The licenses for the dinos cost credits, with a minimum price of 10 credits and then you only net 5 credits for a kill if you’re using certain accessories. Using less accessories will net you more credits (all the effects are explained in the gam).
So then you have to make sure your shots count as you have only 16 and it might take two or three to bag a dino. Of course the majority of dinos that you will see, are either non-scoring or not on your hunt list. It’s like the game severely limits the exact ones you are hunting. Also if you forget what you’re hunting, there’s nothing that tells you what it is unless you leave the hunt and return.
The carnivores will sneak up on you and munch you quicker than you can respond. They do warn you with a growl, just before the pounce upon you. It’s hard to make them out from the other harmless dinos and they often show up out of nowhere and end your hunt. So far I have been far from successful in my hunting and really, it’s bothersome. I can’t say that I find this game highly enjoyable. Frankly, it just feels more like work than it does like entertainment. Plus, the limitations placed on you like one clip of ammo, just seem silly.
Now that’s not to say it’s a bad game. I’m sure there are many people who would enjoy the tediousness
of stalking about, scoping out every single animal you see to determine if you should shoot it or not with the ever-present danger of being eaten without enough warning to defend yourself. Once chomp from a carnivore and you’re done for.
The graphics are decent but at times look extremely poor and blocky, especially when you get right up next to trees and shrubs. But that’s to be expected since it’s the iPhone and not a high-powered PC. The sounds are quite good as is the soundtrack. It’s hard to say how accurate they are but they certainly sound like dinosaurs to me.
Overall, the game is mostly interesting and somewhat entertaining. I’m not so keen on it personally but I think it’s just my gaming style and nothing to do with the game. However, you might want to check out the Lite version of the game before diving in and purchasing the full thing.
