THE WORST DISNEY GAME EVER - DINOSAUR, PS1/PS2: i don't have a nose review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ย. 2020
- Just when you thought I'd already plumbed the depths when it comes to the worst of the worst Disney games (we're all looking at you, Peetle Pan), there had to be one game that dared to be EVEN WORSE. Two, in fact. Yes, indeed, this month I'm covering two different (but very similar) games based on what is, in my opinion, one of the most undeservedly forgotten Disney movies of all time: Dinosaur. That's right - two terrible games for the price of one. Aren't you the lucky ones?
Both of these games adopt a somewhat interesting look at first glance. Rather than conforming to the usual half-hearted, cookie-cutter platforming template characteristic of a vast array of movie games, these games attempt more of an RPG-style form of gameplay (kind of), and the result is... well, see for yourself. Believe me - you iguana-don't want to play these games! They're ptera-ble. Nothing will tricera-top these tyrannosaurus wrecks! Okay, I'll stop.
Notes that probably no-one will read but I'm writing anyway because it makes me feel better:
1:05 - She was actually going to feed her chicks but saying 'she tried to eat you' packed more of a punch.
12:36 - I'm aware the Styrachosaurus was not a predator. I should probably have said 'enemy' instead, just to avoid confusion. Blame the game for needlessly making this dinosaur evil for no reason.
Thanks for watching again, everyone! I'm intending to be back at Christmas, and afterwards I'll be accepting more requests - I have a lot already but I've decided to cover some new ones next year if you have any more suggestions!

Massive thank you to everyone who joined for the premiere and live chat! Hope you enjoyed! The deleted scenes for this video are now available via my Patreon - patreon.com/idonthaveanose! Thanks again, see you next month!
Already done!! 😁 Haha! I covered it last May - though I'm gonna cover the PS2 game at some point
Thank you so much!!! 😁 I love making these, thanks for watching!
You're right! I have not... I actually own the PS2 version, so if I ever cover it, it'll likely be a PS1/PS2 comparison video.
I'll warn you though - I'm terrible at that game. 😂
Haha! Thanks. So many have compared me to Caddicarus, weirdly. 😂
@@NaughtyDog0 Thank you. I did used to watch Caddicarus but never saw a big similarity. 😂 I'm flattered though, haha!
True hero, suffering through this so we don't have to.
This film has aged well in my opinion. I wasn't allowed to ever play the game but boy, my mother saved me some trauma.
My god! And I fought Peter Pan for PS2 was terrible! And the worst is that it is a strategy game, which is the genre that I hate
This applies to the PS1 version…
At least with most of the “someone must be protected” scenarios, they typically don’t have to follow you the whole time nor are you given a time crunch.
In “Baby Sitting,” the only thing that matters is to kill all the enemies that are close to the babies, after that you can take all the time you need and gain extra XP, which I recommend since you need to be able to kill enemies QUICKLY in the next level, “Finding Neera.”
For “The Lake,” you can actually use fruit to heal Eema at the start (and do it more if her health drops too much) and also none of them move until Baylene does, so you can instead just take out all the enemies first and ensure none of them get attacked as you do the objective.
For “Keeping Up to the Herd,” you can actually just park the elderly dinosaurs at the beginning (they stay where they are if you move too far ahead of them quickly) and wipe out all enemies first, yeah you’ll hear them whining the whole time but at least you can take your time with the enemies.
For the Url section of “Confronting Kron,” you can walk ahead of him and wipe out incoming enemies, he’ll stay in place until you get close to him again.
In “The Final Showdown,” Neera can be killed by the Carnotaur, but as long as you quickly attack it so it comes after you, that’s not an issue.
The one major exception is “Finding Neera” since her health gradually drops with time, but again if you properly leveled up, it is VERY possible to take every enemy out before the Spinosaurus, farm XP for Aladar (who is the MVP in this level), and grab all the fruit and still have time to save her. I’ve done all that and she still has 60/300 HP left worst-case scenario. The game doesn’t care how much HP she has, just that she lives, and she is fully healed when she returns in the last level.
Really the only non-boss level you can’t farm/strategically gain XP in is “Unpleasant Company,” since you have to RUN the whole time and you must get to the herd before the Carnotaur does.
I remember as a kid playing the ps1 game, when I made it to the final boss, the game glitched and the carnataurous killed itself offscreen.
Like literally the level started, I took a few steps, and suddenly the game told me I won.
