    Nothing amazing, but not without cheeky charm. [Apr 2007, p.70]
  2. Despite the game's less-than-stellar visuals, budding paleontologists and Pokémon fans alike should find an enjoyable and lengthy romp through time in this handheld adventure.

    The game is fairly solid, and it's a game that deserves to not be left in the Stone Age.
  4. A good bet for your entry into the RPG genre, or if your parents will only buy you educational games. Otherwise, it’s decent, but nothing you haven’t played before and probably better.

    Fossil League is essentially a Pokemon clone that's pretty decent on the surface but lacks the depth, features and polish of the original monster-battlers. [May 2007, p.85]
  6. We really wish you could battle using multiple dinos at once, but in the end, the combination of paleontology and Pokemon won us over.
  7. Perfectly competent in execution, yet lacking that spark that makes us visibly excited to cough up yet more money for almost exactly the same Pokémon game as the last forty-four when Diamond and Pearl land over here.

    Awsome! My latest Dino is Carnotaurus and I'm on middle cretacious. This is an awsome game with a mix of pokemon and education.

    This game is fun! I beat it in 12 hours, I have T-Rex, and I completed my Dinodex!
