![]() ![]() now that you're aware of its charm, how does the special edition compare? In short: excellence has somehow become even more excellent. In any case, I'll try to focus on what is new is this edition: Those who have never heard of Dino Run should read our own excellent review, hit Play Dino Run, and be prepared to lose hours smiling. Then again, I like Star Wars, but know enough to say that Greedo's speed on the blaster didn't make that edition more special. Perhaps I, as an unabashed fanboy of the original will be unable to be objective. It's sometimes hard to separate the appreciation of the near-perfect Dino Run from that of the changes made to the content. the Cenozoic is right around the corner, and it won't be too friendly.Īnalysis: Reviewing special editions can be difficult. Along the way you can catch a ride on a friendly pterodactyl, as well as collect eggs (some secret!) and chomp on critters for DNA points (used to upgrade your abilities). Using the or keys to move jump and attack, and the key for an occasional extra burst of speed (a clicking noise will signal the recharge), you make your way across fields, rocks, hills, valleys and volcanoes, avoiding pitfalls, lava, and other dinos. As before, you are a small but quick dinosaur, hoping to escape extinction by outrunning the wall of destruction created by an errant meteor, racing against yourself or other online players. ![]() Gameplay functions much the same as the original, which is a good thing.
