I don't know why everyone els says Trespasser is bad. I think it's a great game! There are tons of weapons and junk to use against the dinos, and the levels are huge! The graphics are great too. The controls in the game seem kind of hard and annoying at first but it gets easy when you used to them. There are some glitches in the game but there pretty small. This game is one of the best games I have ever played.

About 3 out of 5 people that comment on Trespasser say they love it. About 1 out of 10 of them are reviewers. The reason for this, I believe, is that Trespasser is not for the "Sunday drivers" of the gaming industry. There are a couple of reasons for this; 1.) The hand alone is hideous enough to scare most people away, and other than the magnificent dinosaurs, the graphics engine is a bit weak, for all the power it consumes. 2.) The game did not come through with all its promises, and that's a frustrating thing to deal with as a consumer. The positives, though, are simply staggering. The physics engine is unmatched. The models are highly realistic, and range from tiny to so huge that the ground quakes when they walk. Seeing dinosaurs is a fantasy of most people, and the chance to interact with them would be even better. You can do this. You could pat em on the back, roll them down a hill, swing a log at there head or drop a few tons of steel on to them. Not to mention shoot them. If not the game, then the engine itself deserves a second chance. I would not recommend this to the casual gamer, that's why I didn't give it 5 stars. Although, I've been playing games since I was 4 years old. I have never before been able to realize a fantasy to interact with a false world. Trespasser brought me somewhat closer though.

I was given this game (it was literally falling to bits, but the CD is fine)

Of all the games out there, I think this game - if you look at it in terms of 'a concept' - is probably where the future of games will go (and should go)

someone here had mentioned the physics engine - I'm no physicist, but Trespasser's physics engine is the best I've ever seen (and I have used MathEngine and Havok) - a physics engine that was developed between 1996 and 1998
the highlight is when you push a Jeep off the side of the mountain - I must have repeated that performance about 10 times (upon saving)
you can't believe how GOOD - really amazing - the physics engine really is (it leaves UT2003 in the dust, let me put it to you that way)

that in itself is just simply staggering - who are these people at Dreamworks messing with a physics engine before anyone knew what a physics engine should be used for?

moving on - Trespasser's 3D sound seems to be appearing in games coming out just in this year alone - that alone, is simply another staggering concept

Trespasser is just way ahead of its time (the big problem inherent in it)

on to the game - it's awful; I'm sure - with the best intentions - that a whole load of dynamics were applied to the game to make it stand out from the crowd; and it certainly managed that. Only that standing out from the crowd and being a complete jerk is probably not the way to do it

I have noticed reviewers here not mentioning exactly what is needed to play Trespasser - well it sure is NOT a PII or an AMD K6. The best results I've seen were K7 (1.4Ghz) and an FSB clock speed of 166Mhz on the AMD platform - anything less will kill it when you switch on the full detail that Trespasser is capable of. And talking of the graphics card, you don't need anything special. The best one in terms of cost is the ATI Radeon 9500 Pro

As a concept - in 1998, people must have been in shock. Physics in a game? Woah! Hold the phone!

As a game - it falls very short

Someone needs to tell Dreamworks to give the license of Trespasser to someone who can combine Gameplay, 3D sound and Physics and pull it off so that it does work, and the story itself will lay claim to the fact that you can't beat it

Something special is here in Trespasser, but like a piece of coal, you'd never see the diamond inside without applying a bit more pressure (development)

Trespasser should have the emphasis on weapons, virtually removed. It's pathetically ridiculing the game's concept

This game has a reputation of being terribly bad. I feel differently, One of the most talked about problems is the control, lots of people are whining about not being able to control her arm and so on.... In fact the arm control is very realistic and well done, its just that most people who have adapted to not having to worry about controling anything and only have to push the trigger. So they find the 'being able to control you arm' thing hard and they give up because they'ed rather have it easy, im not gonna lie to you, controling your arm in the game is difficult, but is finely done once you learn how. Another problem people are having is with slowdown, yes, this game slows down on slow machines, but if you have a pentium 2 400 or greater you should be fine, The gameplay is excelent and the AI(artificial intelegence)on the dinos really shines, I think that this game is good on a fast machine, and if you like real phisics and real life type stuff, then you'll love this game.

p.s. If you are a cheater type person I would recomend actually trying to play the game before you wimp out and use cheats, it is possible:)

Trespasser is an amazing game. the AI, the graphics, the physics, you name it. not only that, but there is this sense of fear from it, just like you are actually on that island. You feel the presence of the greatest predators that ever lived at all times through this game. I have never felt like this about any other game I have played.I think that the main problem with the game critics is that they have lost the ability to play a game and be taken on a journey and sense fear, wonder...instead, they only see what is behind the game, the computer code, what the company did wrong... it goes on and on. well, I think there should be game reviewers who don't know as much about what is 'behind' the game so they can truly be the judge of what is a good game and what is not.

This game gave the opportunity to actually go to Jurassic Park... well, Site B, anyway. The game plot was well written, if cliche, and works well as a Jurassic Park franchise. When this game came out, the physics engine was revolutionary. Today (2005), it will appear rather dated. My one other complaint: too much shooting, too few puzzles.

I agree with xip's review,The story sucks but the game is AMAZING,Its is my most favriot game ever.Thats why i am a member of Trescom.Org

It has a few glitches but it's the most amazing game I have ever seen. Fans have been able to create a Trespasser level editor and started to create new levels. Visit trescom.org for more info.

This game gits bad rep.It is realy a good game you just have to be good to play it.The dinosaurs are smart and impressive.i have a good computer so the game is awesome on it.The guns look almost real.The puzzles are easy.But there are some bugs.You cant shoot a 12 gauge 1 handed and how does she put a big gun on her back?I personally like this game.

I got this game when it first came out. Compared to more contemporary games that take full advantage of the latest graphics cards, many people may be disappointed... and yes, it has a lot of bugs, but the creativity and the thrill of adventuring in a wilderness full of dangerous AI is awesome! There are moments when you will panic! They need to let Bethesda or Ravensoft do an update or sequel to work out all the bugs. They don't have to change much else!!!
