past various obstacles and chuck
rocks at the monsters and other
enemies that get in your way.
The landscape varies from level to
level, ranging across deserts, oceans
and underground caves, which allows
the game to throw a good mix of
obstacles and enemies. And, instead
of committing dinocide, you can team
up with many of the dinosaurs you
encounter, perhaps riding on their
back to escape other monsters, or
using a fire-breathing T-Rex to blast
your way past an obstacle.
Bear in mind that, like those old
NES games, Dinocide can also be
enormously frustrating at times.
You need to feed your caveman on aregular basis by picking up various
bits of food that are scattered around
each level. If you don’t eat often
enough he will simply keel over,
forcing you to start the level again.
This feed-me mechanic is meant to
add a sense of urgency to the game,
but it can also be really annoying at
times, so Dinocide will mainly appeal
to purists who enjoy old-school
gaming, rather than casual gamers
looking to pass some time on a
rainy afternoon.- Limbo
