Review of Dinosaur King: The Adventure Begins
(Dinosaur King: The Adventure Begins was provided to me by Click Communications for the purpose of review.)
Step into the action of Dinosaur King! From SEGA and the masterminds behind Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! comes the new hit series that combines the ultimate in exciting 2D and 3D dino-animation.
Join the D-Team - Max, the son of a world-famous paleontologist, and his friends Rex and Zoe - in this prehistoric adventure that begins when they uncover a set of mysterious dinosaur cards and three palm-sized stone tablets that have the power to bring extinct dinosaurs to life! Whoever controls the cards is master of the dinosaurs… With their new power, the three friends are thrust into a quest to collect the lost cards that have been scattered around the world - before they fall into the hands of the evil Alpha Gang! Dinosaur King is your destiny - make your move!
Episodes include:
~ Prehistory in the Making
~ Battle at the Pyramids
~ Tanks a Lot!
~ Bungle in the Jungle
~ Rubble Trouble
First, let me just say that the people who make Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and now, Dinosaur King are geniuses when it comes to creating programs that appeal to boys. Take fantastic creatures - either Pokemon, creatures, or dinosaurs - add in a liberal dose of silly comedy, some exciting battles, and a lot of talk about “destiny,” and you have a show that will appeal to any young boy. While I see Dinosaur King as yet another Pokemon clone, my boys see it s a funny, thrilling show about two of their favorite things: collectible cards and dinosaurs.
Noah’s review: It was very, very fun. It doesn’t have the complete season, but it’s a good show. I think every DVD that you get comes with a Dinosaur King card. 4 and a half stars.
Jonathan’s review: Dinosaur King is a very great show because these dinosaurs come to life from cards. If you deal with this dino-holder, then they slide the card, and the dinosaur comes to life. 5 stars.
Josiah’s review: 5 stars.
Dinosaur King: The Adventure Begins is available now on DVD. The DVD special features include Behind the Roar Triceratops, a Sneak Peak at Dinosaur King from SEGA, and an exclusive Dinosaur King trading card.
