Carnivores Dinosaur Hunter is a port of Carnivores 2 developed by Tatem Games for iOS, Android, and Microsoft Windows and by Beatshapers for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3. It is the fifth installment in the Carnivores series.
The gameplay follows the same format as the original games: the player chooses a location to hunt in, one or more animals to hunt, and one or more weapons to hunt with; time of day can also be changed and one or more accessories can be used as well. It has done very well with reviewers, receiving high scores among various gaming sites. Although fundamentally the same as Carnivores 2, Dinosaur Hunter features content not found in the original game.
Having essentially the same storyline as Carnivores 2 and the rest of the games in the series, Dinosaur Hunter allows the player to choose from a variety of locations, an assortment of weapons and up to 18 species of dinosaurs to hunt. Several aspects have been updated and improved from its PC counterpart, such as dinosaur skins and the inclusion of maps not available on the original game. Another key change was the addition of Pachycephalosaurus, originally included in the first Carnivores game released in 1998 later replaced by Ankylosaurus in its sequel. A few other gameplay features were borrowed from Carnivores Ice Age and its mobile port such as a supply ship and a camera.
Different species of dinosaur are featured in the game, ranging from all three periods in the Mesozoic era. Note that many of the dinosaurs portrayed in game bear no resemblance to their real-life counterparts, due in part to the fact that many of the dinosaurs were from the original games. These original dinosaurs resemble vintage dinosaur restorations. Many of the new dinosaurs are much more accurate, but some still lack the proper amount of plumage that they should be restored with. The following is a list of dinosaurs the player is allowed to hunt, from lowest to highest price:
