To download the game, follow the link below. Well worth the time, whether you consider it a Disney Classic or not. There's some surprising depth to some of the mini-games that make it more than just a simple diversion.

It's at least worth a play with friends.ĭespite some basic presentation, Dinosaur is actually one of the best in the series. It's the most unique, difficult and time-consuming game of any Activity Centre and for that alone is worthy of some applause, yet I can't help but feel it's a little underbaked.

It's not always clear which dinos are stronger than the others so that adds some unnecessary trial and error to what should be an entirely strategic game. Not only that, but each team have a number of other attributes to assign to their troops, making them tougher. Some dinos are stronger than others so beware. It has been hidden randomly behind an opponent's of whom you have to defeat. Those troublesome carnies have stolen an egg from the herd and want more. Herbivores are pitted against carnivores in a battle to find an egg. Lastly, there's 'Colossal Fossil Face Off', a chess variant with enough going for it that it could very well be its own game. The latter has enough going for it to make it relatively unique all on its own. If you walk over a line you've already crossed it will also disappear again increasing the difficulty a little bit. There are 50 levels in total with the grid gradually increasing its size and rocks blocking the way giving it an extra element of strategy. The one with the most ponds once the time limit runs out wins. Called 'Iguanodon Pond-a-thon', you have to navigate your dino around a grid to form ponds.

It gets very silly at times, no doubt coaxing out some guffaws from children and adults alike.įor anyone who remembers killing time in school by playing a game called Squares in their Maths exercise books, there's a similar version here. Once you've created a beast, it will create a puzzle and short sentence of a story for it.

Instead, the sole creative element is a dinosaur creator where you can create your own Frankenstein's creature of a dino. A basic puzzler that's more than worth it for the Dinosaur obsessed children in the family.Įven assign sounds and images that will determine it's personality.Įvery Activity Centre has its own drawing program, but Dinosaur doesn't. There are special 'ray of light' blocks which can be any number but with no real way to lose the game, (there's no time limit or deadly pit holes) they're not as exciting as they might seem. The ball is controlled with the arrow keys which you can manipulate horizontally as mid-flight. Remove them all (or enough so that no 3 block stand in a row) and you progress to the next level, of which there are a commendable 100 in total. The aim is to hit the numbered blocks so three matching tiles aligned disappear. 'Styracosaurus Spelunker' (say that three times fast) adds some breakout mechanics to the mix as well. There's another matching game on the disc too. Match two identical blooms so your Madagascan primate can mate. Flowers hang down from the branches of a tree, their petals randomly opening and closing sometimes swapping their colours just to mess with you. The former is pretty basic but the latter offers some nice puzzling gameplay.įirst there's the matching game titled 'Lemur Love Match'. What it lacks in immersion, it makes up for in the well-implemented games it has, one being rather unique for the series. Most other Activity Centres had maps or scenes as their menus, but here there is but a single image linking to the five mini-games. We're here to talk about Disney's Dinosaur: Activity Centre - definite proof of its classic status.ĭependably top-notch animation aside, the presentation in Dinosaur is rather minimal. It's not a great movie, but that's a topic for another day.

Instead of retconning the line up to match up with the rest of the world, Disney UK instead gave The Wild - a 2006 movie animated by the Canadian company C.O.R.E. This had a knock on effect for the studio's first big movie in the 2010s, when Tangled was to be promoted as Disney's 50th classic. It's not like it was different in every other territory though. There is speculation that they didn't want this 2000 computer animated movie (the first for the Walt Disney Animation Studios) to confuse audiences with Pixar's output while also not taking away from the two other traditionally animated movies that year in the classics line - Fantasia 2000 and The Emperor's New Groove. Over here it is omitted entirely, which is rather bizarre. Everywhere else in the world it is officially Disney's 39th animated classic. Disney's Dinosaur has a bit controversial history for UK Disneyphiles.
