CTR Review

Our game testers liked this fast-paced fighting and collecting game, finding it easy to play. You assume the role of one of two dinosaurs (either Max or Rex) as you search for 100 dinosaurs, each with its own special moves. A Dinosaur Encyclopedia helps you by giving scientific data and genealogy facts on the dinosaurs. You will travel to five different territories around the world and dig for fossils indigenous to that area. Once you have collected your dinosaurs, you can battle to stop Dr. Z and the Alpha Gang who are trying to hunt down the dinosaurs and take over the world. The more battles you win, the more powerful the dinosaurs will become. You can also enter dinosaur battles and trade items and dinosaurs with friends via Nintendo Wi-Fi. Borrow it.
