I had a Big Buck HD Wild with 50" LED for about a year and a half ... upgraded it to have the Zombie pack which was really cool adn added a lot of fun to the game ... also upgraded to have the Duck Dynasty content which was like playing real life duck hunt. It has tons of bonus target rounds that you can play whihc to me was actually more entertaining that the standard hunts. Everyone really enjoyed it but in the end I sold it and my golden tee to make room for more pins... i never looked into playing online but you can play it at home without any compromise... I'm not sure what connecting to the network would offer you over and above what you can do at home.
