Dinosaur is an adventure game, and every time you play you find something new. This is a very fun game based on the movie Dinosaur. It is exciting to play this game because you don't know what you can do until you see it. In this game there are 14 really fun levels, and I am on 9!

Embark on a Prehistoric Adventure!

Another wonderful title from the folks at Disney Interactive. The Dinosaur Action Game combines outstanding graphics with voice talent from the film to provide a solid game experience. The ability to choose different protagonists greatly enhances the gameplay. I must admit that some of the game environments are a little dark (Toy Story 2 Action Game is more visually appealing), but if you're a fan of the film or of Disney Interactive games, this will be an excellent addition.

Not So Good

This game was frustrating. Most of the missions were hard. The one I`m on is mission 9. And it`s so hard! When I completed the maze in mission 8, I thought running from Carnotaurs was going to be easy, but boy, I was wrong! Knocking away those rocks while running from those Cheetahs was hard enougth, but when I cleared them all away (I did that only twice), I had to make Aladar go up a ramp, knock down a pillar, go down and go up the other ramp, and knock down the other pillar to block the Carnotaurs. How is that possible? Another really hard one was mission 6. Running against the clock, dodging asteroids, and getting rid of that Quetzocoatlus( good thing you can kill him in one screech with a power stone) was extremly tough, and nearly as hard as mission 9!

Another thing was the violence. Not much gore, but you did hack up those enemies until they are dead and sometimes all bloody. The dying was pretty realistic( the Champsosaurus suffocates when he dies), and that`s not a compliment. Next, it is not based on the movie much. There is no Bruton in it, and most of the missions were not in the movie, either. And the enemies (Champsosaurus? Dryptosaurus? Quetzocoatlus?) were DEFINITLY not in the movie. I`ve seen the movie, believe me. Oh, and it`s a big space hog. I mean, almost 150 MB hard disk space for the space saver???!!! And you need a 3-D accelerated video card, unless you want bad graphics! I play it on my dad`s power machine (it`s an ME) instead of my own computer!

One of the good missions were 4&5. You had to play either the next mission or the one you just completed, so I had to start a new game usually, and play 1,2 & 3 to get to 4&5. Sometimes, the enviroments and music is a bit unfriendly. Unless your very experienced with action games, I wouldn`t reccomend it to you.

Not that good

This game was very frustrating, because every time I entered a new mission, I got completly stumped. I ended up playing the previos mission instead, and that`s not very fun because I already know how to complete that mission.

I am currently on mission 9. I thought making Aladar running from Carnotaurs would be easy, but they got the best of me. Another hard mission was 6, running against the clock. I think what made mission 9 so tough is those rocks. When Aladar knocked them away, the Carnotaurs got him (picked him up and shook him). I got to the pillar part only twice, and that was even harder. Aladar had to go up, a ramp, knock down a pillar, and then go down and up the next ramp to block the Carnotaurs, and they got him again.

Another problem was the violence. There was alought of blood when fighting. A game I play at my school, called Nanosaur, didn`t have any blood or even bodies, just an explosion. It didn`t even show fighting, just dinosaurs jumping and bullets. Another thing about this game is that it wasn`t very much like the movie. Some of the missions weren`t in the movie. And most of the enemies weren`t in the movie either. The only ones were Veloceraptor, Oviraptor and Carnotaur.

The reason I gave it a average rating was when the missions aren`t frustrating, they are fun. My favorites are missions 4 & 5. They are quite entertaining. I tried to put it on my windows 98, but it was slow and the graphics were bad. So I use it on my dad`s ME.
