Description official descriptions

Another planet has been discovered, populated with prehistoric dinosaurs. You embark on the hunt of a lifetime, trudging through the eerie landscape that strangly resembles Earth's. Suddenly trees come crashing down around you - someone, no something immense is trampling your way. Then you see it -- your ultimate dream and deepest nightmare in the flesh - the T-Rex! Ready...aim...fire...oh no, your shot missed! There's no time to take shot again. You run but realize it's too late...the hunter has become the hunted.

"A great combination of action, 3d, weapons and dinosaurs"

The Good
The graphics is good, theres a lot of action and equipment, and of course I like dinosaurs enough to like this game(I also like the option of sending the dinosaurs to beds instead of them).

The Bad
There are not enough areas to hunt in, not enough types of plants and not enough dinosaur species.

The Bottom Line
This is a great game, and you should go to the stores and get it before it becomes into extincted species(if you want the two dinosaurs that aren't exist in Carnivores 2, or if you want to know about Carnivores 2's origins)

A hunting game that turned back the clock

The Good
This game was the first hunting game to have the hunter become the hunted. The dinosaurs are pretty neat, in having certain weak points. It also creates some suspense when hearing heavy footsteps that get louder, and louder until it's too late. Definitely a classic!

The Bad
The graphics aren't that great, but it is an old game. There is also that allosaurus that stalks the area and gets you at the worst possible moment (even when you aren't hunting him). Even though some weak points are okay, some (like T-rex's) are bogus. And some of the plant-eaters like stegosaurus and pachycephelosaurus that had defenses, don't attack in this game.

The Bottom Line
Carnivores was a great game that started a great series. Definitely worth playing. And is just an instant classic!
