Another Disney game from my childhood, this one being a top-down adventure game with RPG elements.

As far as gameplay goes, it's fine. It's basic RPG, and there's nothing wrong with that. My only issue with it is that the level scaling is a bit strange or I couldn't grasp it, because each mission has a limited number of enemies so you can't properly grind for tougher enemies on later missions, although the game grants you xp for solving puzzles, completing objectives and by simply finishing the mission. This can be a problem because it slows down the growth curve of your characters and certain enemies become a chore to beat, although this can be remedied by using offensive items such as asteroids and the special stones, and it also forces the player to improvise strategies. For example, I was able to whittle down the hp of a bigger and tougher enemy with Zini's rock throw, and later I switched to Aladar to finish it off with stronger but slower attacks.

Speaking of, the combat is also basic, with two options for attacks with two out of the three playable characters. It's hard to avoid getting hurt while fighting enemies, so you have to time your attacks well. You can also strafe around them to keep your distance before attacking. However, certain enemies are damage sponges, and it may become boring to fight them unless you have stones for a special attack which does a good amount of damage, or simply use a fiery asteroid item.

What made this game fun to me was the teamwork aspect. Each character has their own weaknesses and strengths; you can use Flia to scout ahead, or use Zini to climb up platforms and find inaccessible items or lure enemies into a trap, and Aladar can break things to open new paths. I would be lying if I said I wasn't satisfied whenever I got to complete objectives with these characters.

Other minor criticisms would be the music, which is very ambient-like but isn't anything remarkable, and some of the dino models show their age. Kron's boss fight was also a minor headache; it took me a few loss lives, wasting all my special power stones and lots of asteroids to beat him. That was really annoying.

Any other complaints? Well... I guess dino enthusiasts may not like how inaccurate the dinosaurs are in the game? But that doesn't really matter to me; the good outweighs the bad in Disney's Dinosaur.

A childhood classic finally completed after my PS1 broke. And it's as I remembered, a fun, surprisingly good game adaptation of the classic movie.

The PC version, however, isn't as good as the PS1 version.
The controls feel a little slower compared to the PS1 version, there are issues with the sfx, and I ran into a bug while fighting Zurg, though that was fixed by downloading a quick-fix online. The cleaner visuals, compared to the jittery PS1 graphics, feel like a downgrade to me.

However, despite these issues, my experience was generally good. I played this game so much as a kid, and I'm glad I got back to it after all these years.

I also finished it when I couldn't finish it back in the day. Cheers.
