    With a more ambitious battle system and less ripped-off Pokemon stuff, Dinosaur King would've earned its throne. Unfortunately, it's more like a Dinosaur court jester. Off with its head.

    Based of the Arcade game and anime which are both really good, Dinosaur King on the DS is a very faithful port of the original Arcade gameBased of the Arcade game and anime which are both really good, Dinosaur King on the DS is a very faithful port of the original Arcade game onto the DS, it has a unique storyline and nearly all the dinosaurs from the Arcade return into this DS game to cause mayhem!

    The gameplay is simple but a lot of fun, it's basically Rock, Paper and Scissors but with Elemental Dinosaurs! It can get repetitive at times, but there's a lot of things to spice up the game like...
    Awakened Dinosaurs which are more powerful versions of your starter and a hidden Awakened Dinosaur.
    Alpha and Super Alpha Dinosaurs
    A LOT of unique attacks
    Small but fantastic soundtrack

    The game's graphics are really good for DS standards, the hub world and maps are colourful, but bland when it comes to character as a lot of people in this game is very forgettable except the main villains and your friends.

    Overall a really good port of the arcade version! If anyone from SEGA is reading this, PLEASE PORT THIS TO THE 3DS!    … Full Review »
