I've actually played this game--unlike some of the other reviewers here :-( and I think it's great. The scanner is cool and lets you play the game even when you're away from the computer. You can scan almost any barcode and get special powers. I love going into grocery stores with my scanner and just scanning everything in sight! Even boring things like flour and toothpaste can have very strong powers attached to them. You have to experiment to find the really powerful stuff and that's part of the fun.
The graphics are really great and they're much better than graphics in most kids games. The story is interesting and the levels are fun without being impossible to get through. The battles are the best part. These dinosaurs really know how to fight. And even when you beat a bad guy, he doesn't die, he just slinks away. That part is so funny to watch!
There's supposed to be some super-powers hidden in different barcodes but I haven't found one yet. I am checking in with their website every few days for updates.

As a parent, I'm extremely pleased with the level of attention that the makers of this dinosaur fighting game put into minimizing violent content. Much to my delighted surprise, I found that when a dinosaur is "defeated" in battle, they do not "die" but instead walk away with their heads hung in despair. In a world of ultra violent video games, it's nice to finally see someone showing the next generation that fighting only ends in sadness.

This is the perfect game for people that like going to grocery stores and wanting some entertainment. This game has best kind of gameplay, graphics, sound, and action ever!! Scan bar codes with special dinosaur techniches like a t-rex super roar or an ultra tail whip, etc... Finally a game with action but no blood. The dinos don't even die when they lose a battle!!! They slump away with a sad face! I think that scan command is the best game on the planet!!!!

I just got this game and I can't stop playing. The scanner looks like a cell phone (kinda cool). I take it with me everywhere and scan stuff. Some barcodes have super powers so it's like a scavenger hunt to find the best ones. The dinosaur battles are pretty intense. I hope all my friends get the game because you can trade powers from one scanner to another.

WOW! This game is dino-cool! The graphics and battles scenes are fun. You get to be in control of your dino as he fights Spinos, a T-Rex and other types. It's nice to finally see a game with no blood -- just super jabs, tail wacks, and body slams. But the best part is the scanning. That thing is cool! I went with my mom to the market and started scanning barcodes to see what super-powers I'd get. Geez, it's amazing how many barcodes are out there. I downloaded the super-powers from my scanner to my computer and found some super special powers. I just wish I had more time to play this game... it's sooo amazing.

I didn't expect much when I bought this game, I thought it's just another game that tried to cash in from the Jurassic Park brand new. I have played many Jurassic Park games before for the other game systems, but none of them came close to this one in terms of gameplay and creativity. Scanning bar-code is a very neat idea, it's fun for me even though I'm not a kid anymore. My younger cousin has tried it too, and he's hooked with this game now, it's actually a very fun game to play. You should give this game a try even if you're not a dinosaur fan, the game concept is so creative that I'm surprised to it.

this is a groovy game! scanning the different products is especially fun. I am trying to get more of my friends to get one so we can trade and fight our creations. I have found that scanning my black lab somehow provides the secret DNA needed for the most successful fighters! The game also provides an excellent opportunity for me to buy candy or any other bar code items! i feel this contributes directly to our economy and it makes me feel like superman to get involved with US commerce. This game has dual functions and should be rewarded for it's creativity, action involvement and interaction with other players!

This toy is awsome i got my t-rex has won about 1,000,000 battles. I found a barcode that will drive you guys crazy go to the Acme and buy a cake you will get so many points!!!!!

This is a very good game, but make sure you read the manual on the CD in the Support/Manual folder. Don't forget to fill in the spaces for the Body and Rest functions. The scanner will time out and give you a command/DNA if you wait long enough, even if you do not scan anything.

I bought Jurassic Park Scan Command, and I am having a blast with it. Just a few minutes ago, I read a review for this game that said there was a major flaw in the game, because you couldn't reset the scanner and be able to scan barcodes that was scanned before. WRONG! There is a way. If the reviewer would have taken the time to read the instructions carefully, if not at all, they would know that there is a reset button on the back of the scanner. It is made for reseting the scanner after it has frozen, but if you press it (you have to use a pencil point to press it), it will reset the barcode history, and you can scan barcodes again and again. This is why you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
