| Description:
So you've seen the film, and now want to engross yourself in the tale of Aladar and the other Dinosaurs. Well Ubisoft's Disney's Dinosaur tries to offer you just that, in what is unfortunately a watered down version of the movie experience. With 12 levels, interspersed with CGI footage from the movie, each level has a certain number of objectives that have to be completed before the player can progress in this role-playing style game. The levels, which are quite straightforward, usually involve finding an object and then getting it from A to B and it is therefore fair to say, that this game is squarely aimed at a younger generation. There are three controllable characters, to help you on your journey, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and each with the ability to increase their skills and strengths by defeating the local dinosaur population en route to achieving the set objectives. This role playing element of Disney's Dinosaur is one of the more interesting aspects of a game that lacks the imagination of the film. Couple this with a fiddly control system, and you end up with a game that is suited more to the younger gamer, than the gamer who thinks they are young at heart. --Michael Bartley
