Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2 ROM Description

If you’ve ever wondered where in the world Carmen Sandiego went, look no further than the 2004 GameCube title, Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums. This action-adventure game, developed by A2M and published by BAM! Entertainment, strays from the edutainment roots of the Carmen Sandiego franchise. You don the virtual shoes of ACME agent Cole Gannon, hopping from New York museums to Thai palaces, fending off robots and spirits. Yes, Carmen Sandiego has robots now. Though the game features a 3D world and obligatory abilities like double jumps and stealth mode, it’s plagued by a plethora of issues—most notably, horrid controls and dismal AI. Gone are the geography lessons of yore, replaced by trivial blurbs before each level that have no impact on gameplay. This installment is shockingly dull for a series that once enthralled young minds with education and mystery.

The game feels like a bowl of Lucky Charms where you’re searching for that one elusive marshmallow of entertainment, only to find a bunch of unremarkable oats. Its graphics and soundscape are equally unimpressive, essentially sticking a fork in any notion that this is a game worth your time. If you’re seeking a GameCube title with depth, you’re better off playing literally anything else.

Speaking of anything else, let’s pivot to Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2, another 2005 title for the GameCube that leans heavily into its hunting mechanics. The player goes on a globe-trotting quest for survival rather than traditional hunting, facing everything from grizzly bears in Alaska to Yetis in Siberia. Despite the shift from hunting to survival, the game provides a unique arsenal of weapons and a more gripping narrative than its predecessor. Yes, it’s you against the world, and every animal in it wants you gone. Unlike Carmen Sandiego, this game’s controls actually work, making it a far more enjoyable platformer. So, if you’re looking for an action-packed alternative, ditch Carmen and her botched caper for a face-off with nature in Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2.
