Description: Welcome to Cretaceous Island, an experimental facility that was built with the sole purpose of bringing carnivorous dinosaurs back to life. With only a few weeks to go until the grand unveiling of the dinosaurs and the facility to investors and executives, all hell breaks loose. Due to a power outage and computer system malfunction, the dinosaurs have escaped from their enclosures and are wreaking havoc on the Island. Wanting to hide the news from the outside world, the executives of Cretaceous Island have ordered all of the workers who are stranded out in the field to restore the power and security systems on the island, even at the cost of their own lives.
Built exclusively for VR, Raptor: Cretaceous Island is a first person shooter survival game that lets you explore an island overrun by meat-eating dinosaurs. You will play the role of a variety of workers who happen to be stranded in different sections of the island following the power outage and computer system failure. Find and use weapons to survive and complete missions.
Review: While ‘Raptor: Cretaceous Island’ is not Jurassic Park it does take some inspiration from it. The story goes that you are dropped onto an island full of velociraptors and you need to survive while finishing a load of tasks. Well…to be honest, it is 99% shooting at Raptors, but there are some other elements thrown in. It looks OK I suppose, but that is this games biggest problem that everything it too simplistic, everything is so…meh! If you hot this in a sale it might be worth a look, but as a general rule the cheap you get this, the less you will be disappointed with it.
