User Reviews about Jurassic: The Hunted

ok so i decided to get jurassic the hunted and its pretty much what i was expecting.if u like shooting things with no plot n all then you should like this. kinda like left for dead but with dinosaurs and not as good as left for dead obviously, but the dinosaurs look cool. theres 12 levels im only in the 3rd so far. taking my time with it cuz i heard its not very long. playing this game to tie me over until dantes inferno comes out. im not sure if itll be replayable to me after i complete it guess ill find out when that time comes. the survior mode is ok it would be better if u could at least have split screen on the same console. not many dinosaur games out there. turok i kinda hated, because it had long checkpoints and you fought guys and stuff . what i like about this is its jus dinosaurs even tho it has a weak story but what dinosaur game has one thats good. inconclusion you should at least give this a rent or even for 30 bucks it isnt that bad cuz u can always sell it on ebay. -- decent budget game!!

I actually went and picked up this game 2 days after its release, with me being a big Jurassic Park, and just overall big Dinosaur fan. Well to my pleasure the game looked beautiful(mind you its Activison, so it had to be at least passable). Well the only problem is looks definitely arent everything, the gameplay is pretty spot on, except when your trying to kill dinos that run you around in circles, then the camera gets a little crazy. The dialogue i'll have to admit is super horrible, for instance, after you've already killed about 10, he exclaims "wow, that looks like a dinosaur" after seeing a dead one laying on the ground, no kidding really?! So if your into stories, this would have gotten it for worst in ohhh around 10 years or so. The main problem with the game is its extremely bad bad frame rate and lag. Now this is possibly due to a rushed development, but seeing is how the game is just as detailed as Far Cry, or even Crysis in some areas i hardly see hows thats possible. My take on it? Well i think certain games being release are outdoing what the consoles can handle, graphically speaking of course. I think if this had been released on PC, with a much more powerful graphics card, it would run flawless. However framrate or not,it really can't save the game from itself, and just being a basic Turok type run of the mill dinosaur hunting game. This can be fun for a few hours, but eventually it doesnt boast much else. So if your a dino shooter fan, and want something different then pick it up used if possible. If not, its pretty easy to just pass up. If not for the lag it would be a better title, but even with a good story i doubt much else would evolve from it. -- Decent budget title, but wow what a lag fest!!

I am a fan of first person shooters, because I like the instant and constant action these games provide. This game is fun and entertaining. The story is short, but after playing through on normal mode, you can try again on hard mode with additional weapons. There is also a survival mode which is similar to horde, nazi zombies, firefight, etc. Having said that this game is not of the same caliber as the games which feature those modes. The graphics are a bit choppy, and not on par with todays 9+ rated games. This game is not a high budget blockbuster, but for the price ($40), I believe its worth it. The game could use a coop/online mode, especially for the survival portion. I bought the game and finished it, and would probably play the hard mode, and the survival mode a few times, so I rate the replay value as moderate. Overall I rate the game a 7.5, but the magazines would probably rate it a 6.5 or 7, based on the above mentioned defects. -- entertaining FPS

JURASSIC THE HUNTED is a short game but it's well designed and lots of fun. The 12 levels are well detailed, the dinosaurs look and sound great, and the shooting mechanics -- especially for a "low budget" game like this -- are terrific. This game probably had half the budget of TUROK but it's twice as satisfying because the game is actually fun to play.

Yes, it's too bad it's a short ride, with only the Survival mode keeping you going for repeat play -- but that said, I don't think I've ever played a better "budget" game. Kudos to Cauldron for this one, and hopefully a sequel will do an even better job with the engine they built here. -- The best "budget" game I've played

Ok, I just started this game a little bit ago and have been playing it for about 30 minutes. For the lack of any more information on it, I did want to let others' know what to think of the game. This is definitely not award winning acting, or award winning gaming at all, but it sure is fun for dinosaur lovers. Decent visuals, but nowhere near Uncharted 2 or some other games but I'm sure it didn't cost near what those were to make in money and timeless programmer hours. The FPS gameplay is simple run and gun dino hunting. The load times are a bit long, but I really don't care, I love to hunt the dinos. Story? WGAS. I sure don't. Leave the stories to Uncharted 2, Batman, Juarez and the like. No really good one here, but it does make it kind of cheesy fun the way they did it. I didn't expect much from this seemingly last minute release, but its a blast and the dinosaurs look good and its a bit of a challenge but not too hard for an old 41 year old gamer like me. I do only have a few minutes in and I'll update this if there is more later. Sure is better than Turok. (to me at least, many more dinosaurs and lots more dinosaur action)

Next day update. I don't write very many reviews, but this game seems to be getting such little attention I feel compelled to get info out there because I love FPS's and dinosaurs. I only played the JP games on Sega Genesis. Back to this game. If you are into "realism" and hard core graphics and great stories, give this game a pass. There are many graphical flaws and other low-budget game type of problems and mistakes. Slow loading times are a stand out annoyance, but I'll stick with my 5 star fun review and 4 star overall review. There are lots of guns to find and some magazine upgrades to find, lots of the same dinosaurs to kill and B-movie, or even C-movie acting and story telling. (if there really is a story) But this game should satisfy the dinosaur FPS fan. Its gotten a little more difficult at times but that is good and makes for a good challenge. The checkpoint times are done fairly well, but I have found myself re-doing some of the same mission kills after dying, so, just don't die. Well, some might want to wait until there is a larger price drop, but who knows when that will be. For the dino fan, it should be worth it and there is much more to come because it seems that I'm still early into the game. Hopefully it won't be too short.

Final edit: It didn't take long to beat this game and I'm not that good at games. I do hope that the developers really work at a sequel and putting a story together for the next one, if there is one. I think there is a huge market for something like this if its really done well. Like, instead of finding voice actors for minimum wage like this one, get some good ones. And, gameplay, gameplay and more gameplay. This one is ok but its so clearly a low budget game. Well, I took off one star and ended up with a 3 star and 4 stars for fun. -- Mindless and fun dinosaur hunting game
