Mindless and fun dinosaur hunting game
Ok, I just started this game a little bit ago and have been playing it for about 30 minutes. For the lack of any more information on it, I did want to let others' know what to think of the game. This is definitely not award winning acting, or award winning gaming at all, but it sure is fun for dinosaur lovers. Decent 1080p graphics, but nowhere near Uncharted 2 or some other games but I'm sure it didn't cost near what those were to make in money and timeless programmer hours. The FPS gameplay is simple run and gun dino hunting. The load times are a bit long, but I really don't care, I love to hunt the dinos. Story? WGAS. I sure don't. Leave the stories to Uncharted 2, Batman, Juarez and the like. No really good one here, but it does make it kind of cheesy fun the way they did it. I didn't expect much from this seemingly last minute release, but its a blast and the dinosaurs look good and its a bit of a challenge but not too hard for an old 41 year old gamer like me. I do only have a few minutes in and I'll update this if there is more later. Sure is better than Turok, at least to me. (Lots more dino action)

Next day update. I don't write very many reviews, but this game seems to be getting such little attention I feel compelled to get info out there because I love FPS's and dinosaurs. I only played the JP games on Sega Genesis. Back to this game. If you are into "realism" and hard core graphics and great stories, give this game a pass. There are many graphical flaws and other low-budget game type of problems and mistakes. Slow loading times are a stand out annoyance, but I'll stick with my 5 star fun review and 4 star overall review. There are lots of guns to find and some magazine upgrades to find, lots of the same dinosaurs to kill and B-movie, or even C-movie acting and story telling. (if there really is a story) But this game should satisfy the dinosaur FPS fan. Its gotten a little more difficult at times but that is good and makes for a good challenge. The checkpoint times are done fairly well, but I have found myself re-doing some of the same mission kills after dying, so, just don't die. Well, some might want to wait until there is a larger price drop, but who knows when that will be. For the dino fan, it should be worth it and there is much more to come because it seems that I'm still early into the game. Hopefully it won't be too short.

Final edit: It didn't take long to beat this game and I'm not that good at games. I do hope that the developers really work at a sequel and putting a story together for the next one, if there is one. I think there is a huge market for something like this if its really done well. Like, instead of finding voice actors for minimum wage like this one, get some good ones. And, gameplay, gameplay and more gameplay. This one is ok but its so clearly a low budget game. Well, I took off one star and ended up with a 3 star and 4 stars for fun.

Decent Bargain priced title
One of the main reasons I bought this game was to satisfy my own curiosity about it. I could find almost no official reviews anywhere and some sites had completely different titles and box art. I guess that can be somewhat expected from a totally under the radar budget title that was revealed like a month before release. Basically this game is a mashup of the new soldier of fortune and the newer cabela games (i read that it was developed by the same team who did soldier of fortune and in fact i believe some of the weapon models are compeletely recycled from that game) and the ability to see the dinosaurs organs as you shoot them in slow motion is taken from the newer cabela games. This game took me about three and a half hours to play through and in that playthough I got all but one of the trophies (play through on the hardes difficulty which is unlocked by beating the game once) there is no online multiplayer, only a weird base defense mode that seems suited for online co-op or even split screen for that matter considering the multiple entrances you have to protect but it is entirely single player with online leaderboards. So the game has very short legs you could easily 100% this game in less than 24 hours and there is not much to come back to , but the price is right and its a decent playthrough, just don't expect to be wowed unless its by the incredibly bad voice acting.

wish I'd passed on this one - too much structure
Seems like ths game falls into the same mold as so many games having this common element of working through a particular corridor of events, picking up weapons,tying to reach objectives set by programmers, etc. you begin to feel like a rat in a maze trying to earn pellets of food. why not give the user a full menu of scenarios to choose from? play a while in different setups, try different weapons of your own chosing without having to 'earn' them, etc. After all we earned the money to buy the game already. Why not give us a chance to actually enjoy it? This review could go for a LOT of games I've bought recently.
