Just finished playing the demo and my first impression is that I like it. I only played the first level, but it ran smooth on a TiBook 800.

Wow, it far exceed my expectation for a Pangea game. Very high-quality. The controls take a bit getting used to though.

Definitely thinking about buying this game

I was very, very impressed with it. Nice work, Pangea.

I like it. The controls could use some work though. The keyboard is too jerky, and the mouse is too slow.

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.

WOW that game is amazing in 3D with a good old pair of Red-Blue ones I found. Controls are VERY hard to get used to, mouse seems to speed up and slow down depending on the FPS.

Ooh! I trashed the game after it played choppily on my iMac g4, but I'll have to try it out at my comp arts lab. Dinos with guns are too cool to not like! (Why can't Pangea get this? We don't want Bugdom or Otto-Matics, we want Nanosaurs and Power Petes!)

Hmmm, I might have to give this game a try. Maybe I'll ended up liking it too and think about buying it when it's released.

I was very impressed with the performance on my 15" AlBook. Seemed pretty fun, although I think I might suck at playing it!

Tried Nanosaur 2 (the full game) with 32 bit option on at 1280 x1024, played well on a dual 2.0 G5 and a dual 2.4 G5+ (or whatever you want to call it). Didn't do too well with 16 bit option and 800 x 600 on an iMac G4/800 with 1 GB RAM. The 2 G5's had 4 GB RAM each. Processor use for both G5's was up to 80%. This is a great game, but a 3 GHz processor would help. Soon, soon...

Ran sweet on my iMac 1.25Ghz / GF FX 5200 combo. Was playing in 1152x720 full everything on. I might just have to buy it, I liked the controls personally. I wish the demo was longer. If I download the full version are there demo levels to play that are different then the small demo released?

Ran like a champ at 1600x1200/max settings on my DP1.8/Radeon 9800 Pro.
Unfortunately, I was not impressed by the game. The controls are atrocious.
Be happy.
