The girl in the video reminds me of those dinolfos enemy monsters in Dodongo's Cavern in Ocarina of Time. The ones that always yap before they jump at you.
PREDICTION: The humans are DINOSAURS IN DISGUISE! omg!
The game is beyond campy, which -- at least for me -- is its biggest strength. Does the game have problems, including everything from poor (but hilarious) voice acting, a crazy story, slight control and aiming issues, etc.? Totally. But it's pretty fun to play, especially if you have someone there with you to pass the controller to (dino jokes never get old).
Still, it's $39.99. So despite it being a "budget title," you're still talking about skipping four Chipotle meals or a cell phone payment. Or whatever you can do with $40 these days. So I guess what I'm saying is, it's totally worth playing, but whether it's worth buying depends on your financial situation/how much GameStop store credit you have lying around.
There is no sarcasm in my voice as I say this: Jurassic the Hunted is one of my favorite games of the year. Right up there with Shadow Complex, Uncharted 2, ODST, Forza 3, and the rest. It has this amazing campy but well-made feel that reminds me in some ways of Earth Defense Force on 360. Try the survival mode; so much fun.
Also, punching raptors in the face. And SCORPIONS.
i got this game the same day as modern warfare 2. played until the guy says"what the hell is that?" when it's CLEARLY a DINOSAUR!! the dude is from the future, or at least, the present, everyone knows what dinosaurs look like. i thought that was a clear sign that the game would SUCK, so i shut it off. but after seeing this.. i'm gonna give it another shot. FAIR and BALANCED just like fox news.

However, is it any good? Will I get frustrated when playing it?
