Man is this a really, really (really!) flawed game, first impressions were downright chaotic, started on Normal but after seeing how the encounters were designed with common enemies like the raptors taking half of your damn HP (their lack of windup in their attacks didn't help either) decided to dial it to Easy, just so i could have a fighting chance. Awful camera angles and nonsensical platforming with barely sense of depth, lul story, one can see now why it's got the "stinky" reputation, but, just like with DMC2, i also can't deny i got some enjoyment out of it especially after that abhorrent start. Yes the game did start to grow later on since the jetpack provided an interesting approach to combat plus the WASP drones were fun to use (also serving as keys), biggest issue being you will be mostly shooting the dinos offscreen most of the time since, again, awful camera angles, which won't be doing any favours. Visually the game holds up, the cutscenes were fun to watch and the ost is good as well. Exploring the ship ended up being a fun endeavor though: changing the formation, which in turn affected the level layout was a neat inclusion. In addition, the elimination meter provided an interesting approach to exploration since it gave you an interesting choice to make: do i keep killing dinos for points or go to the save point and cash the meter for points? It was thrilling to go on long stretches without saving in order to maximize the elimination meter and get the most points (saved like 42 times lol, was afraid of messing up with my upgrades somewhere). So yeah, would i go around recommending this game? Well no, but i also wouldn't be totally against replaying it.
