    Personally I think a review score of 50% is pretty harsh. I wonder if the reviewers played the game with a guncon?? I found this game enjoyable but not mind blowing. One must realize this game is quite outdated and in my opinion its a fun game but does have some annoyances. The game is relatively short, only 7 stages and each can be beat in less than 10 minutes however the stages arePersonally I think a review score of 50% is pretty harsh. I wonder if the reviewers played the game with a guncon?? I found this game enjoyable but not mind blowing. One must realize this game is quite outdated and in my opinion its a fun game but does have some annoyances. The game is relatively short, only 7 stages and each can be beat in less than 10 minutes however the stages are challenging enough and different from each other. The frustration in this game comes in repeating each level if you fail. It can get extremely boring retrying right back from the very start of the chapter. As well if you beat a level, replaying the game there is little challenge in figuring out how to get through the game again once you know what finally works. Apart from that the game is a light gun game and does a decent job being one. The theme is a little out there but the game works to do what it needs to do. There's nothing magical about the game but is is a decent game that in my opinion deserves a 7. Although the game is pretty easy to finish in a day the replay value is in trying to get higher and higher scores in each stage. I'm not much into replaying for better scores, but this is where one would need to find value in this game as overall that is it's old school design. Expand

    Too short, too easy, and too tedious. [Oct 2002]

    It's just difficult for the game to be fun enough to surmount the great, big, monstrous control problem the concept inherently carries.
  3. Though Dino Stalker features all the relevant gore and shocks of Capcom’s classic survival horror games (and is proud to say so) the slow gameplay, limited freedom and short lifespan puts the survival of Dino Stalker in doubt.