You got lucky. I had a couple of times where it REFUSED to attack me and instead attacked Neera. So I always hit it with a couple of stones to make sure it comes after me, as it can kill Neera in a couple of hits.
I still love this game. It may have its flaws but the level design, the nostalgia, the soundtracks, the abundance of dinosaur enemies- I played this to completion on PC then played it for PS2 when my new computer wouldn’t let me play it. That’s how much I loved it as a huge dinosaur nerd. The PSX version does look tacky AF though, so I never played that version.
Tbh I really appreciate that they were going for a different style to the usual movie game platformer. I played the PS1 game when I was little and still enjoyed it simply because of my love for dinosaurs, but yeah, it's not great. 😂
I think the weirdest part of these games is that they both have Spinosaurs in them as an enemy type and nether really give up much of a fight
Considering the main threat is a Carnotaurus and is pretty much invincible, choosing a Spinosaur as a weaker, smaller enemy just feels strange. They could’ve gone with a Baryonyx or something but choosing a dinosaur that’s notorious for being the largest theropod for such a weak role will never not feel strange
Ironically, the game was perhaps the first piece of media to correctly portray the Spinosaurus with a crocodile-like snout (instead of looking like a T. rex with a sail). Remember, JP3 wasn’t until 2001, a year after Disney’s Dinosaur (film and game).
I only saw the Spinosaurus in the game as a threat in Finding Neera, where it was very aggresive and could kill Neera while you were fighting it. It’s usually still aggressive when it returns in Mountain Lane, but by then if you leveled up well you can typically take them with no problem (I usually have Aladar maxed, so he can easily do it, instead I challenge myself by instead using Zini, where it’s a game of “hit and dodge.”)
Wow, that dinosaur song...is stuck in my head....*hums tune*
I also had it stuck in my head for days 😂
@@idonthaveanose HaHa!
And to think we were tortured with peetal pan before having to look at this, this is gonna be a rough ride.
Fun fact: Baylene and Eema , who were originally voiced by Joan plowright and Della Reese In the film are voiced here by Tress Macneille and Billy West (both of which do voices on Futurama: Tress is mom and Billy is Fry). They of course have done countless other voices through the years as well
You have honestly just blown my mind... For years, I have wondered what role Billy West had in the Dinosaur games and I assumed he just made dinosaur noises. I usually find him so recognisable. 😳
@@idonthaveanose You can hear his voicing of the character a lot better in the "dinosaurs activity center" game. He does a pretty good black woman. Lolzz
I am genuinely amazed I've never realised this. 😂
The Movie Dinosaur is one of my Favorite Movies of all time, but I've never played the game
Well the PS2 version of Disney Dinosaur is in Europe but the only one in North America is the Dreamcast version.
Version 1 PS1
Version 2 Dreamcast PC
Version 2 1/2 PS2
I love how you have the Casper morph sound in your intro :)
Hey! This review is really good at exploring the pros and cons of these games. I have the PS1 game and even though it was not the best creation to bless the planet, I have a fondness for its music. Do you happen to have the OST or a link to it on hand? I'm sad the soundtrack has seemed to disappear from TH-cam.
Thank you! 😃 I don't, I'm afraid. I did record the music from the game for this review but I deleted it straight after finishing the video. Sorry. ☹
I remember seeing Disney's Dinosaur at the theater for the first time. Seriously, that raptor scene terrified me as a kid. But in all honesty, it's actually pretty enjoyable & for a movie about dinosaurs in 2000's, the dinosaurs themselves look really good in the film. I even got some of the McDonald's Happy Meal toys of that film. When I was younger I really loved dinosaurs in general, because they looked so cool but now days when everyone is about science accuracy & the dreadful Jurassic World films, to me they lost their charm. I personally preferred dinosaurs that looked like giant lizards. Giving them feathers just makes them look weird, especially for carnivores of all things.
19:05 I encountered this glitch where Eema just falls off the path and into the quicksand, softlocking me out of completing the level, so I was forced to restart.
Sorry to ask again, but is barnyard on your list?
Great videos btw, love the humour
Hi! Thank you - I may be able to cover it as part of my requests next year. I can't promise but it's been on my to-do list with a load of others. I'm mostly intending to cover some games that have been requested several times.
