Video Game Reviews of Combat of Giants DinosaursCustomer Review: Not as bad as you might think Summary: 3 Stars
AM I the first to post a review of this game...??? Oh boy. Maybe I am the only person who picked this game up who is over the age of five? I was at GameStop trying to decided which games I wanted to buy for my brand smackin' new 3DS. Samurai Warriors and this game were my picks. The register monkey was like, "...uuuhhh and we got Dinosaur 3D." "Dinosaur 3D?" I asked, "Well, I like dinosaurs." The idea seemed promising: run around as your dino of choice, mess some dinos up. "I'm in!" I told him. Hence, I was thrusted into the world of Dinosaur 3D.
Get this, the game actually has a story of sorts. Apparently there is one evil dino trying to bring the world of dinosaurs under a single rule. You get to pick a faction you'd like to fight for. These factions include, but are not limited to, predators and defenders. Of course I wasn't gonna pick some weak veggie eaters. I was going T-Rex. Oooooooh yeah!
The T-rex I picked even had a name. "Zilla". I mean how cliche can you get. "Zilla"? For a T-rex that sort of, kind, might resemble Godzilla? Please!
Anyway, the graphics are real nice and offer a 3d (not the 3D effect 3d, but rather Mario 64 style 3d) environmet where the analog on the 3DS really shines as far as controls go. You can go forward, you can go back, you can go side to side, you can roar, you can-- wait... wait! You can't bite? You can't feast? You can't attack???!!!! What is this????!!! By the gods!!!!
You see what happens, and this is a bit of a downer, is that when you meet another dino, an enemy dino, you go into like this combat mode. The game goes from being an interesting platform to a semi-quick time event fighter. You attack your enemy, and when they attack they turn red, which is a signal for you to step to either the right or left to dodge. That's it. You can't move back or forward in fight mode. Just side to side to dodge. After you slay an opponent you get some loot that they drop. You can equipped these goods to boost your dino's stats. I like that aspect. I really do. Also as you go along you can unlock a number of new skins for your terrible lizard. I am a sucker for stuff like that.
In the end I'd be lying if I said I didn't have any fun playing this game. There is some fun to be had, especially when it comes to collecting items and skins. The only thing is, will this title be a classic? No. Will it stay in my collection of games for long? No. I am sure both this game and Samurai Warriors will be sold back to GameStop in order to buy better games that come out for 3DS later on down the road. Still, this game is better than one might think!
