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. ;-)
Welcome to the X-Box forum by the way. ;-)
Though it's not a certainty that those two games will be better.
I'm only up to Chapter 5 (god knows how many Chapters there are), but if I had to give it a score right now, I'd say.... 7/10.
I keep swaying from "I don't like this game" to "I quite like this game"....
Chapters 3 & 5 have been the best so far.
The weapons I've had have been pretty good - some of them have dual uses like the flamethrower.
Overall, it started off badly, but it's improved. I think it's a decent game - above average. Can't really complain....
Also, select the tek bo and use the left shoulder button to select your green poison arrows. Shoot a character twice up the ar5s in quick succession then sit back and watch them puke up as they die. ;-))
I say shoot them in the backside cause in other areas you risk killing them outright more without the extra desired affect. ;-))
I did this last night cause like you I got a little bored of the story mode and decided to try that stuff out on defenceless opponents. ;-)
