Gameplay

The game features combat combined with RPG elements. Set 150 million years ago (though including species from throughout the Mesozoic), players can control dinosaurs fighting over territory, who have two main attacks, light and a heavy. The player also be able to perform combo attacks and special moves known as "Strikes". Players can choose from 28 different dinosaur genera, some initially available, others unlockable through certain game modes, and the rest unlockable by special codes.

Inaccuracies

• The comparitive sizes of the dinosaurs are not accurate. For example, Oviraptor is nearly the size of Triceratops.
• Oviraptor, Velociraptor, Juravenator, and Troodon are depicted as having bare skin, while all very likely had feathers.
• Carcharodontosaurus is misspelled as "Carcharodon".
• Dilophosaurus is shown as having the single pompadour-like, forward-facing crest of Cryolophosaurus, instead of its two crests that ran along sideways on either side of the head.
• Edmontonia is depicted as possessing a clubbed tail.
• Carnotaurus has the short, two-fingered hand seen on T-Rex, while in real life, the hands of Carnotaurus were even shorter, and had three fingers with a hand spike. Carnotaurus also lacks conical spikes from the back of the head to the tail.
• Juravenator has a small horn on its nose in the game, a completely speculative feature.
• Suchomimus is misspelled as "Suchominus".
• If the Albertosaurus is indeed in the game it perhaps was mutated by the volcano eruption.
• Except for Archosaurus all the bosses can be controled by Randomize!
• The Neo Dinosaurs have more or less realistic patterns; for example, Neo Carnotaurus has a skin pattern like that of a Bengal Tiger, Neo Einiosaurus has robotic features, and Neo Oviraptor has a skin design based on a Ninja outfit, complete with Ninja Stars.
