Gigantosaurus The Game Reviews
We cannot wholeheartedly recommend Gigantosaurus: The Game to anyone. Young children who love the animated show may well get some limited enjoyment out of it, but with poor graphics, a total lack of any discernible challenge, and shocking technical issues, it's yet another licensed title that feels like it was designed as a quick cash grab. Games like this need to become extinct, and fast.
Designed entirely for younger gamers, Outright have created something genuinely pleasant and likeable in Gigantosaurus: The Game.
Gigantosaurus is exactly the kind of licensed tripe that made licensed games practically extinct in the first place. There's the occasional glimpse of fun, but it's hidden amongst a cretaceous tar pit of mundanity.
Gigantosaurus: The Game is the type of game that is difficult to recommend for everyone. The platforming gets a bit tiresome, the graphics are quite dated, and the overall package is geared towards a younger audience. If you have young gamers in the house, especially those familiar with the TV series, then this might be perfect. Another group of gamers who might get a kick out of this game are those that long for classic collect-a-thon platformers like Donkey Kong 64.
Let’s be clear — if your age is in double digits and you’re not a fan of the show, you probably won’t enjoy Gigantosaurus the Game. That said, it’s not really aimed at you. I have young children who are fans of the show, and they enjoyed this game.
Gigantosaurus The Game, while above average for a licensed game, is a thoroughly average platformer. While it is glitchy in some places, it will probably keep kids young enough to enjoy the show entertained for a good while and could serve as a gateway into the genre.
Even for a game aimed at the Disney Junior crowd, there are much better options out there. Play any other 3D platformer instead.
From top to bottom, Gigantosaurus is easy to grasp and offers the right level of challenge and flexibility for children to pick up and play.
If you’re looking for a game that’ll keep your younger children occupied, Gigantosaurus: The Game could be it.
A would-be bland, but harmless kids' platformer that, due to insulting levels of gameplay padding, crosses over into dreadful territory. Truly, it's hard to imagine anyone enjoying this tedious, personality-devoid bore of a game.

Gigantosaurus The Game is a wonderful 3D platformer that definitely knows its target audience: kids. With that in mind, it's still a fun game even for adults, especially if you're looking for an easy breezy collect-a-thon to wind down with.
As a dinosaur lover, you can absolutely enjoy this peaceful game, but don't expect any challenge while playing. The game is aimed at young children, who can play this game very well.

The game is most suitable for children who want to experience their first interactive video game. The simplest of things like tilting the analog stick to move the character or pressing a button to jump will be a the most fascinating thing to excite the children who would be using a gaming controller for the first time. Unfortunately, the game being way too simplistic may deter the value of the title and lacks in much needed localization to show consideration among children around the globe.

Gigantosaurus The Game is mostly aimed at kids that will appreciate the fun story, colorful visual style and simple gameplay. The four player co-op is a plus as well. However if you're a bit older, stay far away.

Gigantosaurus: The Game is a really interesting game because even though it does a lot of things wrong, they actually work great. The game takes a recommendation of 4 points out of 10. It is a very low recommendation, because I am sure that the game is definitely not for everyone. The only ones who will really appreciate the game are the children to whom I can definitely recommend the game. So if you are looking for a title that would be a ticket to the world of video games for your child, or a family acquaintance, you will definitely not make a mistake with Gigantosaurus.

There could be a cracking little game in here for kids, if the level design were more captivating and the job at hand felt more worthwhile. It pales into comparison compared to the Marios of this world.
We had fun playing Gigantosaurus The Game, especially with the sliding and karting. Fans of the show will love catching up with the gang, listening to the cute rhymes, and exploring the worlds it has to offer. That fun does come with some caveats, though.
Gigantosaurus The Game is awful, perhaps I’m being too hard on it but I also need to be honest that this is not a title I’d consider suggesting for even the younger ones out there.
Gigantosaurus: The Game is something that is likely to appeal to gamers aged seven and below. If you have a youngster that is just starting to dabble in computers this is the best entry level title I have seen since Paw Patrol: On A Roll and it comes packing much more content
