Licensed games continue to be a spectacular hit. There are examples of articles that have given you the right one, such as The South Park: A Fact Sheet and respectively, but sadly there are countless other games that just feel like a shameless cash grab, relying solely on brand popularity over compelling gameplay. Unfortunately this happens with Gigantosaurus: A Game, a lifeless husk for a platform game that takes many directions from Super Mario Odyssey, but fails to use them in any reasonable way.
It is important to note that Gigantosaurus: The game is intended for very young consumers: we're talking about ages 6 and under. The way the narrative is presented makes this very clear from the beginning: cutscenes appear from time to time to complete a task or level, and the plot is told entirely by simple, historical narratives. None of the characters themselves can speak, which is a shame in some way, but the clarity of the delivery means that at least children will be able to follow without much trouble.
He plays as one of the young diners: Little, Rocky, Mazu, and Bill. You can switch between the four on the trip, or catch up with three friends and play together. The game is divided into a few decent size levels, and your priority for each level is to collect dinosaur eggs that are spread throughout the environment and return them to their nests individually. There are a few side quests to choose from over this one, but they all consist of a collection of unique items, and no doubt the demand for the complex story is sufficiently realistic.
Each of the playable dinosaurs has a special ability that will allow access to specific locations. So, for example, Tiny is a good Triceratops, and she can use her strong skull to hit the beams, giving you a useful bridge when they break down. Playing with friends means you will need to communicate which player is required for the task, but if you are alone, you will need to cycle through the dinosaurs until you reach the right, which can be frustrating after the 13th.
There is absolutely no doubt that Gigantosaurus: The game has taken inspiration from Super Mario Odyssey, that the task of collecting dinosaur eggs is very similar to collecting moons. A little experimentation is needed to find each of them, but given the intended audience of the game, the difficulty is there or little. In fact, it's never until the fourth level where you'll find any creatures that can physically harm you – at least, to our knowledge. We can put this down to a game that caters to its intended audience, but heck, games if us
Surprisingly, Gigantosaurus: The game is actually two genres in one. We covered the side of the communications arena, but within that distance, the game becomes a kart race – not too perfect, mind you. It is actually a great way to end the recurring nature of the main game, as you need to take part in races to move from one place to another. Also, you can choose from one of the four main characters, but we couldn't find any noticeable differences between them either in terms of speed or handling.
You will be racing to follow tracks, collecting progresses and various other collections along the way, but sadly no weapons are available. It's probably easy to overcome insults, but again, we need to keep reminding ourselves that little kids. However, the controls are just as good here, even if they don't have the karting mechanics like driving. You can also choose to run straight from the main menu if you want a break from the main game, which is a nice touch.
With its standard functionality, the Gigantosaurus: The game is almost as smooth as the spinosaurus & # 39; s backside. The frame rate is constantly showing and it starts to struggle when the screen gets busy. In addition, we are all used to making game gear disappear when the camera gets too close, but in this case things like giant trees and rocks disappear as soon as you climb them, so you find yourself constantly moving towards invisible objects. – Given the basic nature of graphics (we're talking about GameCube / Wii quality), this is simply irresistible, and makes for an annoying gameplay experience.
Conclusion
We would not wholeheartedly recommend Gigantosaurus: Game to anyone. Young children who love the animated show may find some fun in it, but with poor graphics, a lack of visual challenge, and alarming technical problems, it's another licensed title that feels designed as a quick grab-and-go. Games like this need to end, and fast.
