Carnivores is a fun hunting experience, easy to navigate, full of tension, and graphically satisfying without being overly graphic.

Very fun! A great idea neatly done...great value.

Carnivores is a really fun game to play. The interface is quite simple, just like a first person shooter, but the object is to hunt dinosaurs. You choose a weapon (limited to X-bow, shotgun, or rifle), a hunting terrain, and a dinosaur species to hunt. You have options like tranquilizers (for you PETA folks), radar, scent mask, and camouflage, but these lower your score. As you progress in skill, you get to hunt more ferrocious beasts, until as an expert you can hunt T-Rex. The first time I used my game call on the Tyranosaurus, I about fell out of my chair! The game can be set at varying degrees of difficulty. If you set the choice to AGGRESSIVE DINOSAURS and HIGH SENSITIVTY, you are just begging to wind up in T-Rex's jaws. Also, while you are hunting stegosaurus, it is not uncommon for an Alosaurus to stalk you. The sounds are well done and set an eerie, lonely atmosphere. The graphics are good, so you can run it on a low-end Pentium. Don't expect Quake 2 or the like....this is a simple game with basic graphics, but is one heck of a lot of fun. There is no gore here, the violence is not graphic.

Dropped on Jurasic Park......... Cool.

I got this game, because I was over my Mom's house for the holidays. I figured there was going to be some down-time, and she had a PC with NO games. This was great for going in and taking down some small Dinosaurs for a quick fix. Then (after getting my Stepdad, and brother hooked), we would go on a much more aggressive hunt, like after Raptors. Watch the wind. Other animals are on the island, and not all of them are plant eaters. Everything moved smooth, and you can choose how dense you want the foliage, and how sensitive you want the animals to sight, sound, and smell. I wish the directions were more then just a few pages, though. I never got to the BIG carnivores, but it seemed that there should be more interaction with the dinosaurs amongst themselves. (i.e.. getting eaten and all that). All and all a very fun game.

Dont get me wrong i like a lot of hunting games but this 1 captures it in a ceratin way. Now u the hunter must watch ur back. Stalk and be stalked through dense fogs and mountains terain in search for the dinasour of a life time or the jaws of a T-REX. this game has awsome 3D ENVIRONMENTS. great sound and the animal AI is pretty good. I'd recomend this to anyone. But id wait for Carnivores 2. it should have all this game has and more.

More, more, more!

Easily the best of all the PC hunting games that have been released since the smash-hit DEER HUNTER, CARNIVORES is top notch, even for a "value title." Excellent, 3D-accelerated graphics combine with atmospheric stereo sound to create a taut and suspenseful first-person hunting experience. The animal AI is sophisticated enough to give even the most jaded PC hunter a jump or two (or more) and, overall, gameplay is better here than in similar games at twice the price.

If there are any flaws, they have to do with the game's depth. A small selection of firearms and equipment, combined with the game's focus solely on the "stalk and kill" variety of scenarios, guarantees CARNIVORES' shine will dim quickly, which is unfortunate, as multiplayer or "capture the flag" modes would have added months to the game's lifespan.

Still, there's no better value for the price. Dinosaurs, high-powered weapons and the chance of being a T-Rex snack makes for big fun, whether the hunting game genre is your thing, or not.

This game is the bomb. it has good graphics, extremely realistic terrain. It is a wonderful game if you get bored with the normal hunting games. No blood in the game, but it isn't needed to keep you at the edge of your seat when hunting the big meat-eaters.

Great

If you don't mind JP violence like raptor eating you alive, you won't mind carnivores. Good graphics, good Sound affects, and lots of fun. I think however it is to hard to shoot the dinosaurs, because the either see,smell,hear,or eat you first even with the special como stuff you can get at the beginig.
Get it if you like to hunt dinos.

Great Game!

I you like hunting games, you'll love this. The only thing i don't like is that it's confusing. When you look in the options thing, the way to control the game's controls is confusing. But after a while, it should be ok for you.
