Being a fan of the original on the N64 was really looking forward to this… and was sadly disappointed

Thankfully I rented this game out, played it for about 3 hours and promptly took it back, and asked the video store guy if I could change it because it was so awful.

What's wrong with it? Just about everything. Visually it's pretty average considering the great looking games that have come out recently. They have used the 'unreal' engine but done nothing with it at all, simply using the technology to just scrape by.

Sounds are great, kinda.In 5.1 you can hear the enemy moving around behind you etc, until you stand still for a few seconds… and then realize there are always sounds of movement in tress, and bushes, but know one is there. You soon learn to forget what you hear, and just shoot what is in front of you.

Storyline was cool, I wanted to know where it was going, but couldn't go any further because of the biggest problem with this game, the AI. The AI is terrible, at times I would be getting shot from baddies 100 meters away, yet at other times I can be standing directly in front of a bad guy at 10 meters, and somehow he can't see me, and seems oblivious to me running around him as I ram my hunting knife through his mates skull. The dinosaurs are equally as stupid, sometimes just standing there while I fill them full of lead.

The AI, or lack there of, makes this game just stupid to play. The enemies are soooooo thick, that it looses any sense of immersion whatsoever, NEXT!.....
