“There's a lot of good to be had in Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter, especially for the price. That said, there's just a certain something lacking.” GamingBolt · 14 years ago
Reviewers generally praise the game's atmosphere and "suspenseful" hunting mechanics but criticize the visual quality and heavy grind.
“Stalking dinosaurs, and especially being stalked by them in return makes for a really fun experience overall.” GameFAQs · 10 years ago
While critics were harsh, some fans of the original PC series appreciate the game for what it is—a simple, budget-friendly hunting title.
: This is the most common complaint. You earn very little money per kill, while essential upgrades like sniper rifles or new hunting licenses are "miserly" and extremely expensive, forcing hours of repetitive grinding on the same maps.
: The game features only a handful of dinosaurs (initially just herbivores) and effectively three distinct islands, though different times of day (dusk, fog) are listed as separate "levels". Community Perspectives
