Arguably the best ?hunting simulator? ever made, Carnivores 2 is an excellent budget game that proves that not every hunting game is Deer Hunter clone.
PC Gameworld says it all about what makes this a FPS well worth a look: "Among other things, Carnivores 2 is a very good hunting simulator on the market. Why? Because it comes dangerously close to feeling like a pure FPS shooter at times. The idea is to hunt for dinosaurs on a Jurassic Park-type island. From a true gamers point of view it is much better to be hunting (or being hunted by) an eight ton Tyrannosaurus Rex than Bambi.You get your usual assortment of hunting weapons and gear. Pistols for the poor, crossbows for the skilled, and shotguns for the wise. The gameplay is what you would expect, except that you score points for each type of dinosaur you bag, and you then use up the points buying licenses to hunt certain species, and to "buy" your way to bigger weapons and more dangerous islands. This gives the game a touch more gameplay than expected, and it does help maintain your interest longer. You won't be playing this game by this time next year, of course, but it is still not bad. Graphically the game is surprisingly impressive. The outdoor 3D engine is smooth, even at higher resolutions, with decent lighting, varied terrain and foliage textures, and the overused sun flare to round things out. Following a blood trail up and over hills and through dense thickets of trees does give a real feeling of hunting. Various animals walk by (including slow fat ones who give you no points but are nice target practice), Pterodactyls fly around overhead, and you can even see the huge Brachiosaurus feeding itself on seaweed down by the shoreline. The prey acts predictably; it's fight for the carnivores and flee for the herbivores.
The sound is subdued but nice, and the 3D sound is downright impressive if you have support for it.
Overall the game supports Direct 3D, Glide, Direct Sound 3D, A3D and EAX. Not bad for a game under $20. As with all budget titles, the price is the best thing about Carnivores 2. But do not grimace if you find this one under the tree this Xmas. It's fun, fairly involving, and it looks and sounds almost as good as a game you would pay full price for.? Definitely a great and underrated game that all FPS fans should try. Two thumbs up!

Dino. Hunter. 3D
If any of y'all people are having issues when starting up the game, this one will specifically fix Heap Allocation error, basically go to the .exe location in file explorer, right click it and press properties, go to the compatability tab, enable compatability mode and select it on Windows 98/ME, Then open the app again, press yes when it asks for permission, and it will work properly. I recommend checking out the settings too, installing nGlide. Here are my favorite settings
Aggressivity: This is a slider for how much health a dinosaur will in general have, set it to the max if you wanna have a bad time, and set it to the bottom if you just wanna run around killing local wildlife
Senstivity; How easily the dinos will detect you, no questions.
Density: How much dinosaurs are going to spawn on the map.
View Range: Render Distance.
Measurement: US = Imperial, Metric = Meters, km, cm
I always love to set my graphics and audio settings to this, all the time
Video: 3dfx Glide, if not, Direct D3D. Software Renderer is trash, don't try to use it. Your eyes might run away.
Audio: Direct Sound 3D also works. Don't use software. If you can use Creative or Aureal, go ahead.
Fog: Fog.
3D Shadows: Considering how most of you probably play this on computers with RTX graphics cards, let alone graphics cards from the 2000s thats would easily run this, on.
Textures: High
Brightness: Maximum (My screen is dark on its own, depends on your choice, experiment with this for a while)
On the right side of the controls, its simply keymapping
Thank me later
Its better to find a game,mod on mod.io or something to play the game,running it in 98 visa for me or whatever works too with the games.
OK... what do I type into the register box, a serial code or some identifier? The game starts but I can't get past the log in screen. Running it on a Win11 25H2 PC. Game is fully patched to v1.1.
Carnivores 2 is my favorite PC game since 2015.
ITS game so good
Quiero jugar carnívores 2 🥳
Esto es para jugar carnívores legacy XD
after extraction and running setup.exe, nothing happens. please help, friend was able to download this on windows 11 as well and it booted right up, cant get mine to do anything
Compared to the carnivores 1 download this game works just fine. Got the game running with little issue and switching the compatibility mode to windows 98 in the applications properties gave me audio back. Unfortunately the screams of the dammed are still present when alt tabbing
, hola como se Descarga
Is this legit or does this carry a virus?
Get one eye shot from t-rex
How do I download on my tablet? So I can play it
ta re piola el juego recomendado si queres un juego medio viejito pero entretenido
Well, i was 10 when i played it. It scared me like hell. I agree about the atmosphere. It reminds me good old days with big pc monitors and mouses came with small grey ball inside.
One of the most atmospheric games ever without a doubt. Few games can match this.

Carnivores 2 es el juego más espeluznante de la serie de carnívoros

game works great on windows 10 however it would not work on an older version of it but when i updated it to version 21H2 the setup worked
no lo e probado es mejor jugar en windows xp se ve bueno ya lo e descargado en youtube pero no se ve los dinosaurios en el mapa espero que funcione

memz virus !!!! Don`t install.
I tried playing the game, and even after the patch, it kept crashing.
Change the compatability to WINDOWS 98/ME! Via properties on the .exe file.
How do I actually play this? I downloaded it but i dont know how to play it.
10/10 pretty cool! some audio bugs but thats all!
ITS TAKING SO LONG TO DOWNLOAD ANY TIPS?
How do I play carnivores 2. I downloaded it but I don't know how to set it up.
There should be an Android version for this .
Works on windows 10, but I only sometimes got sound.
the screenshots make it look almost like Trespasser, and I mean that in a good way.
Will have to try it out later.
