This game was very challenging when I first tried it, but it turns out to be a fun game. The main goal is to try to survive from being eaten by dinosaurs. You use gun turrets, grab ammo, and fight enormous dinosaurs like the Spinosaurus and T-rex. You must get through 14 levels. If you are a fan of dinosaurs and bloody violence, this is your type of game!

This review is from: Jurassic: The Hunted (Video Game)

This game is not a bad shooter, considering it was made to run well on the PS2. The action is kind of slow paced compared to other shooters like doom or half life (done deliberately to accomadate the PS2s processing power), but I am a big fan of shooters, and I like shooters that involve dinosaurs, so I found it enjoyable. The plot is pretty cheesy, involving a group of expeditionaries who crash land on an island that is undergoing some sort of time warp, transporting the island and it's inhabitants back to the Jurassic period. Your job is to make your way from the crash sight, past all the dinosaurs who want to eat you, to where a scientist, who has been on the island for a long time, has the key to escape. Not terribly engrossing, then again this is not a game that you play for the plot. The graphics are good, the weapon selection is standard for a first person shooter; running the gamet from pistols to shotguns to assault rifles, and there are some interesting scenarios, like when you have to defend an enclosure from an assault of velocaraptors. The game plays somewhat like resident evil, in that you can only carry so many weapons at a time, which means at parts you will have to choose which weapons to carry and also conserve your ammo. This may or may not be a good thing for gamers who are used to carrying about twenty different weapons, with all the ammo they will ever need right around every corner. You spend most of the game wandering through jungle type environments, fighting mostly raptors (which come in several sizes), while occasionly running into other things like pterodactyls. You fight one t-rex, and one spinosaurus, which you encounter as the bosses in a couple levels. The game is very linear, so you wont do much free roaming like in other games. Although I enjoyed it, there are some serious drawbacks. There is not a wide variety of dinosaurs in here: velocaraptors, dilophasaurous, pterodactyls, a t rex, a spinosaurous, and that's about it. There are also some giant scorpians thrown in for variety. The biggest problem with the game is that it's too short. I beat it in three hours, and I am by no means an expert gamer. If the game was longer, had more dinosaur types, and was made to play at a fast pace like your typical shooter, this could have been a great game.

Overall, this game is a fun three hours. It's got good graphics, nice looking environments, and you get to shoot dinosuars (although mostly velocoraptors). If want to get it, rent it if you can. I wouldnt spend more that five dollars if you want to buy it. It's just not worth the money.

This review is from: Jurassic: The Hunted (Video Game)

After many years of enjoying the Carnivores games
with decent graphics and interesting scenerios,
I expected a new game to be as good if not
better. While the graphics and premise are
good, there is only one level. I started
playing and in a couple of hours I was done!
Left me wanting more =(
