But do not grimace if you find this one under the tree this Xmas. As with all budget titles, the price is the best thing about Carnivores 2. Overall the game supports Direct 3D, Glide, Direct Sound 3D, A3D and EAX. The sound is subdued but nice, and the 3D sound is downright impressive if you have support for it. The prey acts predictably it's fight for the carnivores and flee for the herbivores.

Various animals walk by (including slow fat ones who give you no points but are nice target practice), Pterodactyls fly around overhead, and you can even see the huge Brachiosaurus feeding itself on seaweed down by the shoreline. Following a blood trail up and over hills and through dense thickets of trees does give a real feeling of hunting. The outdoor 3D engine is smooth, even at higher resolutions, with decent lighting, varied terrain and foliage textures, and the overused sun flare to round things out.

Graphically the game is surprisingly impressive. You won't be playing this game by this time next year, of course, but it is still not bad. This gives the game a touch more gameplay than expected, and it does help maintain your interest longer. The gameplay is what you would expect, except that you score points for each type of dinosaur you bag, and you then use up the points buying licenses to hunt certain species, and to 'buy' your way to bigger weapons and more dangerous islands. Pistols for the poor, crossbows for the skilled, and shotguns for the wise. From a true gamers point of view it is much better to be hunting (or being hunted by) an eight ton Tyrannosaurus Rex than Bambi.You get your usual assortment of hunting weapons and gear. The idea is to hunt for dinosaurs on a Jurassic Park-type island. Why? Because it comes dangerously close to feeling like a pure FPS shooter at times. PC Gameworld says it all about what makes this a FPS well worth a look: 'Among other things, Carnivores 2 is a very good hunting simulator on the market. Arguably the best ?hunting simulator? ever made, Carnivores 2 is an excellent budget game that proves that not every hunting game is Deer Hunter clone.
