The characters control pretty well, but the biggest problem has to be the lack of solid collision detection. For example, if you select Aladar to attack with his tail, should an enemy attack you at the same time, there will be times you will get hit and times where you will be unaffected by the attack. Bad collision detection doesn't apply to just combat either, as you'll encounter puzzles that require items to solve. Visually, the game looks okay. Pixelization is often seen with the budget water splashing and smoke trail effects.
Backgrounds display decent textures, though the level design is above average.
This usually occurred when Aladar was running through water and it's not necessarily a flaw, but you can tell it doesn't belong in the game. Once again, the main reason for the existence of Dinosaur is to appeal to fans of the movie. Should any fans purchase this game, they'll be happy to know that the game displays a lot of the great CG sequences from the film. Additionally, the game sports an encyclopedia that allows you to receive more information about the creatures that appear in the game. Yes, it has the gorgeous CG from the movie.
