Let's stay on that movie theme for another advertisement, this time looking at Disney's Dinosaur, based on their poorly received life-action/computer-animation movie you've probably never seen. If there's one thing you can expect it's happy stories with cute little animal friends and evil witches that never end up being all that scary. Well, that's not what Dinosaur was all about. Imagine a computer animated version of Dances with Wolves, only take out Kevin Cosner and put in a bunch of boring dinosaurs. Oh, and forget about the Indians, Dinosaur is really about a bunch of Dinosaurs going on a ... oh, who am I kidding, I fell asleep trying to watch this snoozefest!

Is this the kind of "fun" experience that awaits us in Dinosaur for the Dreamcast, PlayStation, or Game Boy Color? The fact that this commercial asks if we can survive it doesn't bode well to its overall quality. But don't worry, this commercial decides to veer off into some obvious territory. "Extinction is not an option in Disney's Dinosaur," this commercial reads. Is extinction ever an option?? When we're planning out our day we never say "do the dishes, do the laundry, wash the car, and don't forget that extinction is an option." If your boss ever says that "extinction is not an option" then you might want to get another job, perhaps something in the fast food industry.

"March cross terrifying 3D landscapes racing with lava, raptors, carnotaurs, and more. It's the ultimate trek for srurvival." What, are you trying to scare me? Raptors? Lava? Oh, you're going to have to do better than that. I'm not scared of a T-Rex and some hot sauce, didn't you hear, extinction is not an option! The other reason I'm not afraid is because I've seen what the enemy looks like, and it looks like a yummy candy dinosaur. Check it out; see the two dinosaurs in the advert? Do either of those big guys instill any amount of fear in you? I bet you're not trembling at all; you're probably pretty hungry ... that dinosaur looks so good you could eat it. Well, perhaps all you need to know is that this game is based on the single most boring movie you will ever see. Trust me, this is the type of experience where you pray for a "watching grass grow" mini game.
