NOT ONLY FOR THE YOUNG DINO HUNTERS!

This game is rated for ages 8 and over but, as a 55-year-old woman, I am well over the target market age and I can't stop playing this game, it is so much FUN! If you want to forget about something, you certainly will while you are playing or thinking about how to work yourself around the rather sophisticated puzzles needed to "capture your dinosaurs". The graphics are so realistic that I feel I am actually in the game and sometimes I find myself proud of conquering my life-long fears of height, water, and climbing, (not to mention the ferocious dinosaurs)! Quite a challenge to the mind and exciting to the soul. Now, if I can only get past that
T-Rex . . .

Dino-rrific!

I came upon this game quite by accident, it was on sale...in a department store. Being an adult and an avid Juassic Park fan I figured I had nothing to lose and maybe just maybe it would be fun. I put it in my computer and my excitment at seeing the Jurassic logo come on was quickly daunted when I heard the singers singing "Dino Defender!" I think remember saying something like "Oh Gawd!" But I decided to give it a shot any way and was soon in the "training center" learning the moves for the actual game. I thought it was nice how it showed you to move yourself in different situations. Good training for you to move quickly later on in the game when you have to. The game has lots of action and excitement. I was really suprised and pleased. You have to go around the island and search out all the power boxes and turn them on, find your supplies, all the while trying not to be lunch for a T-Rex, raptors, Spinosarus etc... Some of the situations take LOTS of skill and plotting. Often times I was running scared trying to leap, climb up, get down open my arsenol and throw it at the dinosaur before I got eaten. I am suprised that kids can move up to the different levels as I said before some situations take lots of skill and plotting. I was sad to see when I reached the last level and saved the Park. It was a lot of fun and I had looked forward to playing it each evening after work. I highly recommend this game for everyone. OH! don't forget to Save often while playing this one!

A good buy

This game is pretty fun. I don't know why some people complain that it is too hard. I beat it several times. You just have to be the kind of person who doesn't get too discouraged and gives up too easily. I'll admit some of my nephews and nieces can't beat it, so I think maybe it should be for ages 10 and up. But I got this game when I was like 12 and I had a lot of fun. I'm now 16 and I still like it. The graphics are decent, the strategy is cool, the only thing I don't like about it is it's like a Super Mario game. You only view from the side. You can't move the camera in a 360 to view all of your three-dimensional world. But all in all, a fun, addictive game. I think I'll go play it now!

This game is geared for the younger audiance, but its really fun for me too. I'm actually quite chalenged by it, I dont know how a younger kid could figure out the puzzles in this game.

The gameplay is fast paced, the graphics are excelent, and teh dinosaurs are cool. My only complaint is that this game lacks demention. You can only move left or right, or climb up and down, and this really limits the game, and probobly takes away from the replay value.

I really think this game is kinda hard, ...

Challenging, action packed,fun for both kids and teens!

I got Dino Defender a few years ago and I love this game. The scenario is about a hurricane that struck the island and destroyed all the power on the island. So your job is to restore the power to the island by finding circut breakers and turning them on. you first go through a training level to learn all the moves. After that, you are dropped off onto the island. Seconds after being dropped off, there are compys following you. Also there is a raven with hungry raptors down in it. You'll have to tranquilize them to get to the circut breaker. once you've turned it on you want to get to level two. (By the way there are two circut breakers, so make sure you've turned both of them on.) To get to level two, you have to swim to the other side of the island, then start swimming underwater, to an underground cavern. once inside, you'll find the third, and final circut breaker. You have to turn it on, and then it will open the gate to level two. Once in level two, you have to climb stalagtights (sta-lag-tights) (which will only hold you for one second!) then when you reach the first circut breaker it lets a elevator down. WHICH HAS A RAPTOR IN IT!! You have to run all the way back to your perch you just came from and tranquilize it. after that you use the elevator to get around to different places. In level two there's falling rocks, hungry raptors, and stegosaurs you have to dodge. In level three, you have to dodge and hide from pteridons and dodge more falling rocks, and dodge baby pteridons and dodge a T-rex! In level four, you have to run from a T-rex, jump onto Braceosaurs to get across from tree-to-tree and dodge a Spinosaurus and more raptors and T-rex's! in level five, the most heart pounding level, you have to go through an obstical course in a T-rex inclosure and get out before the one minute is over! Then you have to dodge raptors and hot steam underground and then, finally you get out of underground, only to walk out into a Spinosaurus inclosure!!! Is even harder to beat and you have only two minutes to get out! It took me a while to master this part, but it is still very hard! After you get out, the Spinosaurus chases you into the museum and you have to knock him out by dropping dinosaur skeletons on him! After you drop all there is to drop on him, the game is over, and you win dino cards to trade. This game is really fun and is really challenging and you will really injoy it. If you buy this game, your making a good choice!

We gave this to our 8 year old son for Christmas, because he loves Jurassic Park things. He has played it almost every day since. It is by far his favorite computer game. There's not a lot of educational value, but it's not scary or too violent, and it is just challenging enough for him without being too hard.

The best game in the world.

My 6 year old son has played this game constantly for the last month. Despite the old graphics he loves it. I have even found the game addicting from time to time.

This game is horrible, I bought it for my son, he can't play it, I can't play it, his cousins can't play it. All we got was frustration and pretty bad graphics. Avoid this game at all costs,
Jurassic park Genesis is a 1000 times better
