Summary

Dinosaur Mission Dino Camp is a story-based game that immerses players in a full 3D world with 360-degree camera control. The game, which features cartoon graphics and in-game cutscenes, tasks players with maintaining and caring for dinosaurs. Missions are clearly marked on the map and compass, and players can engage in a variety of tasks such as tranquilizing dinosaurs, giving them medicine, and cataloging them. The game also includes hidden collectibles throughout the reserve and allows players to drive vehicles and interact with friendly staff members. Simple puzzles are incorporated into the gameplay, and the resort is open for free exploration. The controls are easy to learn, with shortcuts to menus like the map available. Players can take pictures with their cameras and revisit their snaps in the album. The game offers an easy trophy list and a wide variety of tasks and activities.

However, the game does have a few issues. It lacks settings like camera sensitivity sliders and has performance woes such as pop-in and ugly textures. The character animations are somewhat robotic, with characters having dead eyes. Certain actions are limited to specific points rather than being freely available. Movement can be clunky due to the many invisible walls present in the game. Additionally, there is uncertainty about when you last saved or hit a checkpoint.

Overall, Dinosaur Mission Dino Camp offers a variety of activities and an engaging storyline but falls short in terms of performance and character animation. It is however a game that younger gamers will enjoy as it doesn’t have a lot of mechanics to worry about or a big complicated mission structure.
