Carnivores 2 - Gameplay

Gameplay

This game is similar to Carnivores but with some changes. At start of the game you before must register a hunter or continue with a saved hunter. The point of the game is similar to the previous video game: hunting dinosaurs to get trophies and accumulate credits. A new hunter is given 100 credits. The player uses credits to select his hunting area, which dinosaurs he will hunt and what weapon he wants to use. Each dinosaur, area, and weapon has its own cost, and the credits that the player has remaining determine what the player can and cannot bring on the hunt. When the player choose an item from the menu, other selections may become unavailable depending on his remaining credits. Available selections are highlighted in blue, selected items are yellow and unavailable items are gray. The player can easily have several dinosaurs to hunt, with several weapons selected at the same time as he advance in his hunting skills. As he hunt the selected dinosaurs, each successful kill will result in a number of credits added to his account. The player can kill more than one dinosaur per hunting expedition, allowing him to earn enough credits to move into more advanced areas with more expensive weapons and more dangerous dinosaurs. However, if the player is killed by a dinosaur, all credits accumulated on the specific hunt are forfeited. The player must be picked up by DinoHunt to keep the credits he earned. There are various methods of increasing or decreasing the credits per dinosaur. When the player kills or tranquilizes a dinosaur, he receive credits that are dependent on the type of dinosaur and on his selected equipment usage. For example, killing a dinosaur that was not selected in the menu will give only half of that dinosaur's total available credits. Tranquilizing rather than killing a dinosaur will increase player's credits per hunt by 25%. Also, using other items from the equipment list can also reduce credits received from the hunt. Radar, for example, will decrease by 30% the credits that the player receives on that particular hunt. First time hunters may wish to use the Observation Mode to familiarize themselves with dinosaur behaviour and different terrain.
