So whose getting this next week ? :-) I'll be getting it and from what I've seen it looks good so far. The E3 DVD shows some nice footage of it and whats in the game. That swarm bore weapon looks pretty tasty - having played the other games I have fond memories who I killed with the old version of that weapon. ;-)

Thing is, I keep thinking how good it would have been if a little extra was included in the game. What I would have loved to have seen is a dinosaur hunting mode - no cyborgs or evil bad guys, just a mode where you can sit back, hunt and even take trophies (skulls or claws maybe ?)
The idea of the bushes and stuff moving and making noise is great, so a hunting mode could be excellent. :-)

I know you can go around killing normal dinosaurs in Evolution, but this would be even better as far as the hunting goes. Maybe even a Co-Op mode where 2 players can have a screen each or something and just roam around trying to kill a bigger T-Rex than they've bagged before.
Thats where the trophies could come in - you could display your biggest kills of each breed just like you get records in fishing games and stuff.

I think it'd add some longevity - especially when things can turn around and your soon having to leg it from a pack of raptors. ;-)

Sniping things rules, I think anyone that loves gun games loves sniping. Gotta love the Sniping in Goldeneye that's preety much what started the whole sniping thing off.

Neither did the Xbox line up Strafex, but people are quick to critise the Xbox due to lack of games yet I feel that the GameCube is in the same position. In this case Nintendos previous reputation has helped them an awful lot., thats what I believe anyway.

Same accross all platforms.

No. The Nintendo name has helped - it means people take a look at it knowing Nintendo's past repuatation, but the launch titles haven't exactly let expectations down.
