5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend this game for kids, October 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Jurassic Park: Dinosaur Battles (CD-ROM)

I am basing my positive review of this game Dinosaur Battles on the following: 1) I am a parent of a 9-year old boy who loves dinosaurs 2) I want him to play games that are fun for him yet don't contain violent content or inappropriate situations. With regard to both of the above, Dinosaur Battles is a winner and I strongly recommend the game. The game is a 3D real-time action fighting game, on par in terms of graphics with console titles, yet available for the PC. The dinosaurs are very realistic(true to the Jurassic Park brand on the game) and they fight other dinosaurs on Jurassic Park Island. Even when the dinosaurs are defeated, they just slink off with their tails between their legs--there is no real violence and certainly no blood or gore that I see in other dinosar-fighting games on the market.

Another reviewer gave Dinosaur Battles a negative review, recommending some X-Box dinosaur fighting game instead. While everyone's entitled to their opinion, please keep in mind what's really important when deciding what software to buy for your kids. I don't know this X-Box game, but I'm almost certain that it is probably not designed to be fun and non-violent for my 9-year-old like Dinosaur Battles is. So make up your own mind--just know that I am glad I bought this game, it works great for me, my kid loves it, and I will be looking for other games like it in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars fun game, i like the triceratops and the spino, September 27, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Jurassic Park: Dinosaur Battles (CD-ROM)

i just got this game for my birthday, which isn't really until next week. but... and it looked like it would be fun and it was. you get to go on an iland and find all kinds of dinosaurs (i think there are 6-8 of them, all different) and then you get some dinosaurs and you can give them a bunch of different cool powers like makeing their tails swipe or their claws razor sharp. and then you have these bad guy dinos that you have to kill (well, you don;'t really kill them because they get up and skunk away when you beat them and that is funny to watch!! there's a story in the game too so its not just one fight after another, you have to think a little bit and i like that the fighting is a part that you have to think about too. i am not finished with the game yet there are a bunch of levels but i am getting closer to finding out the secret and that makes me want to keep playing. if you know a kid who really likes dinosaurs and fighting games for the PC or for the mac, then this is the game for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Game is Really Fun but Hard, January 18, 2004

This review is from: Jurassic Park: Dinosaur Battles (CD-ROM)

My twin 5 year boys love this game. They can do everything except activiate the DNA in each skill. I have to do that for them. However, they can handle all of the battles and they have completely solved the game. I really enjoy playing it too! For those of you stuck on the aklosaurus, the online help of this game will get you through it. There is NO WAY we would have figured out how to complete this whole game without the online help. I strongly suggest printing it off and keeping it on hand. Anyway, the only way to defeat any armoured dinosaur is to use the piercing skills. They are usually the yellow skills with the word pierce or piercing in their name.
