Having played the game for about 30 mins, I came on here to check out the numerous threads about it, only to find out there aren't any!

Well, I've got mixed feelings about the game so far. It's clear from the outset that this is far from a classic of any form. The framerate slows frequently (but not to the point where it's unplayable) and the environments are a little too angular and bland in places.

Still, plenty of commendable points to make. The enemies are nicely detailed, as are the weapons, and the controls aren't too better. It's a little unexciting at first, using a crappy bow and having to find keys etc. But things start to pick up once you get hold of meatier weapons. I just had a rather entertaining sort of boss battle against a horde of killer chimps! Lol!

So far, slightly above average, I'd say. :/

The minigun in the game is class!! You really feel like you're mowing them down.


And how about the effects on the flame thrower?

Oh, excuse me, I think I've just come...

Well judging by the name 'Dinosaur Huneter' you kinda expect that, don't you?

Mixed opinions all round then.

I've decided to get it tomorrow, and if it's not up to scratch after thorough play, I'll take it back the day after, seeing as I have to go back for some doctor's appointment (which is close to the games store).
Convenient, eh?

What do you flaming expect then? These levels are the most boring of the lot! They're the levels for beginners to get to grips with the game! Christ, you're really mis-judging the game if you're basing it on the first two levels!

My opinion is that one player it is average but multiplayer it is class. i have been playing 4 player all weekend (one of my controllers broke - official as well). the first 3 chapters are shi*e until you get the good weapons like the rocket launcher and the sniper pistol then it gets better.
