Did the fact that the Turok series moved away from its "dinosaur hunting" theme disappoint you? Well if so, does Activision have the game for you.
It's called Jurassic: The Hunted and it's being released for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 on November 3. Like Turok, the game is a first person shooter where one of the world's great hunters goes mano a dino with wave after wave of the terrible lizards. Also, the Bermuda Triangle is involved somehow (here's hoping aliens turn up as well):
Jurassic: The Hunted is an epic shooter set on a dark, mysterious island lost in time. Players assume the role of weapons and survival expert Craig Dylan, who has been hired to protect a research team studying the strange temporal energy of the island. Protection quickly becomes a fight for survival as Dylan is pulled back in time through the Bermuda Triangle and finds himself facing the most terrifying creatures in the history of the planet.
Combat encounters include “arena” style fights, fortification sieges, survival modes and unforgettable boss battles. Adrenaline bursts give you an edge – this cinematic gameplay feature allows the player to visualize and then target an opponent’s weak points in slow motion. Jurassic: The Hunted promises hours of dino-survivalist entertainment at its finest.
Considering the fact that the game is being released in less than three weeks, it should be unsurprising Jurassic: The Hunted is being pushed as a budget game ($30 on PS2, $40 on PS3/Wii/Xbox 360). Further proof can be found in the game's trailer:
Bargain bin title or not, hunting dinosaurs can always be counted on for at least a few thrills. We'll have more soon.