@@idonthaveanose Thanks! Yeah that's awesome
I didn’t mind this game as a child. But I absolutely love that film. How Dinosaur doesn’t go towards the animated classic line up in the UK, but rather, The Wild, I’ll never know. Plus the 2011 Winnie the Pooh film apparently doesn’t count as an animated classic, thus subtracting future animated classics down by one number. Such as Wreck-It Ralph being downgraded from Animated Classic no. 52 to 51, Frozen from 53 to 52, Big Hero 6 going from 54 to 53 etc. What is their logic?
Exactly - this really bothers me. Why bother numbering them if you can't get it right?! It's not like it's a hard thing to do. 😂
@@idonthaveanose Absolutely. It’s not rocket science. It’s just making sure you get the numbers down. Maybe they didn’t number it because it felt like a direct to DVD movie and the film was quite short anyway.
Was the Winnie the Pooh movie even at cinemas in the UK at all? It's really odd that they're both omitted as Dinosaur was their first CGI film, and Pooh was their last traditionally animated. They're kind of like milestones in a way.
@@idonthaveanose Yes it was, but only for like a 2 week period.
@@idonthaveanose Yes indeed.
I think theres an easy way to fix this game: making it an rpg, with an entire world instead of separated levels.
Also for a ps1 tie-in-game i suggest nicktoons racing (which i personally think is very bad) i know is not disney, but it uses characters from tv shows.
Your reviews always puts a smile on my face.
Not sure if this is the kind of game you'd want to review, but there's this really obscure PS2 game called Kya: Dark Lineage. It apparently had really bad sales, and the planned sequel was cancelled because of it. It has some pretty neat concepts and gameplay elements, though other parts don't hold up so well.
Regardless, fun review. Looking forward to your next one.
This has been requested before and it's been mentioned several times, I've been looking into checking it out
You're not the first to request about Kya, like Nose said! I like the game very much myself and have asked him about it in the past. At this point it's just a matter of waiting, and hopefully he will have a good experience with it when he gets to it :)
If i might ask, what was your own experience or views on the game?
@@jurtheorc8117 Sorry for the late response.
I had a lot of fun with it when I was a kid, though I never managed to beat it. I can't remember exactly where I got, either, but it may have been halfway through the game. I remember really liking the soundtrack, and I still listen to it sometimes. It's a shame there aren't more playthroughs of it.
@@mineko7499 ooo sounds cool what’s it about?
"AIEEEE!" -Zini
Great video! You should review Tron Bonne! (The controls are bad)
Thanks!! I may look into it at some point! 😁 Thanks for joining the live chat too, it was fun!
@@idonthaveanose Yeah, That would be cool! I enjoyed the live chat! Have a great day. Edit: (The tron bonne game is kinda rare)
Can you do Disney’s 102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue?
If I can get my hands on it, possibly. 😬 It looks expensive
Quick question: have you heard of Rachet and Clank? The only game I own is the second game and the re...remake-reboot thing I struggled to finish 😅 I was compelled to try to finish the former because of rift apart, the game I can’t play.
I love the origibal Ratchet and Clank. I haven't played it in a long time but I randomly return to the soundtrack now and again. I played some of the second game and the remake. The remake didn't do much for me though.
@@idonthaveanose ok 🙂
It was probably the first game I ever played and I loved it so much, but I was too dumb to actually finish it
Could you please review Stitch Expirement 626, The Spongebob Movie Game or the Monster House Game?
Whoa, that's really weird - someone literally just requested Stitch. I'll be covering that next year, most likely. Also I've been meaning to cover Spongebob too, so that'll happen eventually. 🙂
Having redownloaded Dinosaur gba on my phone im surprised I get as far as i did cause its confusing
I actually owned this game and boy do I have a personal vendetta against it but that's what happens when you let the same poor minds behind Spec Ops make your games
How do you edit your videos?
I use Vegas Movie Studio. 🙂
@@idonthaveanose Ah, okay thanks im gonna check it out!
It's easy to use but the newer version I bought this year is much more awkward to use than my old version. I have both though, and switch between them.
Question: this movie came before the land before time right?
Nooo, long after. 🙂
@@idonthaveanose oh🤔ok
I didn't even know Dinosaur had a PS2 release. I know it had a PS1 and Game Boy Color but not PS2
Once you've seen it, you'll wish you hadn't. 😂
@@idonthaveanose There is also a Sega Dreamcast version which is exactly the same as the PS2 version. However, unlike the PS2 version it actually released in North America.
