The story isn't that bad, but could have definitely been better. The "bosses" in the game were WAY to hard imo. The T-Rex just wouldn't die, and when that thing that came out of the water started throwing **** it was far to accurate.

The only thing that i REALLY enjoyed about the game was the knife. 95% of the time i was running around knifing dinosaur's and the other guys (w/e the hell they were).
Yeah the Knife, much like the chainsaw gun in GoW, was the highlight of the game. But there's only so many different moves that the character does with it until it starts to get boring.

Not worth buying, no. But possibly worth renting.

I enjoyed it. It's nothing you'll remember in a year or so's time, but it's still not terrible. The screen shakes when you get shot, which is good, and if you're shooting a machine gun or something, which is good, and that's about it. I hardly noticed the shaking to be fair, which is something I too was worried about after reading a review, but it's hardly an impairment. It's worth playing through just for the boss battle at the end, anyway. I'll remember how that boss bit it in a year or so's time. Aspirin, anyone?

Im not sure what you guys are talking about, I really enjoyed this game. I will give you that it did shake a lot, however this merely increased the games difficulty. It does get kinda difficult when you get a ways in, but if you get passed the part your stuck at then it will seem all the greater.

Aim assist is for panzies... having that in the game is enough to hate it in the first place.

pretty much every single game out there has aim assist built in to the game. whether you turn it on or not....it may not be much but every game has a little bit.

Oh really?

The Club? No aim assist.

Mass Effect? No aim assist.

Saints Row? No aim assist.

BioShock? No aim assist.

Godfather? No aim assist.

Gears of War? No aim assist.

I could keep listing games, if you'd like me to...

i heard the online play is pretty good, but the single player AI blows.

From playing the demo i got the impression that knifing Dinosaurs is kinda cool the first few times, then the cut scenes started to get a little boring and whats with only being able to stab the dinos in one specific place? I would have preferred stabbing them wherever I liked and a lot of times in the demo you will go to stab and nothing will happen because you didn't do it in the exact place the game wants you to.
