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. ;-)

Be interesting to see what Rare said then. Wonder if it was a polite answer ? ;-))
Nah! Nintendo are cheapskates!
They just ask nicely and hope for the best! :-D

Yeah - those evil Nintendo fiends throwing their cash around, thinking they can just buy everything. ;-)

Yes, chapters 1&2 give a bad first impression.
Chapter 3 was excellent - climbing up a mountain with loads of sniping.
Chapter 4 is a stealth-based. You've got to sneak into the reptilian's heavily guarded base - the enemy AI is a bit on the stupid side.
Chapter 5 is set in a temple zone - a bit like the catacombs from Turok 1.
Err, that's where I'm up to.
I agree with savatt that's it's an up-and-down kind of game.

NGC are the best aren't they?
Still, no one was expecting it to be the next Halo.
I wonder how much polishing up Acclaim is giving it over the 3 weeks to the GC launch.
In the US, all three came out at once.
The PS2 and Xbox version came to the UK 6 days later.
The fact that the GC version is taking 3 weeks longer than the other suggests improvements rather than conversion problems.
I think that the NGC magazine might have something to do with this...

Chapter 7 (a flying level) wasn't too bad. On chapter 8 now which is pretty decent - still have mixed feelings about the game though.

Seems ok.
With such a poor first impression given, that'll explain the early 2/10 scores that the owners were giving it.

Yeah, tho i dont think that its got the link up capabilities.
The multiplayer is wikid, tho i found that finding guns is hard than killing people and that one of the best weapons is the club which you start with. Its one hit kill when you charge it up for about 10 seconds. Then one blao on the head and they are in gibs.
