The game features a big variety of environments available including lush forests, dry deserts, craggy mountains, flooded plains, scorching savannas and the freezing tundra.

Sometimes the player can reach a hidden area, where they have an opportunity to photograph rare animals and natural behaviors.

The game also features multiplayer where players can create or customize their own map from a template (based on campaign or gallery) or from scratch.

The game was released packaged with the Top Shot Elite, a plastic peripheral for the Wii controller.

Twenty-five-year-old John Sharp, a rookie big game hunter, is invited to participate in the Cabela's 2012 International Safari hosted by John Hathcock, a high-ranking member of the Order of Orion, an elite club of world-class big game hunters from all over the world.

The player heads to Mexico, where he hunts whitetail, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, and mule deer.

After taking shelter in an arroyo during a sandstorm, Sharp finds boot tracks, confident that someone trespassed into his zone.

Sharp finds that Freidkin's stand was knocked over by a startled bison, making him fall 70 feet down into a gorge.

The player goes to Namibia, where he hunts blackbuck, impala, zebra, wildebeest, greater kudu, White rhino and Cape buffalo.

Meanwhile, a man-eating grizzly bear named Bloody Ben has been terrorizing the island for the last decade, and poses a huge threat to the hunters, spectators, and game animals in the area.

In the midst of the blizzard, Sharp finally finds Ben's tracks, and just as he's about to shoot, a man jumps in front of his scope, revealed to be Matisse.
