Tokyo Jungle Review

I was very excited to buy this when i saw it on the playstation network, a game where you can be an animal and you have to hunt and watch out for predators and mate and do everything!!!!! Yeah!
......No, it's rubbish.
What a waste of a tenner. The concept is great and they ave a fantastic idea, but it plays so fast and its so difficult that you cannot enjoy it without getting bored of losing all the time after surviving for years and years. 
You basically start off as a deer or a pomeranian, very random i know. 
You have a health bar and hunger bar in the top left hand corner which you have to constantly fill but watch out for predators at the same time. This would be great IF the hunger bar didn't run out every 30seconds. You have to hunt constantly and if you don't your health bar decreases ...then you die. Also you have to watch out for your toxic bar which randomly posions you for no reason when your in an area....then you die. If you don't watch out for predators whilst constantly running around trying to hunt and find a mate at the same time.....you die. Basically you die a lot and this would be ok if it had a save feature. WHICH IT DOES NOT. Every time you die no matter how far you've got, you have to start from the beginning. How annoying is that. 
Here's a video of the gameplay to show you what i'm talking about - 


As you can see the guy playing this died from starvation straight away and if you noticed he was running around looking for animals for ages, this happens all the time. They seem to disappear and you die because you actually can't find something to eat in time. 

It's a fantastic idea and i'm gonna give it more goes and see if i can get better or i'm missing something but at the moment it's just too fast gameplay, way too fast.
