    Far and away the best of the modern Carnivores ports. While the PSN version lacked updates and some of the old gameplay features, Tatem's iOS version cuts little and adds lots. The most notable inclusions are a camera for taking HD screenshots, a new "horde mode" style mini-game that's surprisingly fun, and a dinosaur roster that's been nearly doubled since Carnivores 2, but fans of theFar and away the best of the modern Carnivores ports.

The most notable inclusions are a camera for taking HD screenshots, a new "horde mode" style mini-game that's surprisingly fun, and a dinosaur roster that's been nearly doubled since Carnivores 2, but fans of the series will pick up on many small, positive tweaks made to the game's flow and UI. The game even continues to receive updates now, years after its initial release, giving it the most consumer value of all the current games. It's only real downfall is that its controls are not as intuitive and precise as its PC ancestors, but they're certainly better than their PSP/PS3 contemporary and new players will likely adapt to them just fine. It's no wonder there are so many dinosaur hunting games popping up on mobile devices now... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and CDH Pro is well worth the praise.… Expand

    One of the best mobile gaming experiences you can have. It is ad-free (if you choose) and a one-time purchase. The game is quality, too.

    You can have a quick 'mobile-gaming-style' hunt by selecting your radar and seeing how many dinosaurs you can take down in a few minutes, or by playing the endurance gamemode 'survive'.

    Or, you can immerse yourself in the world of Carnivores: go into a hunt blind and track down your prey in a world filled with many different dinosaurs that each present a unique challenge; and sometimes a threat. Spend hours walking around the maps, tracking down the dinosaurs and hoping you don't get caught yourself.

    There is so much value to be had here, I cannot recommend it enough.    … Expand

    If you're looking for a deep, intelligent hunting sim, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter is ideal. The added bonus of hunting dinosaurs rather than conventional animals just makes it all the more intriguing a proposition.

    For some, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter may be a hard game to appreciate thanks to just how realistic the experience can feel, however this is without a doubt a must have for hunting enthusiasts and fans of open-ended titles.
