4.0 out of 5 stars Mindless and fun dinosaur hunting game, November 3, 2009

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 visuals, 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. (to me at least, many more dinosaurs and lots more dinosaur 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars entertaining FPS, November 21, 2009

I am a fan of first person shooters, because I like the instant and constant action these games provide. This game is fun and entertaining. The story is short, but after playing through on normal mode, you can try again on hard mode with additional weapons. There is also a survival mode which is similar to horde, nazi zombies, firefight, etc. Having said that this game is not of the same caliber as the games which feature those modes. The graphics are a bit choppy, and not on par with todays 9+ rated games. This game is not a high budget blockbuster, but for the price ($40), I believe its worth it. The game could use a coop/online mode, especially for the survival portion. I bought the game and finished it, and would probably play the hard mode, and the survival mode a few times, so I rate the replay value as moderate. Overall I rate the game a 7.5, but the magazines would probably rate it a 6.5 or 7, based on the above mentioned defects.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best "budget" game I've played, November 10, 2009

JURASSIC THE HUNTED is a short game but it's well designed and lots of fun. The 12 levels are well detailed, the dinosaurs look and sound great, and the shooting mechanics -- especially for a "low budget" game like this -- are terrific. This game probably had half the budget of TUROK but it's twice as satisfying because the game is actually fun to play.

Yes, it's too bad it's a short ride, with only the Survival mode keeping you going for repeat play -- but that said, I don't think I've ever played a better "budget" game. Kudos to Cauldron for this one, and hopefully a sequel will do an even better job with the engine they built here.
