Worldwide video game developer and publisher Metro3D, Inc. today announced a new colossal title to its 2003 line-up, Dinosaur Hunting exclusively for the Xbox video game console. Developed by Microsoft Game Studios Japan, Dinosaur Hunting is scheduled for release this November 7, 2003.
“Dinosaur Hunting is a giant-size action adventure, which brings pre-historic dinosaurs into the 21st Century,” said Joseph Morici, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Metro3D. “Mixing reality with a bit of fantasy, Dinosaur Hunting is a solid action adventure title sure to be popular this upcoming holiday season.”
Dinosaur Hunting takes place in 1910, when the British Geologist Norton Klast discovered dinosaurs living on the highlands of Guiana in the Amazon interior. Due to a tectonic shift, the highlands became enclosed by towering cliffs which cut the dinosaurs off from the rest of the world. Defying fate, the dinosaurs have survived for thousands of years, but now are facing extinction. The dinosaurs must be transported to a new location at all costs.
 
Lord Andrew, using his personal funds to create the Ark Foundation, created an international team of hunters and scientists from England, France, Canada, and the United States. They are ready to begin the largest rescue operation in human history. Lord Andrew sent them to the Guiana Highlands to investigate. In these hostile highlands, Earth’s final frontier, the largest hunt in the history of mankind is about to begin.
Dinosaur Hunting features four teams, each with their own unique characters. Equipped with a variety of weapons, including a handgun, shotgun or rifle, players shoot a variety of dinosaur targets, which they must hunt down and tranquilize to save the species. Players explore the Guiana Highlands as they gather knowledge about the dinosaurs and their environments, including theories about dinosaur history. Combining elements of reality and fantasy, Dinosaur Hunting combines educational pre-historic dinosaur history, unique dinosaur characters and 3-dimensional character design.

XBOX365 Says
Metro3D loves the Xbox, and we love them because they love the Xbox. I feel a lot of love in the room. Only on Xbox. And yes, this is the same game that Microsoft was set to publish earlier this year.

Sounds a bit too much like A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury.

this game can be summerized by one word: G A Y. I want to kill them, eat them and rape their babies, not trap them and save them.

Found this at another game site:
06-OCT-03
Metro3D announced today that it will publish Dinosaur Hunting for the Xbox. Developed by Microsoft Game Studios Japan, Dinosaur Hunting is an action adventure game where you tranquilize and capture dinosaurs to preserve them from extinction. Based on Conan Doyle’s Lost World novel, the game takes place in 1910, with a British Geologist Norton Klast discovering dinosaurs on the highlands of Guiana in the Amazon. Due to a tectonic shift, the highlands were cut off from the rest of the world by towering cliffs and mountains. Although the dinosaurs survived for thousands of years, they now face extinction, and need to be transported safely to a new location. As a hunter, you will track dinosaurs by looking for footprints, carcasses and droppings, and concoct tranquilizers for different dinosaurs. Although capturing is your main focus, you will still have a variety of guns like rifles, shotguns and sniper rifles to do away with uncooperative dinosaurs.
The game is scheduled to be released on November 7, 2003.
