The whole time while playing this game, I kept waiting for it to get good...and it never really did.

My # 1 pet peeve with this game is the lack of ammo and high impact weapons that are given to you to fight the dinosaurs! Seriously, you get more tranquilizers than ammo for the few guns that you had. And the knife you are given is pointless!!!! C'mon Capcom...maybe against rotting human flesh but not against hard reptilian hide! The knife does darn near zero damage to the dinos and you're likely to get yourself killed in the process of using it against them. I'm sorry but this on its own just made this a borefest. Then to make matters worse, I felt as if there was more puzzle solving in this game than fighting dinosaurs!

My breakdown:

What's Good:

- The graphics for its time
- The dinosaurs are realistic and a bit on the scary side

What's Not-So-Good:

- The variety of weapons you can use against the dinosaurs
- I'm not a huge fan of the Resident Evil control scheme

What's Bad:

- The lack of ammo to fight the dinosaurs. It really causes you to be conservative about using your weapons in general.

- The existance of the knife as a weapon

- Too many puzzles!!!

In all, I don't like having a gun put in my hands and having my experience with it severly limited...especially when fighting an enemy that REQUIRES the use of it to be taken down! This game had the potential to be so much better but in the end becomes more a chore to finish.
