PALGN: Dinosaur King Review

PALGN writes: "Dinosaur King is based on the Japanese anime of the same name, which follows the adventures of Max Taylor and Rex Owen, two boys who are members of the D-Team. The D-Team is an organisation that study and revive dinosaurs, as well as thwart the schemes of the evil Alpha Gang. The game has a lot to offer for fans: you can collect and train over 70 different dinosaurs, there are regular appearances by characters from the anime, and you can even battle other players online. Unfortunately, the experience is severely hampered by a lacklustre combat system and repetitive gameplay.

Dinosaur King starts off by revealing that development on the DinoShot has just been completed. The D-Team are particularly excited as the device is designed to revive dinosaurs from fossils, allowing them to be studied in ways never thought possible. As quickly as the celebration begins however, the Alpha Gang appear and swipe one of the DinoShots. Surprisingly, they summon a T-Rex and command it to destroy the area. Max and Rex are quick to retaliate, and summon their own dinosaurs to battle the ferocious beast. Through their combined efforts, the T-Rex is quickly defeated, but the Alpha Gang manages to escape. Max and Rex must now discover the Alpha Gang’s true intentions, and protect the world from their continuing threats."
