I got a chance to play it yesterday and enjoyed the first part which is 2d in 3D, kind of like an old school shooter. I got bored pretty quick once I was on land though. The editors are kind of dumb, much less sophisticated than I expected, and the wandering around does seem like your average mmorpg.
You just walk about looking for something to eat, have a couple of buttons you can press to get a reaction. Choose to be friendly to other creatures, roar which you can do once over a set time period to scatter enemies or attack, attack just means pressing a crosshair button to enter attack mode and mashing the mouse trying to get your monster to bite as fast as possible.
I got bored of walking around looking for skelletal pieces near nests where the other creatures hang out. There really isn't much to hold your interest there.
Maybe the later levels are more fun, they sound like they might be, but I was done with the game already and wouldn't play it again.
