Carnivores 2

released on Oct 31, 1999

Carnivores 2 is a first-person hunting game, in which the player's quarry is various species of dinosaur. A sequel to Carnivores, it expands on the original with new maps, new dinos, and new weapons, as well as improved audio and visuals. The game features 15 species of dinosaur (9 huntable), 6 weapons, 5 maps, and 6 equipment options to suit various styles of play. In a departure from the first game's ranking system, Carnivores 2 awards points for successful hunts based on equipment and species, with which the player may purchase higher-valued weapons and species for subsequent hunts. The game also features a trophy room, where the players most recent kills are displayed with recorded stats, and an observer mode, where players can explore each map and learn how each dinosaur behaves without fear. The game was originally developed by Action Forms, published by WizardWorks Software, and released in 1999 for Windows.

When you get your games at half priced books, this game is fire, but really its nothing to write home about. interesting concept considering how our society views lion hunting though.

Como niño obsesionado con los dinosaurios quede desprovisto de materia fecal jugando esto en el ordenador de mi padre, era uno de los juegos a los que mas disfrutaba jugar junto a jurassic park operation genesis, halo 1 o sonic adventure dx me trae muchisimos recuerdos de volver del colegio y jugar, recuerdo sobre todo una atmósfera densa y contemplativa con ritmo muy pausado y esos gráficos de finales de los noventa tan poligonales. El juego es un simulador de caza, aunque mi parte favorita era la de explorar el mapa y ver a los dinosaurios hacer cosas de dinosaurios, no sé que tal habrá envejecido pero le tengo mucho aprecio.

The Carnivores series (minus Cityscape, which is fun, but a different sort of game) has a very unique atmosphere that hasn't been replicated anywhere else. The simulation aspects immerse you in the gameplay, but they aren't excessive. The idea of hunting something that you have to kill before it kills you is exhilarating still, even though the game, on a technical level, is quite primitive 20+ years after it was released. For me, this is the type of game that excels in its simple idea, atmosphere, and presentation.
