Tatem Games and Action Forms have put together a fairly interesting 3D environment in which you can equip yourself with several weapons and go wander around and hunt. You’re given the option of also having tranquilizers or radar to assist you. But of course since it’s on the iPhone you’ve got to use the touch screen which can, at times in these sorts of games, be a problem.

The game offers two modes of play - hunt and survive. Survive is a standard survival game where waves of dinosaurs come at you and you have to blast them before they eat you.

Hunt is a bit more interesting. You start with 50 credits which allows you to purchase equipment and select a particular type of dinosaur you want to go hunt. Then when hunting, each dino you down nets you new credits. Accessories and weapons affect how many credits you receive with tranquilizers boosting it 25% and radar lowering it by 30%. If you kill dinosaurs not on your hunting ’license’ you’ll only get 50% of the credits possible. If you get munched by dinos on a hunt you forfeit any credits you made on it (because DinoHunt Corp had to come pick up your remains and reanimate you or something).

The game’s 3D environment is fairly good. It has five environments, 15 dinosaurs (both herbivore and carnivore, scored and non-scored), six weapons and four accessories (tranq, radar, cover scent and camouflage). It’s fairly intricate for an iPhone title. The game takes into account things like wind direction and scent as well as dinosaur calls to attract them to you.

On your first hunt you only have enough credits to get a pistol and so have to go after some smaller game. This is still ridiculously difficult at times because really, they’re dinosaurs and you have a pistol. Plus, you only have one clip, who goes hunting with only one clip of ammo? Let alone hunting DINOSAURS with only one clip...
