Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD goes far on the scale of Bear Grylis, but doesn’t go far enough when it comes to survival techniques. It’s cool how the ground shakes and paw prints stay visible, but with a wind, sound and sight meter it’s all too simple. The dinosaurs animations are also laughably bad.
I bought this game for 3 quid in PSN sale and it's brilliant old school fun the mechanics are so simple their complex and keep you invested. Ignore all the negative comments about this game you can't get a flipping magazine for 3 quid anymore!
This game is a rather direct successor the the original carnivores series. With the development time, and me seeing it on the market, i bought it nearly instantly. If this game came out for PC, i would definitely buy it on there as well.
You play a hunter in a world populated by dinosaurs. Your goal is to shoot and capture or kill any dinosaur you're licensed to. It's pretty straight forward, and is really like a cabella for dinos.
Overall, the games structure, including it's menus are very responsive, and although it can get a little tedious, it's fun running around trying to jump on or shoot dinosaurs while jumping, or just playing a little strangely, and being really loud, running down the dinosaurs on foot.
Overall, it's definitely worth the 12-15 dollars i spent on it, and i would buy it if it were on steam.
Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD has some glaring flaws that refrain it from reaching prize catch status, but its accessible mechanics and decent sense of progression ensure that there's still room for it on the trophy wall – especially if you're a fan of overgrown lizards.
This game feels like the developers took the mobile version, improved the graphics and removed some contents. Then, they've shamelessly tried to sell it at a higher price.
Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD is a real mess. I didn’t pay for this, so I don’t feel like I have lost anything other then time, but I feel actual sorrow for the people that have. Avoid this like an extinction-level meteor.
Carnivores’ imbalance results in a tedious experience that’s simply a waste of time. Even the most die-hard dinosaur-loving hunting fans can find something better to do.
It's been over 10 years since the last installment in the Carnivores Saga, and it is a welcome sight to return to. For the price of $13 it's a great bargain for those who enjoy hunting sims and are tired of the linear crap we are given in today's gaming world. Sure it is a little bare considering such a small team made it, but the behaviors of the dinosaurs and the general feel that you're hunting in an open environment with some dinosaurs hunting you makes this game a thrilling installment in the Carnivores franchise. Hopefully the reviews that make this game look lackluster are ignored, because this game really deserves attention.
This game is fantastic and lots of fun! The Dinosaurs look a whole lot better than the originals on the pc and overall, it's a great game for hunting fans
Finally, at the end of PS3 life cycle, comes a game that makes me glad I own a PS3. Missing from this game are frills, intense multiplayer and cinematic cutscense. But what IS included is an experience full of adventure, suspense, great scenery and good plain video game fun. I fear this game will get reviewed at the same level as a game that costs 59.99. Keep in mind, this released at **** view it through that lense. For $13, I will go on a limb and say this is the best PS3 game on the market.
Why I like the game:
Imagine: Hiding behind a rock, in the **** hear thumping…your whole screen shakes from the weight of the foot steps…you hear it roaring, but aren't sure what side of the rock it's on……crap, you are upwind…it smells you and **** you have to crouch and stalk the dino and work your way around to be **** not let it see or hear you. You find the dino again and line up the perfect shot (I am using tranquilizer ****, hold your breath (there's a button for that) and take a shot. The dino is down! You call your spaceship in to pick up the dino and add it to your trophy room!
With a mobile version available on almost any mobile OS, I can't begin to imagine who would need this. Much like Angry Birds: Star Wars was unbelievable in its lack of necessity or justification for existing, this is still, at heart, a very simple mobile game meant to just waste some time. It's simple and fun, sure. But that's why it started as and remains a game to play on your phone or tablet for brief periods. With the game being about $2 on mobile, this is just useless.
