Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!

Infogrames' WizardWorks Group announced today that Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter III: Trophies of the West has been completed and will be released on September 18. Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter III is the latest in the hunting series, and it lets you track some of the world's most elusive and coveted big game.

The game features hunting areas in both the United States and Canada, as well as prize animals such as mountain lions, elk, Dall sheep, bighorn sheep, caribou, mountain goats, and black and brown bears. And in the true spirit of outdoor adventuring, you will be able to use trucks or ATVs to travel over 3D landscapes to search out your animals. Once near your animal, you'll be able to simulate hunting actions like sidestepping around trees, crouching around boulders, and even hunting on horseback. In another realistic twist, dangerous animals may now attack you. And in multiplayer games, you can even see such attacks on your hunting partner.

Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter III: Trophies of the West will be available at retail outlets for a suggested retail price of $US19.99.
