Suffice it to say, the science fiction-based story isn't a big factor in the game but it does revolve around the discovery of a new Earth-like planet with atmospheric conditions suitable for human habitat. Even so, the designers set the stage for the hunting action by creating a plausible and interesting back story to allow you to suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy the hunt. Make no mistake, though, Carnivores is pure simulation and doesn't pretend to be an action title. I find it amazing that this game, with its prehistoric prey, is quite possibly the best of the genre and I don't say that lightly, considering I've played most of the "normal" hunting games based here on Earth. The heavy irony is that the hunt is for creatures that no longer exist and, in fact, features encounters of the dinosaur kind. The release of Carnivores into the field nicely meets that criteria. With the vast proliferation of hunting games to hit store shelves in the latter part of the 1990s, it was inevitable that somewhere down the line one of them would break free of the clone-mold and offer an interesting and realistic approach.
