Disney’s Dinosaur is an action-adventure game for the PlayStation, released in 2000 alongside the animated film. Developed by Ubisoft, the game lets players control three distinct charactersโAladar the Iguanodon, Zini the lemur, and Flia the Pteranodonโto survive a perilous journey following a meteor strike. Blending exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat, you must switch between the dinosaurs to utilize their unique abilities to overcome obstacles and predators.
How to play
Your objective is to guide the herd to the Nesting Grounds by completing levels that require teamwork. You can switch between characters on the fly: use Aladar to push heavy boulders and fight off predators like Velociraptors, use Zini to slip into small spaces and gather items, and use Flia to scout ahead and fly over gaps. On a standard PlayStation layout, use the directional keys or D-pad to move, the action button to jump or interact, and the attack button to defend yourself. Use the shoulder buttons to swap between the three characters when solving environmental puzzles.
Tips
- Mastering character switching is key; if you are stuck in an area, there’s likely a specific ability from Zini or Flia needed to progress.
- Keep an eye on your water and health meters. Exploring off the main path often rewards you with necessary restorative items.
- Avoid fighting large groups of enemies when possible; sometimes running or flying past them with Flia is the smarter strategy.
