Summary

Dinosaur puts you in the shoes of the film’s three protagonists—Aladar, the herbivore iguanodon, Zini the swift raptor and Flia the pteranodon that stole the egg. The PlayStation version presents a third‑person top‑down view that blends platforming with light puzzles across twelve levels. Each character has its own special move: Aladar can push heavy objects, Zini scales walls and Flia flies to reach distant ledges, forcing you to swap constantly to rescue eggs, herd lost youngsters and fend off predators such as Velociraptor and Carnotaurus. Clips from the movie book‑end each stage, adding a cinematic touch. Reviewers noted the graphics look dated, the levels feel drab and the gameplay stays basic, which explains the generally unfavorable scores the PlayStation release received.

Storyline

Disney's Dinosaur on PlayStation loosely follows the film’s plot, opening on Lemur Island where Aladar, Zini, Suri and Plio live together. Their peaceful island life is shattered when a sudden meteor shower destroys the land, forcing the group to abandon their home. The survivors trek across a harsh prehistoric landscape toward the mainland. There, they encounter a massive herd of dinosaurs ruled by the ruthless leader Kron. The game’s storyline centers on Aladar’s struggle to protect his friends while navigating the dangers of a world reshaped by the meteor impact.
