Once you add the “oh shit” sightings and break-ins of the bigger dino threats, you’ve got quite the neat little package going here. You’ll find them suddenly tunnelling out of the ground and jumping all over you while special types of raptors are simultaneously screaming for more reinforcements to send things out of control. The way in which dinosaur hordes often break the silence and suddenly swarm you is brilliantly executed. The Left 4 Dead -like chaos and heart-pounding action is certainly Second Extinction ’s strongest suit. But all that doesn’t matter too much since the one thing you are actually here for anyway (dino-blasting action!) is plenty of fun on its own. Even the varying objectives themselves are for the most part quite generic and similar: go here, turn on this thing, find this thing, wait out this timer, etc, etc. I’ll keep it as reductive as that because that is more or less all there is to it. The concept here is simple: drop into a world zone, head for an objective and complete it amidst an onslaught of raptor swarms, bull-charging Triceratops and occasionally, of course, the king himself: the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Now making its way into Xbox’s Game Preview system, Systemic Reaction’s Second Extinction combines the group survival shooter franticness of Left 4 Dead with the dino-splicing action of Turok and the Jurassic Park films.īased on this description, don’t come into this expecting many new or ground-breaking elements, but plenty of chaotic fun is still to be had with Second Extinction ’s work-in-progress dino-blasting package. Life finds a way to swarm and overwhelm you with razor sharp teeth, acid spits and colossal kings of the jungle in the newly released early access title, Second Extinction.
