Jurassic: The Hunted

Also known as:  N/A

Developer: Cauldron Ltd.

Jurassic: The Hunted is…well, trash. If you look at the cover, it looks awful. Once you begin to play, it feels awful. It’s just an absolute mess all around. Basically, in Jurassic: The Hunted, you’re a guy who comes across as a complete jerk (all of the characters in this game are completely unlikable, to be honest) that winds up being pulled into some dimensional thing that dinosaurs have also been pulled into…so, naturally, you have to kill the dinosaurs all off. Jurassic” The Hunter is basically a mindless shooter…how it manages to feel dull when you’re blowing up giant reptiles is beyond me, but they managed to do it. Aside from simply shooting, out-of-place moments happen as well, like suddenly deciding that a pre-made, mini fortress is a nice place to make your way into and defend…and then when you exit, you’re suddenly transported to a new area with no rhyme or reason behind it. What’s more fun is when you’re not allowed to “leave” the fortress until the dinosaurs stop attacking…then a bug causes them to no longer attack, but since the game doesn’t recognize it, you’re stuck in a small little area with menacing music playing in the background while absolutely nothing happens. When I got to the second fortress to defend, the game froze and crashed the entire PS3. So, not only is the game dull and uneventful, but it’s buggier than an ant farm. I can deal with bugs and glitches as long as I have fun…but when the game already feels like a chore, the bugs and glitches only make me loathe the time spent playing it even more. Whoever made this is a big, fat jurassic…minus the jur and ic.