Sorry I haven't gotten around to watch this sooner but my schedule to watching TH-cam and doing other stuff is a mess, on the other note I really enjoyed the video as always and the movie was great to my honest opinion
Where's that damn jungle book? Also back to the future reference but seriously please review it's been months now & I already dId a remastered the jungle book 1967 animated movie opening 1 day later
My 9-y/o enjoyed this & the Polar Express reviews. He was wondering whether you've played The Water Horse on PS2?
Thank you!! No, I haven't but I can see about doing it for a future video! 🙂
@@idonthaveanose Thought I'd replied to this sorry. He asked about this again & mentioned that he liked the game despite its flaws, but loved the movie.
My god played this when ps2 came out born in 93 and i only gotten to the smaller dino by lick after that i died and ´ever played again
I never before heard about this movie. But thanks to you and others in chat I now a little more.😊👍
The movie gets so little credit, I'd recommend it :)
Thanks.😊
How about reviewing the Ice Age 3 video game? That’s just my only request, sorry
Since it's been requested several times, I'm hoping to cover that one next year some time! 🙂
@@idonthaveanose oh god if you start doing ice age games you might be surprised by how many there are. A new one just released recently, on PS4, like last year. Yes it looks like the graphics were from the ps2 era, and yes, it is a 3d platformer. Good luck
"Dinosaur" is actually one of two movies from Walt Disney Animation Studios not considered part of Disney's in house animated catalogue in the UK. The other one being "Winnie The Pooh 2011". But you know what the UK does consider part of the WDAS cannon in the UK? "The Wild"...................which wasn't even made by Disney.
That's very true! I rolled my eyes when they missed out Winnie the Pooh. What will they do when they eventually reach their 100th film? 😐
@@idonthaveanose God only knows. I mean "Winnie The Pooh 2011" was so overlooked that it doesn't even have a Blu Ray release in the UK, which is really sad.
And it was the last traditionally animated film to date. Really odd! It's equally odd that Dinosaur is left off the list as it's their first CGI film
@@idonthaveanose Probably cause it was a mixture of live action and CGI, whereas "Chicken Little" was their first FULLY CGI film.
Yes - but that's no excuse really. There are several of the 40s package films that used live action. I think it's probably more to do with the fact that it was produced by The Secret Lab, and they maybe initially didn't consider it a proper 'Disney animation'. Maybe. Who knows?
Thanks for putting my last TH-cam channel in your Madagascar 2 ps2 review, which was Clannad68.👍
I thought I remembered your name too so figured you'd got a new channel. Thanks for watching as always. 😁
Gee, ur channel really needs more subs. Your vids are giving me sum Caddicarus vibes and I love it
Thanks so much for watching, it means a lot! 😁
I will NOT be playing this one. I was falling asleep just watching the gameplay footage. You were great though.
Yeah, these were painful to get through! I actually wish I'd have divided this into two separate videos as the PS2 one really drags.
This is one of the few Disney movies I haven’t seen🤔 but I’m immediately curious about the game🤩
Honestly, my advice: Ignore people who criticise the movie. The plot is simple but I think it's great. 😁
It still looks good despite being 20 years old. Saying that makes me feel so old. 😂
I don't think you have any right to complain. 😂
I don't mind inaccuracies tbh. All the dinosaurs in the movie didn't live around the same time, and obviously there were no lemurs. It doesn't spoil the movie for me though. Didn't iguanodons have beaks or something? Aladar with a beak would just look weird.
Haha! When I was little I was obsessed with dinosaurs.
Dreamcast Version The Bast!
Dinosaur is one of those movies you gotta be in a specific mindset to enjoy
I always wanted to play this game
Was that a finding Nemo reference?😁
Where? 😱
@@idonthaveanose about friends like these...unless it wasn’t a reference to Marlin’s joke🤣
Ohhh no, haha! 😂 But speaking of Finding Nemo, I wanna cover that game too
@@idonthaveanose ah ok. There probably is a game for that too😅
There is, and it ain't good 😂
i had this on ps1 i played it once, but yeah its worst game ever made, Aside from the land before time, dinosaurs don’t make for good games, Aside from shrek treasure hunt, its probably the worst game i had No wonder i have depresion🤣
Amazingly, I still own worse than these games. 😂
The game is not bad but the it's the best movie on Disney's history
Well I’m glad I tried the movie 🙂
I love this movie
Badass
I had this game 😂😂😂
Aaahhhh I’ll have a look!
I love this game lmao
