Review
School isn't going great. Your rival screws you up with his powerful connections and influence. Your professor gives you a failing grade. Getting expelled is right around the corner.
That said, you create a time machine and travel back to the age of the dinosaurs. With this earth-shattering discovery at your disposal, you might just be able to turn things around.
There isn't much in terms of plot as you navigate the dinoscape and work out your relationships with your friend and rival. Mostly, it's a collection of encounters with different types of dinosaurs, along with a couple of danger scenes to get the blood pumping. There is a stat system, along with different things to collect (samples, film, trophies, etc). Presumably, some of these collection options are connected to your stats, but the impact wasn't very apparent.
Not to mention, collecting these things didn't seem to be of much use, as the professor later threw all my findings out, pretty much declared me a fraud, and expelled me anyway. I mean, I brought a ton of souvenirs back from the prehistoric era, including a real living dinosaur. Are you seriously telling me you're not interested?
Frankly, if someone showed up today from a trip to the age of dinosaurs, complete with souvenirs, photographs and a living dinosaur, they would have been an international sensation on the spot. Yet, the entire ending just feels so ridiculously underwhelming. Granted, the rest of the world treated those discoveries with somewhat more interest than that very dense professor, but it still left me scratching my head.
Dinosaur fans may enjoy the romp through the land of the T-Rex. Still, the way it ended felt unsatisfying.
