New Buck Hunter Game Has 100% Less White Tail, 68% More Thrillkilling

To everyone who watched the Lion King and thought, “Goddamn this would be better if every fucking creature on screen was twitching on the ground filled with lead,” Big Buck Safari has arrived. Play Mechanix’s sequel to Buck Hunter takes the barroom hunting experience out of North America and deep into the heart of Africa. With the new territory comes several new species of virtual victims like Gemsbok, Kudu, Cape Buffalo and more. A new trophy kill feature rolls out a a single leopard, lion, zebra, elephant, and one surprisingly nimble giraffe to gun down as a bonus kill in each round. If you start questioning the idea of using a pump action shotgun to kill a two-ton mammal while playing, order another beer, you’re thinking too much. The only things you can’t shoot have hooves and no horns, the rest of the (ample) wildlife on the screen is fair game, even the frogs.

Play Mechanix is also updating all their Big Buck Hunter Pro machines with online play. Sign up for an account and you can track your stats, invite other players into online tournaments and compete in official Big Buck Tournaments for cash prizes. Or you could just put down five bucks to any taker at your local. Don’t bet anyone wearing blaze orange or asks you if you’re a Yankee.
