Walking With Dinosaurs - PC

Walking With Dinosaurs combines the massive capabilities of the computer game with the aims of a factual documentary. With vast and varied landscapes and terrains to explore, hundreds of creatures to observe and interact with in all sorts of activities, and some groundbreaking cinematic visuals and sound, this is a very special project indeed. The game will have a strong emphasis on re-playability, with animals behaving differently each time they are encountered, and the player being rewarded for thorough exploration and intelligent thought. And this will certainly be an experience the player will want to re-live...

Walking with Dinosaurs builds on the Explore Mode component of the Prototype and will result in a product which can be downloaded free form the Web onto a range of PC's, and enjoyed as an interactive documentary experience.
