The '90s had a lot of FMV games, most of which were cheesy, even back then, and have visuals that have aged like bread. This isn't quite one of those games; I was surprised at how well a lot of the visuals held up. Yes, there are lengthy video sequences when you go ANYWHERE, but to me, there's a sort of charm in that. You can also skip them by clicking, so if it's not your thing, no need to worry. This doesn't just ride on that novelty, either; while most of the puzzles aren't really that complex or challenging, the tasks are interesting to complete, and go well with the story.
You're a young prince, trying to rally all humanoid and dinosaur species together to fight against a group of what I think is more aggressive dinosaurs - it doesn't really explain that very well - but to that end, you explore different valleys, finding different groups of living beings, and convincing them to band together. Yes, you will be doing a lot of the same things (giving mushrooms to brontosauruses, giving nests to the triceratops, etc.), and some people might call that "repetitive", but I like to think of it as consistent in this case; there are new experiences to be had in each valley, to keep things fresh, but when you arrive, you at least have a basic goal in mind, and a good idea of how to go about it. What I found really neat was that each valley has an overworld map, which can be used to travel quickly, but also tells you just where you are, and how to get back to things you've already found.
The game is nobody's masterpiece, but I feel like it does a lot of unique, interesting things, and that was enough for me. I've always wanted one of these kinds of games, but didn't have a good enough computer when they were relevant, and now that I can finally play them, this did not disappoint.
