Cave Days

Woo dinosaur clubbing! Compared to other recent games in the same vein this isn`t that bad. I mean you get a club, what more can you ask for?Apparently multiple simultaneous mini-quests which result in gems. Like lots of graffiti. Not sure how that would end in gems, or why cavemen would want gems, but i guess it makes as much sense as coins or anything else. The map seemed to branch off in two directions, which was interesting, but kinda pointless. It looked like the same dino clubbing fun in either direction to me. The controls took a bit of getting used to. The fact that the instructions took place while the countdown was going was a bit annoying, but with time bonuses there ended up being more than enough time. To get around you have to jump, swim and trigger buttons that change your landscape. Prehistoric buttons I`m sure. You get to throw rocks and dinos at well everything. Aim, power up and throw, either knocking berries off trees, dinos out, or buttons. Which is pretty nifty. At the end of my trial period though, or what I decided was the end, I just wasn`t all that impressed. You press down to pick up berries and to drop down levels, so if you miss the berry you have to go back up and start over. I found one berry I couldn`t pick since the only way to knock it seemed to be into the next screen over. And of course if you moved a screen over the berry would pop back on the tree. It wasn't falling off the world, which happened to me in Supercow and Turtle Odyssey, but not all that encouraging since it was in the first few levels. Still, you get a club and you throw dinos. If that`s been missing in your game play download and try. It`s mindless dino action fun without any major flaws that I could see even if it didn`t inspire me to buy.
