Review from someone who's actually played the game

I've actually played this game--unlike some of the other reviewers here :-( and I think it's great. The scanner is cool and lets you play the game even when you're away from the computer. You can scan almost any barcode and get special powers. I love going into grocery stores with my scanner and just scanning everything in sight! Even boring things like flour and toothpaste can have very strong powers attached to them. You have to experiment to find the really powerful stuff and that's part of the fun.
The graphics are really great and they're much better than graphics in most kids games. The story is interesting and the levels are fun without being impossible to get through. The battles are the best part. These dinosaurs really know how to fight. And even when you beat a bad guy, he doesn't die, he just slinks away. That part is so funny to watch!
There's supposed to be some super-powers hidden in different barcodes but I haven't found one yet. I am checking in with their website every few days for updates.

ScanCommand is 2x the fun -- scanning & battling are cool!

WOW! This game is dino-cool! The graphics and battles scenes are fun. You get to be in control of your dino as he fights Spinos, a T-Rex and other types. It's nice to finally see a game with no blood -- just super jabs, tail wacks, and body slams. But the best part is the scanning. That thing is cool! I went with my mom to the market and started scanning barcodes to see what super-powers I'd get. Geez, it's amazing how many barcodes are out there. I downloaded the super-powers from my scanner to my computer and found some super special powers. I just wish I had more time to play this game... it's sooo amazing.

The Best Game on the Planet

This is the perfect game for people that like going to grocery stores and wanting some entertainment. This game has best kind of gameplay, graphics, sound, and action ever!! Scan bar codes with special dinosaur techniches like a t-rex super roar or an ultra tail whip, etc... Finally a game with action but no blood. The dinos don't even die when they lose a battle!!! They slump away with a sad face! I think that scan command is the best game on the planet!!!!

I just got this game and I can't stop playing. The scanner looks like a cell phone (kinda cool). I take it with me everywhere and scan stuff. Some barcodes have super powers so it's like a scavenger hunt to find the best ones. The dinosaur battles are pretty intense. I hope all my friends get the game because you can trade powers from one scanner to another.

This game is absolutely amazing!!!

For all my computer gaming years, I've been looking for a game just like this one! For any kids looking to buy a game like this, take it from me: GET THIS GAME NOW. The graphics are great, the battles aren't all bloody, which I enjoy, and the plot is really cool. Basically, you are a dino agent, and you're on a mission to Isla Sorna to save some kids who accidently stumble upon it. But then, you discover a British scientist, Dr. Corts, is using different DNA to create a team of super-dinosaurs in her plot to take over the world. Using a scanner that scans barcodes, you pump up a team of dinos that includes Spino, Trex, Anky, Tricera, Raptor, and Stego. Like I said before, this game is fabulous. Buy it!!!

Jurrasic park but better

I think Scan Command is great! Scan Command is greater than I thought it was. I thought That I was suppose to scan bar codes for dinosaurs but now I know that I`m suppose to scan bar codes for DNA. Scan Command is one of my favorite Jurassic Park games.

A++

I think Jurassic Park: scan-command is awesome because you can scan barcodes and download new dinosaur attacks! It's as if I could control a velociraptor or whatever. I think it deserves an A++!

Secret DNA found in obscure places!

this is a groovy game! scanning the different products is especially fun. I am trying to get more of my friends to get one so we can trade and fight our creations. I have found that scanning my black lab somehow provides the secret DNA needed for the most successful fighters! The game also provides an excellent opportunity for me to buy candy or any other bar code items! i feel this contributes directly to our economy and it makes me feel like superman to get involved with US commerce. This game has dual functions and should be rewarded for it's creativity, action involvement and interaction with other players!

Wow, surprisingly good

I didn't expect much when I bought this game, I thought it's just another game that tried to cash in from the Jurassic Park brand new. I have played many Jurassic Park games before for the other game systems, but none of them came close to this one in terms of gameplay and creativity. Scanning bar-code is a very neat idea, it's fun for me even though I'm not a kid anymore. My younger cousin has tried it too, and he's hooked with this game now, it's actually a very fun game to play. You should give this game a try even if you're not a dinosaur fan, the game concept is so creative that I'm surprised to it.
