Inform

Dinosaur King is an adventure game / RPG adapted from a popular animated series in Japan. The title borrows the concept of Piketon and proposes to raise and to fight dinosaurs. These famous dinosaurs can be found by digging the soil.

Test

A few years Piketon arrived in France in video game, in trading cards, cartoon and a series of objects to questionable usefulness. But the problem still exists and remains etched in our memories. Is now the turn of Dinosaur King to its entry into maps, television and video games. Episode DS resurrected dinosaurs. Would it have been better to keep them asleep?

The D Team

dinosaur-king-1The game Dinosaur King follows the plot of the cartoon aired on France 3, Canal J but also the emerging mode of collectible cards. The story then follows Rex and Max, two young boys crazy about dinosaurs, attending the science site D. This works to the reappearance of the dinosaurs and in particular on creation: the pistodinos. This invention can revive the great reptiles and use them in battles in which the Team-D, Rex and Max, will face. But a mysterious group and ill-intentioned, the Alpha Gang, steals a prototype pistodinos and goes in search of fragments of stone, signs of the presence of dines. That’s when you enter a game to get the prototype and put his hand on the shards.

Piketon-like, like, like …

dinosaur-king-2You then stroll on the map by following the characters Rex and Evil on the bottom screen, like in Pokémon. Moreover, impossible to ignore the “other” game collection of monsters given the presence of a game play identical. You head Rex (or Max) to the arrows; you talk to different characters players in place. In talking to them that we already discovered some traces of the facility and the “seeker” in the game For example, if you talk to a Niche will tell you what to do and go see another character. And so on. There are very few moments of freedom and making his head like a Piketon. You’ll be guided from beginning to end without ever having to ask you what to do. This lack of freedom can be both a positive and a negative for the game the one hand because it allows a direct progression of the plot, which is destined for children. On the other hand, this kind of extreme facility can sell it to everyone in order to avoid business failures. But this walk by the hand not just to guide the adventure.

Pierre-scissors-paper

dinosaur-king-4the most important thing, of course, fighting dinosaurs. These occur on the top screen and the system is based on rock, paper, and scissors. A priori, those who know the game know it is only a matter of chance. Here, unfortunately, this is not the case. Whether in combat or even start during interventions enemies, tricks show you subtly attacks that opponents will start. Younger children may therefore counter the enemies and chain battles. It thus ends up winning every time and, ultimately, it becomes tiresome. Certainly, the level-up is done without any hindrance, but the fun of it does not exist. Again, in comparison Piketon-like with Piketon, it does not grip the game so easy. For this test, the first boss has been defeated without difficulty while in Pokémon; it should reach a minimum level to have any chance of winning. The fighting came to be interesting, however, thanks to animations. Using new dinosaurs or obtaining new attacks, the fight sequences do not really lack of dynamism. And anyway, you can change the dinosaur to vary combo’s.

besides the fighting, the game is for fans of dinosaurs and then placed on the collection thereof. To help you in your quest have all the dinosaurs in the game, you get the beginning of the adventure, radar and drill fossils. The first object can identify the fossil and the second of them off the land. To give birth to the dinosaur freshly caught, you just have to go to a care center. The latter is used to treat Pokémon, recharge the battery of radar and cleaning fossils. This is a “mini-game” if you can tell who is truly alone in using the touch screen. A stiletto, it will scrape the earth covering the fossil to be able to use later. You only have to store it in the three free slots for fighting. Side bestiary, the most famous dinosaurs invite themselves in the soft Sega. Tyrannosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Irritator and many others and the fans can obtain information on the reptiles once captured in the complete encyclopedia of about 72 species. To see which dinosaur is the strongest, you can participate in duels wife with friends who are of little interest within minutes.

An unusual mixture

all of this is cradled by a band it’s a bit limited, especially by the absence of sounds of dinosaurs. As for the graphics, they are divided into two types. On the one hand, the appearance of design mange: characters, environments. On the other, fighting dinosaurs in 3D is trying very realistic. Any aspect may shock at first, and finally, mix rather well. We must remember that the fighting realistic only take place on the screen above and never encroached on the achievement mange. The fights are free from defects. In contrast, some poor effects of no interest during the fighting. Small balls of light appear in the special moves and restore the appearance mange. Here, the mixture does not stick.
