode, play as John Sharp, a professional hunter
who has been befriended by a wealthy member of the Order of Orion, a prestigious
hunting organization. John Sharp is taken to a variety of locations across the globe.
Only by progressing through story mode does the player get the opportunity to
prove himself in a final challenge that will secure his place in the Order.
To get the most out of your TOP SHOT ELITE controller, use the
calibration function in the Control section of the Options menu. This will adjust the
positioning and the speed of the on-screen targeting reticle. See page 7 for more
information.
DETECTION MODE – Detection Mode is your friend. Throughout the story
gameplay, you’ll be able to use Detection Mode regularly to help detect important
story elements. These include animal tracks, hunting blinds, and areas that could
give your position away.
