| Wow. That single word can sum up my reaction to this game. It's not a good wow, though. Nope. It wasn't a "Wow, this game where I color dinosaurs is dino-mite!" kind of wow. It was more like a "Wow. I wish this game was called 'Load A Gun' so I can learn how to shoot myself." kind of wow.
True, this game was made with little children in mind, so it's not going to be a masterpiece...But I don't even think a toddler could stand more than five minutes playing this game before deciding that they'd rather go stick their face in a fan. I suppose before I continue to talk about how bad it is, I should tell you about the gameplay... |

...SURPRISE!! There is no gameplay here. Select a dinosaur, color it by pressing a single button and watching the computer fill it in, then take a step back and admire the abomination that you had just wasted precious minutes of your life making...And you can't save it, either. If you're actually proud of the work that you suggested the computer to do, it'll be lost forever once you turn that system off. It's a shame the cartridge itself doesn't share the same fate.
That being said, there's loads of strategy involved in coloring your dinosaur...Like selecting a color and deciding where to place it. Or, if you want to really get crazy, press the Select button during the gameplay to change the colors and make a bizarro dinosaur! Isn't that neat?! Isn't that just the greatest thing ever?! Nope. |
| The game does do one thing right, however, that prevents it from being a complete and total failure; it makes you hate dinosaurs by association. It makes you happy that the giant lizards are extinct and no longer roaming the earth. That's a good thing, too. If the dinosaurs were still alive today, they'd eat us and we'd be dead. However, on the flip side, when you're dead, you'll never have to worry about playing this horrible game.
So, here's the scoop: Don't play this game. Don't let your children play this game. If you want to keep your kids occupied, get them a dinosaur coloring book and some crayons. Let them color in the dinosaurs with as many colors as they want instead of the limited selection in this game (an no, Virgin Interactive, I don't count stripes and/or polka dots as colors) and let them color outside the lines if they want. Let them have fun...'Cause this game won't provide it. - Ape |
